All dogs can attack/harm children or adults, regardless of breed. Likewise, all dogs can be trained and socialized to be wonderful family companions. The onus is on the owner to properly train the dog from a very early age to be calm and restrained around other people and animals. |
While true, some breeds are better with kids. Huskies are great dogs but are typically more aloof than labs. Cocker Spaniels aren't great dogs for kids as they nip alot. Of course there are exceptions but like the OP said he wants to hedge his bet with a lab. I don't blame him as they are probably one of the best family dogs.
