Whatever dog you decide to get, just be careful when the dog is around your children. Dogs can get jealous when a child gets the attention. I raised my daughter around poodles and they were fine. I always watched them when Lisa was toddling around. My friend has a malti-poo and she is going to give him away because he nipped at the 2 yr old. I have two Yorkies. One I would totally trust and the other is a nipper. So it all depends on the dog, not particularly on the breed. They all have teeth and the possibillity of nips.
Do get a dog. There is so much love and children should be raised to learn how to love a dog. |
