I've got both kinds, one we had from pup and the other from rescue. Both are equally watched regarding children I have a 5yr grandmonster, altho both good. If you decide to go with a dog from dogs trust they are very sensible with the factor of children. To start with all the family must be present when you walk the dog in the first instance. After your home check you are then asked to go back to the kennels enmass for at least another dog walking session before you can take the dog home. At least this is how evesham dogs trust do it. I dont believe a certain breed is any better or worse with kids, its how they are treated/trained that counts.
