This is a dog for the dedicated training enthusiast, and if well trained and kept busy, is likely to be good with their own children but not with visitors and so is better suited to the adult only home or those with older children and teenagers who will enjoy training the dog and walking for several hours a day. Not ideal as a pet for the average owner, this is a fairly intense dog who wants to be working most of the time.
While many dogs are traditionally thought of as being good with children, all dogs and children need to be taught to get on with and respect each other, and be safe together. Even so, dogs and young children should never be left alone together and adults should supervise all interactions between them.
