[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:

I have 3 children.  I need to know that the temperament of the parents/breed, I need to know that the dog and its relatives have been raised in a loving way and I need a dog that's a good family dog.

I don't care what people say pit bulls and Rottweilers etc. CAN be trained to kill.  it's in their DNA.  a rescue dog you never know what it's been through and when it may snap or turn on you.  not it's fault, I am not blaming the dog, some of them have been through some trauma.  with 3 little children, I can't afford to take that risk.

no matter what you do, a Labrador retriever cannot be trained to kill.  a 5 year old can pull its tail, stick its hands in the mouth, bother him all day long and he will NEVER harm a child, they're sweet as can be, esp. if theyre bred for temperament etc.[/quote]

Sorry, you're completely wrong about that last point.  As a local shelter volunteer, I saw pure-bred labs, goldens, and border collies all surrendered for biting a child or children in the family.  ANY dog can and will bite if provoked enough.[/quote]
+1 Breed does not guarantee temperament.  Any dog that has teeth can (and will) under the wrong set of circumstances bite, cause serious damage, and even kill. Don't allow your kids to pull tails, stick hands in mouths or provoke any dog!  [/quote]
