I'm with Eileen. If you have the kind of family that will include your dog in life (you'll never go to the bathroom alone again!), are willing to be diligent in training and have the time/energy/space to give them some good exercise - you should do fine with a BC. We get the boys out for long walks and frisbee/ball every day, but on the occassions when we can't - they don't instantly turn into wild ones. If you have super demanding schedules or cherish your personal space, you might want to consider another type of dog.
