Is a Boston Terrier Schnauzer mix good with young kids?

We're thinking about adding a Boston Terrier Schnauzer mix to our family, but I want to make sure it's the right fit for our home. We have two young kids who are very energetic and have never been around dogs before. How do Boston Terrier Schnauzer mixes typically interact with young children, and would they fit well in an active family environment like ours?

Answer
