i had one about two years ago. she was a great dog. but extreemly hype. if you do not have a back yard i wouldnt even think of it. a walk will just not do. you can go for a 5 mile run and the dog is still just warming up. she ate through a wall. our vet took her because we could not keep her another day. when we move out to the country in about 1year we are absolutly getting another one. i have done a ton of reasearch on the breed. make sure that you get at least a two year hip guarentee. because most people say that they will give you a 6month to a year. when in reality it takes 2 years for most cases of hip problems. if you want i have the web site of one of one of the better breeders in the nation. just pm me.
