Most of the dogs on her list are big, you don't think a Lab or Golden will "knock over, step on and probably injure a child"??
As far as the experienced dog owner this depends on the dog and the commitment of the owner.
Dante is my first dog.

I do think a lab or golden will knock over, step on, and probably injure a child. Obviously once the dog is well trained, i'm sure it won't. But if i had a young child, i wouldn't get a large breed puppy. At 8 months old, a GSD (or lab, or golden, or any other dog) who weighs 60 lbs, is going to be capeable of rambunctiously "loving" her daughter, and harming her.
Since you sound like such an active family, i think a Aussie would fit into your lifestyle, but it WILL try and herd your kid.
Brittany would def. be my vote for you, or an adult golden.
