Any hunting or working dog will need a serious commitment for training and exercise from it's owner. Otherwise they can become neurotic and destructive.
I have a number of friends with hunting or herding dogs that are just awful to be around because their energy and need/desire to work haven't been directed in any positive way. I can barely stand to be around one friend's German Shorthairs for this reason. She has them both on Prozac, which is sad to me.
