3- Supervision
No matter how old is your child, and no matter what dog breed you decide to get remember: never leave your child alone with your dog. It doesn’t matter how loyal this animal is to its owner, it is still an animal. On the other hand; children are children. From time to time children do silly things that could frighten, or scare dogs to death. As soon as they get scared dogs try to protect themselves, and sometimes they could hurt whoever scared them (your child.)
