My neighbors have a HUGE pitbull but he's the biggest baby on earth, he just wants love!! My only concern with him and kids would be his strength and wanting to jump for attention. I have a corgi and have to keep an eye on her with my kids because she was kicked at by a neighbors 4 year old when she was younger and we had our backs turned. You just have to keep an eye on them and teach kids how to approach and handle any dog.
