My kids were born and raised around dogs so we never had an issue with young children and the dogs. Our dogs are good with the kids and the kids are good with the dogs. If you get a dog/puppy, you will need to be very careful until your child/children learn the proper way to treat a small dog. They can learn to live together with your help and guidance. If you are really concerned about your youngest one, then you may want to rethink your plans to get a puppy. The child must understand the puppy cannot be kicked, hit, dropped, or abused in any way.
