I have a 11,10, and 8 yr olds skinkids and a 8 and 5 month furkids. Boy do they love each other. I really do think it depends on the kids and dogs themselves. If you know your kids are rough and to say it in a nice way adventurous small dogs are big no-no's. Also keep in mind that when your pup is teething he will bite everyone and everything. So whether you decide to get your pup before or after is really your choice but I recommend before so you can have him train before the crying and diaper changing so you won't fall into depression.
Good luck!
