They're EXACTLY like puppies.
They pee on your floor, cost a king's ransom to fix, and are generally pretty much a pain in the butt for the first year or so.
They cost way too much to buy, way too much to own, and cut way too big a swath in your life. There is no rational reason to own one, aside from wanting to. You find yourself making pretty significant decisions about things that would seem to be unrelated, based on their needs. Some people build special structures to house them. Some people take them to shows so other people can see how excellent they are.
Pedigree is important, but only to you and your weirdo puppy-people buddies (nobody else cares). You'll go to enthusiast-oriented websites to learn what other people know about them.
You either get it or you don't.
