Default RE: Good dogs around kids?

While most Shorthairs are good with kids, I have an 8-month-old daughter and I would not trust one around her until she is 10, maybe 11. I have been around just too many that bite.

Brittanys are kind of nervous and are more than likely to leave the kid alone. Most of them will be more afraid of the girl than vice versa.

I don't have experience with very many Weimaraners, but the few I've been around have been really good with older kids. Remember, with this breed you're looking at a 70-80 lb dog. It doesn't have to be mean to hurt a small kid.

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
