I'm amazed at how many people have the wrong idea...

sharidan is right - they are nice to children but will accidentally hurt them if the kids are small. They knock the kids down, run over them, etc. They will never attack the kids.

Exactly.
Now my wife had a yellow lab growing up that was still around for her nephew to have until she died two years ago. That lab was absolutely awesome. She was as gentle as can be with kids. She also had a kind of sense when the nephew was doing something he shouldn't be, and would step between him and any possible danger. It was really a site to see. Kind to every single person. Accompanied us on walks and if another dog came around, she would get between us and the dog. That dog had the best personality of any dog I've ever seen.

I can agree with this, they are playful and friendly and may accidentally knock kids over. But Sharidan mentioned they are horrible with kids - that is not true.

Are you trying to say she was fat?

No, I was trying to say that these specific retrievers sucked with my sis in laws kids. They'd play fetch, but would get too excited and bowl the kid over when returning the ball. Then step on them a few times for good measure. I've never seen such clumsy dogs.

Well she did put on a few pounds in her later years, and did tend to let some offensive stinkers. ;D Another funny story about her. She would always take naps in the living room, and on a fairly frequent basis would rip off a loud one - so loud that she woke herself up. Then she would give the nearest person a dirty look and leave the room in an offended huff. It was funny as hell every time.
