Beardies on the whole have excellent temperaments and are very good with children. They can be bouncy, which may scare some younger children, but if taught how to behave correctly (both the dogs and the children I mean) everything should be fine. They are an active breed, who adore company and plenty of exercise and grooming, so people should consider this before purchasing a Beardie. Some cane be known to bark a lot. I know people who keep their Beardies in kennels, but usually when they have more than one. I would not think that a Beardie on it's own in kennels would be what I would call "happy", but that's just my own opinion. Personally, my own Beardies live in the house with us.
