I'm somewhat concerned about my current 3/2 (Lab/Chesapeake/Something) dog vs. small children.

I believe that she could be appropriately trained to leave them alone, but may need more practice/training. Learning about the neighbor kids would likely work well in a short time as she is quite friendly with the household cat and other dogs/people who are in the "greater pack".

She doesn't directly attack them, but a couple of them tease her while she is on the 2D backyard overhead run arrangement.

It’s the direct attacks (documented and on video) that I’ve seen so much with this breed.

I think we agree that dogs with children need to be monitored and that some dogs must not be allowed to mix with children.

But video after video, documented accounts all point to pits sport killing. The dogs we had did posses guarding behaviors and defensive aggression. They did not hunt people or pets to kill for sport.
I’ve never had a dog who behaved like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo8z_MO8_SA

It’s like watching a lion single out the baby zebra. I keep seeing this kind of thing with pits. People attacked in houses that the dogs break into (force locked screen doors) or walking down the street. Is it ok to own a screen door or walk down the street? So many accounts of these dogs jumping fences and breaking out of enclosures TO ATTACK and maim someone or their pets. It’s not normal behavior.
