Questions about Roxanne & Abigail

As small dogs, especially with Roxanne's three-legged status, Roxanne & Abigail don't require a large yard but do enjoy secure outdoor time for exercise and play. Regular leash walks and safe, supervised yard play suffice.
Is this breed typically suitable for homes with children?
Because Roxanne & Abigail are small adult dogs, it’s best for them to live in homes with older children—generally age 9 and up. Their rescue requires no children younger than 9 in the home.
Is this breed usually better for first-time or experienced owners?
