I had very good luck with my Dobie (RIP) and love Pits....though I rarely leave any baby or toddler unsuperives with any dog larger than Taco Bell.

What a beautiful puppy!
So’s the wife. ;o)
My inlaws have had several dobies and pits.
All have been great dogs, even with children.
Though, one time the insurance agent got wind of the pit, and canceled their insurance.
It took a while, but when their new insurance agent actually went to meet the pit,
and saw what a sweet and friendly puppy he was, they were able to get insurance again.
Just like children, it goes to how they are treated as pups.
“what sort of dogs do you have around your kids EC?”
We have a two year old Golden Retriever. For 14 years we had a cocker spaniel as the children were younger and they all got along famously until she went to the rainbow bridge.
We got the Golden from Retriever Rescue when she was about a year old. She is a wonderful dog and super breed to be around children and I’ve never had to do all the work to socialize her like everyone here says needs to be done for a dob.
As I said, dobs are smart, great working dogs but my experience with them is they are loyal to one, and only one person in the family and cannot be left with young children cause you just never know.
I like the breed, just would never have one or want one.
