Haha ours is about 11 months old and is such a handful! We got him when our second youngest dog turned one and thought we were puppy pros. Wow did he humble us haha!
He's lovely and a really nice, friendly dog but also as mad as a box of frogs, a terrible combo of naughty and smart, always willing to push boundaries with the other dogs just to be a pest and seems to be made up of a combination of some sort of never ending battery mounted on springs all wrapped up in the body of a small horse lol.
Your descriptors are spot-on! We also thought "how tough could it be to raise this pup" , only to be schooled by him daily. The one thing that we are grateful for is that he is a gentle soul, without aggression. I understand the girl DH's are much edgier. Westminster Kennel Club always uses the "most perfect creature of heaven" description when announcing DH's, but says nothing about how they aren't born that way! I love them.

We also have a deerhound puppy who likes to annoy the other three dogs in the house haha. They are so mischievous!
