What about a Bouvier from working lines?
They are pretty high drive, very handler orientated and forgiving. And smart like a whip. They get along great with children if properly socialized with them. They can handle alot of kids crawling on them.
The only draw back is that they can be DA and SSA. And of course the coat. You could have to brush it every day or two. Or just clip it short.
But I think a Cattle dog would be a great option. I dont think I have ever met one I did not like. They seem like hardy, amazing dogs.
