As long as they are ALWAYS supervised when together and you properly train Ernie I see no problem. AmStaffs are great dogs. They love their people, and are great with children. They are working dogs though and therefore need exercise every day. They are not a breed to be left alone a lot because they will find something to do to entertain themselves. They want to be with their family and when left alone and unexercised they will become destructive.
I have known many AmStaffs and related breeds. When properly bred and trained these are wonderful dogs. They can be little clowns and will make you laugh. They are also great snugglers and hot water bottles in bed at night. My friend had a great AmStaff that I would always snuggle with when I was at the house. She was also great with Morgan. Very gentle. She would always lay down when Morgan was around so Morgan could play with her. And when she was walking around she would gently high step around so as not to step on her. It was so cute.
