Dog and Kids

Most all dogs will get along well with children if they are raised with them. However, some breeds have a protective streak in them and may naturally become aggressive towards children around meal time (although this should not be tolerated), or aggressive to strange children. They possibly will not see the children as being higher then themselves in the "pack order" and may try to dominate them.

Some dogs will put up with little children who pull their ears or poke them in the eyes, while others will not and map nip or bite back in defense.

So if you want a dog who is excellent with children avoid breeds which may have a dominance streak or that have short tempers.
