Neil if you wish to be pedantic and pull my post to bits i can assure you i trust mine 100% with children/adults pensioners etc,but i cannot trust them if my back is turned our in a seperate room and there are children.kids like dogs are unpredictable what if to use as a example one child suddenly startles one,i own big dogs and one being larger than average is quite boisterous but thats the breed in him.he could easily knock a child over the child only needs to bang its head and there we have a accident which has involved one of my dogs.I was out of the room and didnt see it,where do i stand with the Law i tell ya they would investigate me and most probably remove the dog.
I have countless pictures of mine playing with children only this week my youngest dog was out sledging with the neighbours children,but i was out there in the cold and snow with him.So thats why i can say i trust mine 100%,but as a responsible dog owner i would never leave one of mine alone with any child.I love my dogs i am not going to put their lives at risk along with a child.You cannot take that risk.perhaps thats just me but i would protect my dogs like people who have children protect them.
So hence thats why i said i do trust mine 100% but i would never leave them alone around children its a risk i am not willing to take a childs life is precious and i couldnt live with myself if any of the dogs i own hurt a child.
