Yes, it's our first dog. My younger daughter has been begging for one for ages. But my employer sent me to Germany for five years, and our landlord wouldn't allow pets. Now that I'm back and have my own house, we can have one.
We got her from the animal shelter, so nobody knows what she's mixed with. At three months she was 10 pounds, and now at five months she is 23 pounds. She looks like a Jack Russell on steroids. Had I known how hyper they are I might have gone for a pit bull or a Rottweiler instead. <grin>
Ha shes a beefy dog! Our dog sometimes gets overweight as he loves to eat. Yeah they can be quite hyper dogs terriers, I have one a Border terrier. Hes still hyper even though hes middle aged now. The thing with them they are working dogs and have a lot of energy and they are really cleaver, but not so much as say a Collie.
You need to be a bit careful with them though as they can get snappy even if they are just playing they can use their mouths a lot, apart from that they are a good dog for kids. I wish I had a dog like that when I was young; as we had a Pug then and they aren’t into too much rough and tumble.

We’re not allowed pitbulls in England
