We had one when I was growing up and pretty much everything posted here is spot on. They are very hyper and have endless energy so you need to be ready to deal with that. If you don't play with them and walk them and exercise them they will do it for themselves. Ours destroyed the couch one day. My mom was at work and my brother and I at school. We all got home and the dog had literally torn all the stuffing out of the couch. They are also serious diggers. You will have holes in your yard.
While it may not be typical, ours also eventually found out how to get into our chicken coop and killed every one of the chickens we had in there.
