Do you think the nature of the cross breed is good with children and have you encountered any ailments. Thanks Rally

Milo loves playing in the water and is brilliant with children. He's had nothing wrong with him in the way ailments since we've had him and he's 2.5 years old now. That said every dog is an individual and it won't really have a bearing on how the pups you went to see turn out.
Also you need to be aware that the pups you saw more than likely won't look anything like Milo. I've seen Lab/Staffs that look alot more like Staffs than Labs and vice versa even from within the same litter.
I think the mix is good if you have children because both Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Labrador Retrievers are renowed for being great around children but on the flip side they are both energetic, boistorous breeds and put together you can sometimes end up with a OTT one, just like our Milo
