@jujus It was rough at first. I lived in a tiny upstairs apartment with no yard. Potty training was a disaster, and she didn't finally start getting the hang of it until about 9 months. We still aren't perfect, but she's down to one or two accidents a week.
Fortunately, I ended up needing to move out of that apartment for unrelated reasons, and was able to find a large 3 bedroom apartment on the first floor with a decent yard, and within walking distance of a park.
I work a lot, so it helped that my boyfriend moved in with me, and we have opposite shifts. So there's usually always at least one of us around to entertain and exercise her.
We invested into lots of toy/stimulus activity varieties to keep her busy when we truly can't take her out running like she would prefer.
The park we take her to has a big fenced in area, so we can let her run and throw some balls for her to chase across the field on days where I am just too tired for a real walk (which unfortunately happens more often than I'd like because of my job).
Boyfriend's parents also adore her and live out in the country, so she gets to run wild through the woods and farm areas on the weekends with the other dogs.
I definitely do not think I would have been able to make the best of a high energy breed alone, so BF and his family have been a blessing.
She's about a year old now and turning into a great dog and friend.
