I just watched an article on TV news yesterday that stated the four
most dangerous breeds of dogs around childrem are: Pit Bulls,
Rotweilers, German Shepherds and Huskies. I was surprised to see no
mention of Dobermans or St. Bernards. Three of the best breeds around
children were the Golden Retriever, Labrador and Cocker Spaniel.
