15 worst dog breeds to get along with kids.
Personally disagree with a few, and understand the herding breed thing with nipping, but you could make a entire list of 20 herding breeds that nip and bite.

Honestly I don't care for these types of lists. Even when they're "right" they're so generalized as to tell you nothing about the breed.

For almost every one of those breeds I can think of a dog I know or have known that is GREAT with kids. These types of articles are hugely popular so there's no doubt a string of researchers being urged to find statistics of ANY type for dogs. It contributes to DSL and stereotypes that make our lives more difficult with our gentle and well-trained dogs.

Lol I can still remember people cursing that their Border Collies are too hyper and destructive indoors. All purchased because the Border Collie was named the smartest dog in the world!

Love that list lol, there excuse for 2/3rds the list for being dangerous is not properly trained or socialized. Hell that's 50% of the poodle owners in the US.

I don't know if I just live in the wrong places, but I'm pretty sure that's close to 70% of all dog owners of all breeds. If anything, I'm inclined to believe that the majority of the powerful breed owners on the street (versus locked up in a yard or house for drug dealers etc) are generally more responsible than people who own labs (what is up with Psychotic Lab Epidemic? I see this everywhere it seems).

My guess would be bad breeding. they have been in the top 5 of most popular dogs for several years. So between byb and mills, something bad is bound to happen in the gene pool. Breeding wise.

Not only Labs, but Golden Retrievers, too. Believe it or not, at least 2 Goldens have full-on tried to attack my boy- they displayed an aggression I have never seen before in the breed.

I blame over-breeding due to popularity. And clueless owners.

Add in a drive for a "flashy" dog who does well in the show ring.....Goldens aren't supposed to be flashy, that "goofy cheerfull friendly" Golden look isn't flashy, so they work the dogs who carry their heads higher and move flashier.....never mind that its really nerves and temper causing it....

Wow, Boerboels are considered to be family dogs. The temperament is developed to love and protect the family and children. Dogs that showed aggression were killed and the line was not allowed to reproduce. I have never personally heard of a Boerboel attacking a child.

I think the title of this need to be changed to:
[h=1]15 WORST DOG BREEDS TO GET ALONG WITH KIDS who have no parents[/h]Pretty much all the reasons they gave for not getting this or that kind of dog could easily be treated with training BOTH the dog and the KIDS.

 

[DDSK]

I have two Cane Corsos one 3 years old and one 7 months old.
The 3 year old loves kids and the 7 month old does not yet, but I believe that is a trust issue that I'm working on.
