The problem with small dogs is they can be more easily injured by a rough playing child. I have a medium size dog and at this point she is still bigger than my daughter. But thankfully she knows to get out of her way. And she has gotten a little rough with the dog. Which is why I have to know where everyone is at all times. I don't allow them together unsupervised. Ofcourse my daughter is only 10 months old this month. The thing with dogs and and young kids that I've learned is you have to supervise at all times. Too many things can happen. Kids can get hurt, dogs can get hurt. They can hurt each other. I would definately wait a little while if I were you. As far as the Minature Bull Terrier, that is a question for someone else. I'm really not sure. I mean the "Pit Bull" type breeds are all supposed to be wonderful with children, but it also kind of depends on the kids as well and their understanding of how to be with the dog. Personally I'd love to own a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Wonderful animals. But thats still awhile off for me.

I wish you luck on your search for the perfect dog for your family when you decide the time is right. Only you will know when your family is ready to add this new member.
