Im very interested in this breed but apart from meeting one many years ago, I have no experience of them, what kind of pets do they make or are they usually kept as working dogs?
what sort of temperament do they have and is it suitable for a busy family environment with a couple of boisterous children?

I've only met one - which is a puppy. From what I understand, they are really for experienced owners as they are very stubborn and determined dogs :) There is a member on here that has one - hopefully she will see this and reply with better information :)
