If want a safe dog, get a golden retriever. But even then, be aware that a baby or young child should not be left unattended around any dog, even a golden retriever, as they are capable of biting if provoked, whether provoked intentionally or unintentionally.

GRs have attacked and killed people.

Conversely, “ dangerous Dobermans” have killed 10 people total over many decades, but 9 of those deaths were done in defense of their owners who were in danger.

Sitting in a vet office with my well trained PTSD Dobe one day, an idiot brought a GR in and proceeded to sit right up against us both despite a huge empty waiting room.

With no warning and no reason, the GR literally leaped overtop of me to attack my good mellow Dobe.

I’ll stick with what I trust.

Almost any dog has to be watched around small kids
I put my Rotts up around em

My Dobie 20 years ago who was formally trained was great with toddlers but I still watched him
