Hi, I also had no experience with dogs when I got my CW at the age of 16 (and neither have my parents), but still we managed. I don't say that perfectly, but we were able to do agility without any real embarrasments and she even starred in a TV-fairy tale.
So, as others said - if you love CW, if you are prepared to daily "struggle" with it's intelligence and innovativness , you can have a great friend. Because if you want to, you can get experience together with your CW.
But I would really recomend to anyone wanting to buy a CW as his / hers first dog (and also to most of already experienced dog-lovers) to try to go to a training camp with the new puppie. There are quite a few to pick from, ranging from a nice vacation with a lot of advice to real working camps.
