As a general rule, I won't normally trust dogs around kids either, but
my border collie seems to really love kids. She's very gentle with them
and loves to play with them. She'll roll over to get her tummy rubbed
most of the time or tumble around on the floor with them. With a baby?
No way. Any animal can accidently hurt a helpless infant.

They are animals. You cannot expect them to "reason" like a normal human.

She's gotten on well now with Lynn's kids since her little boy was only
two.

No way in hell would I trust my Lab/Chows alone with any child. They are
not mean per se', just unpredictable. They get locked up when we have
company.

Responsible pet owners know where to place limits...

Even Chihuahuas can get snappy and bite. Size does not really matter
when it comes to dogs.
