I'm also really glad you're considering rescue - that is awesome.

I am kinda late, but as to other breeds that I've experienced as being good with kids - English Springer Spaniels, Goldens, Brittany Spaniels, German Shorthaired Pointers... basically most sporting breeds, as long as they aren't too hyper for little ones. GSD's, Rough/Smooth Collies, Huskies, Standard Poodles, Great Pyrenese, and English Bulldogs also tend to have good kid personalities. However, it really does vary! For instance, my BC is very shy with some new kids and kids that are hyper and run around (even though he loves the kids in our family)... BUT, I've also met BC's who adore kids.
