We have a 12 year old female tri colored Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We got her when she was 8 weeks old. Mackenzie has often been surrounded by small children under 5 years old. She has had children pull her ears, grab her nose, hug and kiss her, try to ride her, and violate her personal space. She has never growled or snapped at anyone ever. The story is the same for other Corgis we’ve known. Not all dogs or breeds are dangerous with small children.
Agreed. It’s not wise to allow kids to do “anything” with any animal, and they really must be taught about respect, but it’s simply not true that every dog is a serious danger to every kid because they “kiss them, hug them, nestle in with them”, etc. I already mentioned my German Shepherds.
Again, always be careful. But there is no excuse for PBTs. They simply ARE that way. Trigger-happy.
