Watson is only 10 weeks old but he loves loves loves my daughter and every other kid he's been around thus far. My daughter, Ava, is 2 and it seems like her and Watson act exactly the same lol...bouncy, full of energy, playful, lovey, and they both don't seem to listen

Sometimes I think he likes her more than he likes me. I was hesitant at first when I read up on the breed...but I think I made a fabulous choice!

Princess loves kids....her tail stub (lol) starts wagging a mile a minute once she see's one. She is usually the same way with adults as long as they don't have a dog with them, she's fierce if they do....I try to tell her that they could eat her in one bite, but she just wont listen!

Betty Boop loves our 1-1/2 yr old granddaughter. It took her a few minutes to get to know her, but then WATCH OUT, they both wound up playing and running with each other. It is actually very entertaining to watch. Of course, I keep a very close eye on Betty Boop to make sure she doesn't get hurt.

Bitsy loves anyone that will show her attention!

My 2 love meeting new people. They are wary if people who too excited and hyper.

My boys are not huge fans of kids. Bf & I have been together over 3 years now and he has a 14 & 17 year old boys and the dogs LIKE them but won't go NEAR them. They will cuddle with them when I am not around though. And they wag like crazy when they hear the kids coming but only from the safety of my lap. And these are older kids! Fletcher is intrigued with babies though but Dexter really just wants nothing to do with anything that moves really. Fletcher likes some kids and will go to them, the smaller the better for him... but Dexter, no kids and no other pets is fine with him. Which is a bummer because he is small at 6lbs so kids love him! He is good though when he does get snagged he will sit nice with a child and not try to get away or hurt or nip or anything like that.

I didn't mention the before but see other have a similar situation-Elvis isn't especially socially inclined

but on three occasions I can think of off hand we've had a infant over, he doesn't get excited, try to see them but he seems to "guard" them...the other dog are interested but Elvis going to the infant, turns his back and my Elvis who normally submits to, I say they bully him-but not really- he'll give up a toy to them instantly thought anyways he'll growl at the other dog to stay away and this is the only time they listen to him & back off, in fact Scoobers and Princess are terrified of his personality change, appear confused and just back off....Elvis doesn't smell the baby watch nothing, no interest, but he wants the other dogs away and he'll lay down next to them...we say he's our little fun police man for other things-is he really guarding the babies?

Is that good, bad? Anyone see this before?

Sasha doesn't care for kids but she also didn't grow up with any. Plus, it's partly my fault because I didn't socialize her as well as I should've when she was a puppy. She's my first dog and I've learned so much since then. She's not all that great with dogs either unless they're her size. Most of the kids that shes encountered have gone towards her face and she doesn't like people she doesn't know getting in her face. Shes never bitten anyone but she does growl if she starts getting irritated. She also seems uncomfortable and unsure around kids.

Charlie_Boy · 03-02-2011, 09:52 AM

I have teenage kids and Charlie loves them. He hasn't had too much interaction with younger children. We had a family over and the first time he LOVED the 2year old and was all tuckered out by the time they left. The next time they came over he stayed up on my lap the whole time and wanted nothing to do with him. So not sure what that was all about!

I thinks that socializing is the key. I have a 8 yrs old daughter and they both play rough. They even fight over a toy and get mad at each other, it's so funny

LeylasMom · 03-02-2011, 11:23 AM

Leyla gets freaked out by little kids. Too noisy and they move too fast at her. We don't have any friends with little ones so she hasn't really had a chance to meet them. Loves adults and bigger kids but under around 8 years old she wants nothing to do with them. I like kids as long as they belong to someone else! lol

LuvTaycieGirl · 03-02-2011, 11:38 AM

Taycie is in LOVE with Kids. Not only has she been around them since she came home but I think it also has to do with her sweet personality.

She just is always happy. Her favorite are the little kids. She does wonderful with 2 yr olds. Plays with them snuggles them, kisses them. Plays hide and seek. It is ADORABLE!

She goes with me to pick kids up from school and her entire body just shakes.. she knows when its time for them to come home. Currently her favorite little lap is the 3 yr old. If we are sitting parked somewhere waiting in the car I will let her out of her crate and she will climb in the carseat with the 3 yr. old and she will snuggle right up. She is truly a sweetheart
