oh yes i agree with the smaller dogs being nasty. my daughter got her face ripped apart just before her first birthday when she was staying at her nan and grandad's by a fox terrier. she is 4 now and still bears the scars, i hate all jack russells, fox terriers and any little type of little snappy yappy terrier. i think staffy's are the best with yong children. i had a gorgeous boy named bruno who sadly passed away last year but anyone could do anything with him. he was funny with other dogs but 110% with children. i have 2 german shepherds now and they are big babies but as the saying goes i would never trust either of them 100% with my children
