Yes, Giant Schnauzers can be good with kids (if trained properly). Schnauzers love families, so Giant Schnauzers are naturals with kids.

Giant schnauzers are also very energetic and can accidentally knock small children down when they get the rips and start running with great speed. Giants are best gotten as puppies to be raised with children. That said, they require quite a bit of training. Some have high herding drives and will try to herd children. They do this by nipping but they are only doing what they were bred to do and not being mean. Again they must be trained. Also an adult in the house must be alpha and understand the concept. The alpha person must be firm but gentle. If there is not an alpha in the house hold, the giant will take over and run the house. Do lots of research about giant schnauzers before getting one. Join groups to discuss the breed and meet several if at all possible. They are magnificent dogs but they are not for everyone.

What is a better dog out of a Miniature Dachsund Miniature Schnauzer or Pug?

Well you have to look at they way they act around your family, and others pets, and they way they listen to you. Pugs and Dachshunds are stubborn, VERY stubborn. Also, they tend to chew on shoes, carpet, and cords, which is very bad. Schnauzers listen and obey. I think Schnauzers are best because they are sturdy and versatile....Also, they are great with any family members, and love to be cuddled. Pugs and dachshunds don't like small children and bond to one person, which means anyone else they will try to bite.
