I think you done good.

If you decide on new dogs sometime in the future I personally with go with a different breed.

My daughter, the mother of my 4 and 5 yr. old grandchildren has TWO GOLDEN RETRIEVERS. They have been with the children since babies. I have never seen more patient, loving, nurturing dogs than these two. Boston has been dressed in baseball caps, tutus, sunglasses and a superman cape. Ragan tries to stay out of the way when dress up time comes. These dogs have been wallowed? wrestled, and rode hundreds of miles. I have had many breed of dogs over the years but this is my pick for children and family life. Unfortunately shitz shus? are known to attack without warning. They were trained as Chinese guard dogs. They can never be trusted especially around children. My daughter was bit twice by shitz shus, both times unprovoked.
Definitely try a Goldie. They are wonderful!
