Crested dogs are wonderful family dogs that love to be with people in their lives. They get along well with children, although you should consider the age of the children and how they interact with the dogs before bringing this little creature into your heart and home. They can be easily injured and should not be left unattended with children or even alone in the yard. However, family members of all ages who know how to handle dogs will play games, cuddle affectionately on the couch, and enjoy an active life.
