How are your dogs with Kids?

Mine are all great with them. Huney most goes off and does her own thing after saying hi, but Roxey and Bon smother my niece Allison with kisses! Bon is so big now, when he kisses her he knocks her down

Peej really doesn't like to be touched by anyone but us (and Aly. ) so he really doesn't like kids too much.

Bailey loves everybody...kids too!

Dixie and Dusty both love kids! And in our neighborhood, the kids love Dixie and Dusty!! There are several of the neighborhood kids who actually knock on our door to ask if the dogs can come out and play with them. Of course I let them! It's always nice to have someone other than me throwing the frisbee for Dusty or the tennis ball for Dixie!

Maddie absolutely adored kids. I should have had children just for her. None of the standard rough petting and handling from kids ever bothered her. She just kept looking for an opportunity to kiss'em, no matter what they were doing to her.

Murph is pretty good. He gets all excited to see'em and have'em pet him, then he's ready to do his own thing. His favorite type people are the old folks really. Whenever we'd have a family bar-b-que, he could either be found exploring around the yard or sitting next to Grandma on the swing.

Oz is almost as good as Maddie was with kids. He seems to have a good understanding of them. Being gentle and good naturedly going along with whatever games they're playing.

Gull... Gull... Gull... Him, I don't know. He seems to view all that squealing and running around, as a flock that needs herding. I'm much more careful with him around kids. They just get him way too excited.

Kosmo loves kids, he loves to get them lots and lots of kisses. The only thing we have to watch is sometimes he gets too excited and may nock them down if they are really little. I attached a photo of Kosmo & my nephew Austin nose to nose...super cute. Hope no one minds me posting a few pics.


and one with my daughter in our boat.

Reecie is very good and patient with kids. My little cousin carries him around and pets him in a very awkward manner (NOT hurting him, just not the petting he's used to). He puts up with it like a saint, although when I look at his face, it seems like he'd much rather be someplace else

Lolly views kids in the same category as cats and annoying foster puppies. She knows she has to tolerate them, but she is NOT happy about it. She'll usually grunt and groan at me to let me know she's not happy too. She puts up with cats and puppies better than kids though. She runs away from my little cousin and hides under tables or under beds. I don't blame her though. She came from a very ubstable, abusive household. I won't be having kids while Lolly is with me so we're okay.
