    Thanks. They are great with kids. Our youngest female (who is also the boss, go figure), hasn't been around a lot of kids, but our momma loves them. We had a little 2yo boy here while she was pregnant and she let him lay on her tummy to feel the puppies. After they were born, he showed no interest in them, but spent an hour hand feeding the mom dogfood one piece at a time while she looked at us like "But I'm not hungry." Her daughter (the one further back in the last picture) was around another toddler who tried to play fetch with her but he thought throwing the toys at her head while saying "go get it" would be successful. She dodged the toys but didn't run away or growl at him. I think she got that he wasn't trying to hurt her. They are great, and our whole pack is great with the puppies as well. The only problem we have is when they are about a year old and don't understand that they are big, so they will knock kids down. If the kids are about three or younger I usually hold them until the dog calms down and has said their hellos.
