No, but I have quite a bit of dog experience.
They’re not a good dog for a first time owner. They’re wicked smart, high energy, and if you don’t make boundaries and stimulate them enough, they will make your life hell. I highly recommend another breed as a first time dog. Let me put it this way, I have owned dogs for decades - everything from pit bull rescues with problems to golden retrievers, this is not the one I would take on.
If you feel you do have sufficient experience, call the breed kennel club and get recommendations for a reputable breeder from them. Make sure they share health clearance, meet the parents, etc
