Most dogs should have no problem with kids or even babies, but it really depends on the individual dog. I have had a friend with a baby growing up in a house, and they had a large dog, not sure what breed though. The particular dog was extremely friendly, I never heard of him barking once from the first time I visited that house. There was never hostility even toward strangers. So there was no problem at all.
Except one time, the kid (grew up from the baby) was standing in the doorway, the dog rushed out without paying attention to the kid and knocked the kid down unintentionally. The kid wasn't really hurt, but she was crying. "Bad dog!" everyone was yelling at him. I doubt he even understood what he did though.
I have heard there were very very few problems with having baby around dogs, but in those (already very few) cases it's the baby who is the later comer. The dogs just didn't get used to the new addition to the family, which isn't the case here.
Oh yeah, I have seen it somewhere about the list of kid friendly dogs,
Here is what I found,
1. Labrador Retriever
2. Border Collie
3. Beagle
4. Shih Tzu
5. Golden Retriever
6. Miniature Poodle
7. Great Dane
8. Newfoundland
9. Pugs
10. Beagle Pug Cross
Don't quote me on it. It's also someone else's opinion.
