Deanna, I have 2 italian cc's. I do not have children, but they have been socialized with many children in my area and my friend's children. when they play with the children, they are great, they know they need to be gentle and that was something that I did not have to teach them. the kids can pull on them, lay on them, they just love it. when we meet children on walks, they just sit really still and kiss the kids, the whole time their tail is going out of control. about protection, my male will "protect" me from my husband when we are joking around, but only by trying to put himself in the middle of us. he will kind of force his body in between us. my husband did not meet the dogs until they were almost a year old and they were never violent with him or show any form of aggression.
your other dog will be the one who decides if you will have any problems, in saying that i mean that they will have to decide who will be the "big dog." the best way to solve this is to show them that you are the big dog and both of them answer to you. the male will not show his need to be the dominent one to your other dog until he hits manhood. if you can establish yourself as #1 before then, it should be a smooth transition. the best way to do this by rolling them over when they show any form of aggression of do not listen to commands that they have learned and should otherwise obey. you can learn about this form of obedience training in a variety of dog books. it is a pack oriented thing that works well for these pack oriented dogs. simply role them onto their back,sit,wait for them to look away, away from your eyes. if they look you in the eye while in this possition it is like them telling you that they are equal. you can also do other small things like sleeping on higher ground ( not letting them on the bed or couch) and feeding them after you eat. you can have your child do this also to establish her as more important than them.
i hope that you make a well educated choice for you and your family. if you wish to email me, my address is sammygirlusn@yahoo.com.
