Of course a even stable pit bull can be good with kids, (I don't recomend that though )

I don't recommend them either. They're good with kids until they're suddenly not. I still feel a little sick when I think about a 3 year old "best friend" of a pit bull that was trashed by the dog... and I mean killed even though the mother was right there when it happened, fighting for the child's life. (Geesh, I think I have a little post traumatic stress from that call.:barf
If you ever wanted a gun dog that doubles as a guard dog, though - hands down, Chesapeake. They're super hard chargers, too. (Hard chargers and hard headed.) But that's a dog that really sheds. One day I was determined to get my Chessie immaculate, but no matter what, I couldn't get it done. I don't know if it's even possible to get a Chessie completely brushed out. And they have a slight tendency to be dog aggressive, especially if they've had a bad experience with another dog.
Can I vote again? Lab!
