From my experence the best breed I have seen with children
are PUGS! I don't know if it would be the right breed for you.
I am not sure though... don't get me wrong.
Pugs are very gentle and kind and Pugs don't bite.

Pugs do tend to have health problems, so I don't know if you want to deal with that, and I don't even know if you like
Pugs. Some people don't.

I wouldn't get a Labrador or a Golden Retriever for a littler kid, but you don't have to listen to me... actually it depends on the dog. Cause' Labs and Goldens ROCK!!!!!!

Good Luck,
Dogz
