Many pound dogs are just fine. In fact, the best dogs I've ever had have been pound/shelter dogs.

I agree. I've been that route twice and the best 2 dogs I've ever owned and did excellent with small kids. The first one was a 5 year old mixed hound type and the 2nd was a 7 year old cocker.

I wouldn't recommend a pound dog with a young child. Dogs in the pound usually have some problems that require training out, like being improperly socialized.

That is WAY too broad a statement. Just don't rush into the adoption until you have viisted the dog a few times, had some 1 on 1 time, etc...
Good luck
