Pomeranian and shepherd are good, whatever you do, don't use a pitbull. if you don't know, their jaws lock, u don't want them around ur kids.

People don't recommend the Pit Bulls, but they can be so loving. I don't know what to tell you. What about a pincher or Lab? German Shepherds are a great choice.

None of those three. The first two have instinctual factors that can lead to attacks on kids, and many small dogs like Pomeranians have a naturally aggressive nature and/or bark frequently. This can occur even when they're "well trained". If it were me, I'd lean toward a dog similar to a black lab, or a retriever. Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. Hope this helps, though.

I wouldn't have the pit bull around any child trained or not many people have said that they are really not dangerous as people make them out to be but that's not true they are vicious dogs and are very dangerous to have. Many people will disagree but it's a matter of researching your own self to see that it's true what I'm saying

I had a german shepherd when i was a kid, and we just got another one a month ago, and I know that they are great dogs for everyone if you train them young. I can't say anything about the other two becuase I never had them.

Pitbulls and German Shepherds are excellent family dogs. You will get some people that respond and not really know the pitbull breed, they fear what they read. Pits have even been pets of presidents, must not be that bad. As long as you go to a reputable breeder and get a pit you should have no problems, they're absolute the biggest babies you'll ever meet. Pits have gotten a bad rep over the years because people are misinformed they think every dog that looks like a pit is evil and will bite/attack your kids, so not true. You just have some evil people and some ignorant people around the breed. Poms can get snippy with kids.

I would have to say that there are not any "stupid dogs" just STUPID owners. If the dog is brought up around children then naturally it will be used to them. I have a five year old dog and he is "ok" around kids....but yet he is definitely NOT used to them. I got Ben in my early twenties and did not have any children around at the time. He is definitely timid around children, however if you properly socialize the dog then you should be ok. It really all depends on the breed and how they are raised. An animal lover myself....the only breed I do not reccommend around children is Chows (regardless of how they've been brought up). I hope this helps.
