true.
the best family dog with little kids around might be something like a golden retriever---these are docile animals by nature, yet still protective.
but you say you wanted a small dog, and sometimes smaller is not so good for a family type dog.
steer clear of cocker spaniels, or any highly bred temperemtal types.
