I have a Border Collie/English Shepard mix. He's our little mutt and we love him. He's been great with my kids, infant to so far 6 yrs. (he's been around since the oldest was under 2 yrs.). He does herd my kids in the yard, and chases them in the house when they start running around screaming, and he will nip at elbows and ankles, but he's never hurt any of them (although I hate to say it...if it stopped the screaming..haha!) He is supposed to be a very active dog, but seems to do well with being in the house most days. Just don't leave the garbage can where he can get into it when you aren't home. He craves attention, but sheds like crazy!
I know there is more I could add, but you get the general idea I think, my puppy worked out great for my family and he was rescued! I am a firm believer in : 'it's all in the upbringing, how they were raised'.
Good luck and have fun! Before you know it, your puppy will find you, but don't rush into anything you don't think you are ready for!
