I have been reading a lot about different breeds and through it all, i read excellent with children but no where have i read anything about introducing a baby into a family. I currently have two standard poodles but will probably not have them for much longer because they belong to my parents. My fiance and i are looking at getting a dog together but not sure which type to get. Any suggestions?

There is plenty of information and advice on the internet on introducing a baby into a family where you already have a dog.
Here are two links to webpages that you should find useful.

The introduction of a new member to the family can be distressing for both children and animals alike and it pays to be aware of the problems you can encounter. My sister-in-law exiled her dog to the garden once her baby arrived as that was the easy way out, she eventually ended up giving it away - that made me very sad and very angry.

I think any breed of dog can be good with children as long as the owner has done a good job of obedience training and socialization with children of all ages. This foundation should be in place before a child becomes part of the family and close supervision should be maintained for both the baby's and the dog's safety. There are some breeds that may be too large and energetic to play with young children without knocking the child down unless the dog has been well trained. Some of the toy breeds are very fragile and could easily be injured by a child playing too rough or dropping them.

Thanks for all the information... it helps to know that there are resources and i guess i just never really tried to look. I will definitely have to show my significant other the information. Again, thanks for the help.
