Honestly, SBTlove, if you're looking for a dog that has the energy to keep up with and the temperament to deal with kids, you're best bet is the SBT. No doubt. That's basically their speciality. When we fostered our staffy, she was 6.5 years old, unspayed, and had a large mass (basically a necrotized hematoma) that needed to be removed. Once we got her all fixed up, she was adopted to a family with 2 kids, 8 and 14 years old. From what we've heard from the family, that dog has made those kids "her's". She is constantly watching them, never leaves them, does everything with them, and never waivers in her temperament. I would feel better about a staffy with kids than any other dog, hands down, especially if bought from a breeder with noted temperament testing; but even if it's a rescue, as I've found, a good dog is where you find it.
