I started a thread about this once but did not get a reply on it. However, ours is aggressive toward children who are under about 10 years. I know of absolutely no reason why she would be as she has never been hurt, teased, or anything else by a small child. She is rarely around small children, but she has snapped at every small child she has been near. Not one was doing anything but looking at her or trying to gently pet her. In fact, I have always been holding her at the time because we did not know what she would do.
