I don't understand why people would say they would never trust any dog around kids, but yet they have both. Do you really think that just because you're in the same room, something can't go wrong? You're standing right there every time they are within reach of each other? Didn't think so.
I never think twice about my dog and kid together. Maybe it's because I am the alpha, and my dog knows this. My son can do whatever, whenever, and he shows not a single sign of aggression. No growling, no snipping. Doesn't even move.
I never worry about my son going to the dogs food bowl. The dog simply moves out of the way, and lets my son do his thing. If I make a sudden movement towards my son, my dog will start growling at me, and will latch on to my arm if I try grabbing my son. I've never hurt my son, it's just something I taught my dog.

I would only trust a young child around a dog that the child was raised with from when it was a puppy, being in the same room does not mean a thing, do you know how quickly a dog can bite your kid's face off? It would take about 2 seconds.

I hear you on that. I text the wife and said we will only look for puppies.
lol
You're anthropomorphising your dog. It's just that, a DOG, not a human. Yes you might be the alpha to your dog but your dog may feel it's superior to your baby. I read a story recently of a couple living in Calgary where their dog killed their baby. They said that the dog was always friendly around the baby than one day it just attacked and killed it. Take that for what it's worth.

its possible that it could be ok
but when you have a kid it is always better to raise from a puppy
dogs learn there behaivior from there owners and you really cant teach an old dog new tricks

yeah thats ridiculous...trish the 147 pound great dane was more protective and loving of my son than i am
I knew that's what I was doing. Son of a gun....
Anyhow, I have already decided against this idea. I will be getting a pup, when the time is right.
To anyone who has a dog and kid(s), and feels uneasy about your dog being around your kid(s), you should probably kill your dog. Why have them around if you feel that way?
I dont think its a dog around kid issue. As kos said, some dogs are extremely loyal. But bring a pit into a house it isnt used to,a dog it isnt used to,you and your family it isnt used to, things can happen. And with a pit, its not like a little shit dog nipping. It could get real bad.
Better to be safe than sorry. The last thing you want to hear is "my dog never did that before" mean while your 2 year old is disfigured in ICU.

This thread is one big bowl of derp derp derp.
Some good advice in here. I will definitely stick to getting a puppy, and raising it as my own, but I don't understand those of you who have kids and dogs, and say you can't trust your dog around the kid.
You're basically telling me not to do this, for the safety of my child, while you're putting your own children in harms way. derp derp derp.

A guy I used to work with had two of them. A male and a female. He says they're the nicest dogs in the world and wouldn't hurt a fly. I've even been over his house and the dogs were both really playful with me.
About a year ago, he received 2 years of probation because the male dog got out, attacked the neighbors dog and wouldn't let go. He had to stand over his dog and insert a crowbar in the back of his mouth to force him to release the smaller dog.
They won't release unless you force their jaws open. I've just heard too many "hit and miss" stories to get one. I'll stick with my dutch shepherd.

I truly think it comes down to how you raise them.
I was just talking with one of my customers, and she told me that her friend has two boxers, and they're the greatest.
Funny thing is, that's the kind of dog my dog got in a fight with. This dog always had a problem with other males, and tried to attack my dog. I punched that mother fucker in the head while he was going after him.
So, should I tell everyone not to own a boxer?
I also knew a little dog(don't know the breed, don't care, small dogs are shit) that would snip at anyone who got close.

And they want to keep the damn dog! I could never do that. Dog would be dead.
I trust my doggie (shepherd/lab) to be around my daughter unsupervised. I actually think my daughter is safer with her there... my dog won't let strangers get near my daughter, car, or house without permission. Unless it's the pizza guy. Hopefully the pizza guy never tries to kidnap my kid or rob my house...
bullshit, Pits are not like any other dog, they were bred to fight and kill, and they have lock jaws.
I would only trust a Pit around a kid IF the Pit were raised from a puppy with the kid, otherwise fuck no.

You know best, Ben. You just gotta make your best decision and do some research. It's just takes that one time, though. I hate small dogs, but if a small dog bites, you may just have a little blood or a stitch or two.
If a pitbull locks on...
What about an adopted rescue with multiple scars on his face? Should i take the chance? Fuck it, i got a pair of balls i could just make more babies if anything happens. Derp. gears. Life is all about risks right?
This is very true. A larger dog, pit or not, could take a babies head off in one furious chomp.
my daughter's pitbull. pollie, was abused used for breeding and abandoned. she loves babies. my dog is bigger n tougher n doesn't have good play skills. pollie put him in his place one day n for all the ferocious noise he got one tiny scratch near an elbow. dogs are not mindless retards. mine was a stray and he's too dumb to play nice despite his size but he mushes my kittens up and lets my pigeon be the boss between the two of them. i can take his favorite fresh meaty bone n he will kiss me to get it back. it very much depends on the individual dog. even dogs that are abused n used like shit can be good dogs n hand raised puppies can be pricks. know the dog n be vigilant.
He's a frequent visitor, huh? haha
Hahaha, fuck you, lol.
He is, but it's because of my obese cousin (she lives downstairs).
Breed Myths
"Pit Bulls have locking jaws." The jaws of the Pit Bull are functionally
the same as the jaws of any other breed, and this has been proven via
expert examination.
The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the
skulls, mandibles and teeth of Pit Bulls show that, in proportion to their
size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is
no different than that of any [other] breed of dog. There is absolutely
not evidence for the existence of any kind of ???locking mechanism??? unique
to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier,
says Dr. I. Lerh Brisbin of the University of Georgia (from the ADBA
booklet, ???Discover the American Pit Bull Terrier.)
???Pit Bulls have more bite pressure per square inch (PSI) than any
other breed.??? This is absolutely false.
Tests that have been done comparing the bite pressure of several
breeds showed pressure PSI (per square inch) to be considerably lower
than some wild estimates that have been made. Testing has shown that
the domestic dog averages about 320 lbs of pressure per square inch.
Recently Dr. Brady Barr of National Geographic conducted a comparative
test between a Pit Bull, a Rottweiler, and a German Shepherd. The Pit
Bull had the LOWEST PSI OF THE THREE.
When it comes down to it all in the end its YOUR child and you have to make the decisions you think are best.

FOR OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS AMERICANS KNEW PIT BULLS FOR WHAT THEY DID BEST. BABYSITTING.
Astoundingly, for most of our history America’s nickname for Pit Bulls was “The Nanny Dog”. For generations if you had children and wanted to keep them safe you wanted a pit bull, the dog that was the most reliable of any breed with children or adults.
The Nanny Dog is now vilified by a media that always wants a demon dog breed to frighten people and LHASA-APSO BITES MAN just doesn’t sell papers.
check out the old photos with this article. freaking amazing. fuck the haterz.

Oh shit, just saw this one. My dog has husky and shepherd in him.
Most Vicious Dog - Dog Central
What's funny is, I have been bit by the top two dogs hahahaha
Right below the eye by my uncles Husky(climbed in cage while he was eating)
And on both arms by a Dalmation(friends dog, reached over the fence to pet)
I thought this test says they have the best temperament.
