id go with lab or brittany out of the above mentioned. nothing against the other dogs, just never been around them.

We have four English Setters. We regularly have them all in the house while the baby is playing on the living room floor. They have never even accidentally hurt her.

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting

To say any breed of dog is good with kids is ridiculus. All dogs are individuals and even in labs some temperment problems are evident is some breedings. I would highly recommend you pick the breed that will best suit your needs. Some questions is do you want a flusher or a pointer? If a pointer what range do you want the dog to maitain? What size of dog and will its size hinder the game you will be seeking at times (such as geese)? Will the dog be able to handle warm temps? Will the dog be able to handle cold temps? Will the dog handle water retrieves etc. etc. etc?

Once you have picked the breed of choice than you need to do research on breeders that not only are breeding toward what you want in hunting but in tempermant in handling in the home as well. Then with this information and previous customers as references to check out make your descision.

Also what was mention about pups is quite true. I would recommend full supervised play time and maybe if the dog is older 3 to 6 months may require short periods of only half hour play time with the dog muzzled. Reason for this is if the dog is teething its natural attempt to the pain is to chew and a muzzle will keep any negative impact away from the child. Second you have to protect the puppy from the child. Some examples if the pup 7weeks etc. is picked up be the chest alone could cause the damage if not death to the pup. Dropping the puppy and picking the puppy up by a leg can cause negative joint problems later in life and can cause bone breakage as well.

Best of luck with which ever breed you choose but please take the time to research the pups background for traits including tempermant.

I have a four year old daughter and a 6mth old baby. I have a shorthair and a lab in the house. Both are fine around kid's.
My four year old daughter recently bit (hard) my gsp in the head and she never bit her back. She can sit on her ect.
It's hard to say though because each dog is it's own. Even with mine, as much as I love and trust them, their still dog's.
