<< We have no regrets at all.  They are wonderful with all the children in 
the neighborhood, and good with our grandchildren.  The only "problem" I have 
found with children is the tendency to "paw" people for attention.  Our 
3-year-old granddaughter was "pawed" and subsequently scratched by toenails.  
No big deal, but it made her a little apprehensive.

Reminds me of an incident we had this past spring.  Went to a show in 
Virginia Beach, VA over Memorial Day weekend with two of our pyrs, Baron and 
Zoe.  We stayed at the camp ground where the show was held, and on the last 
day of the show, a couple that are dear friends of ours came to visit.  They 
brought along their daughter and son.  Maggie (the daughter, about 7 years 
old) had been bitten by a dog the previous fall and had to have stitches on 
her cheek.  When we took them up to be introduced to the dogs (both were in 
their crates), Maggie wasn't afraid of our two.  We asked her if she'd like 
to put them, and she said she would.  Then she asked "will I have to have 
stitches?"  We assured her she wouldn't, and once the dogs greeted her, she 
was fine.  We all went for a walk around the camp grounds with the dogs -- 
Maggie very proudly lead Zoe, and Zoe behaved like a perfect lady.  Guess 
they knew that Maggie had some "rehab" when it came to dogs.
