Answers:

Children...

Yes, they can be good with older children and younger children should always be supervised with any dog.

Training...

They can be stubborn and require a sense of humor in training but are very smart.

Housebreaking..

Is up to owner are you consistent and timely advise crate training as would any good breeder/owner

Bite?

All dogs have teeth all dogs bite, you need to teach them at an early age to have a soft mouth.

Toys are okay fingers are not. They do like to chase feet, must teach feet are not a toy. Puppy teeth are sharp.

Mean,

no not mean, loving, loyal, willful, and a good protector.

Shed,

If you have them hand stripped no, most pet owners have them clippered. They will shed a small amount like humans lose hair on their head. This will be seasonal but if you brush often then it will be minimal.

Humor,

tons of it they have a great sense of humor.

Please do read 4 and 6 year old children need to be trained around dog as well as the dog needs training, supervised yes. Some kids and dogs have better
