I always say: don't get a dog for a child/the children. Get a dog for yourself and if the children can help in positive ways, great.
A niece got a Lab cross pup for their six children. They soon found that the children couldn't handle the dog - the dog would take the kids for a walk and knock them over because he was too enthusiastically strong. I told my niece and her husband that they should get a small dog and that dogs are not for children to manage. They now agree with me. The dog has gone to another home.
