Who said schnauzers were mean? I have a schnauzer myself, and I love schnauzers. He's never been bad with kids, actually he seems to like them most of the time. He loved the kids when he was younger, although I think he prefers the adults now....of course, now he's pretty old (9 years)...and has no patience. He is not good with other dogs besides our other older dog, Smokey (16 years). We didn't socialize him as a puppy, so I guess it's really our faults. I still think terriers are a bit on the snotty side. It's that "terrier terror" attitude. lol.

My husky, Nebo, loves kids...but I can't let him get around them much. He likes to play bite, and he tends to jump on them. He's obviously not trying to hurt them, but the kids don't know that...lol. I don't think any child should be left *alone* with any dog, no matter the size.
