Any truth to that? Please anyone feel free to respond to this as well.

I mean, it's going to take work. They learn pretty quick if something isn't OK. If you just let it do whatever it wants it's going to be a ****ing land shark, but they learn fast as long as you're consistent. So you have to micromanage that thing - along with your toddler constantly in the beginning.
And you'll need to work the dog some. If they just lay around the house, they'll get full of energy, get the zoomies, and get themselves into trouble. Plus they have some quirks to learn and manage.
It's not some lazy house dog you just chill with, but once they're part of your family they are a damned rewarding dog to own. But let's be clear - it's not without work.
