Explain why this breed was good/not good with your kids:
If my kids get too rowdy she just goes to another room. My 10 mo. old son can sit with her and mess with her and she just lies there and takes it. She walks away from my older children if they pester her. She doesn't bark except on rare occassions. She never snaps or growls. She loves to cuddle and if the kids hang on her she just stands there and calmly lets them. She loves to run and play but she is gentle with the children.
