I find that quite funny, Dale, because I'd flat out trust a larger breed anyday of the week over a toy breed when it comes to my kids. A lot of the smaller breeds are very snappy especially around fast moving kids that can pet a little too hard. I know growing up with had GSD's a bit over the 100 lb mark that were completely devoted and gentle with children but you had to watch our little red doxie....she's turn on a dime and nip sometimes for no apparent reason.

People are just people though and often think somone needs to know their opinion. It's your opinion, therefore keep it to YOURself is my thought on those types LOL. Last time anybody fussed at me about having snakes and kids I gave them the stats on dog bites yearly and asked them nicely if they kept Fido confined away from the their poor kids.
