If I was 10 again, and I was the youngest of 3 (which I was) and we had the opportunity for this dog, my dad would jump at the chance. "Those" dogs were all we had. Our dobie was abandoned on a chain outside when his owner moved.. We knew nothing about him other than that he was there and we drove by, picked him up and that was it (I was 8). Our yellow lab was so unsocial with dogs and growly in general, and we kept her and learned from her without ever getting bitten (I was still 8). We always got the dogs that had a snowball's chance of surviving and we were young, and my dad knew dogs and it all worked out.
If the kids are in the right state of mind, I think this can work out. Some kids have great respect for animals if their parents teach them right.
Besides, 10 isn't that young anymore.
