JeJu has not had any training, but he is naturally well-behaved and very loyal. Indoors he's clean, quiet and just wants to be near to people. He has never gone to the bathroom in the house or destroyed anything, its just not in his nature.  Outdoors he has lots of energy which is mostly reserved for tracking other animals and chasing them when he's lucky. He's a hunter and explorer. He listens extremely well, except when in the midst of an animal he wants to chase like a rabbit or squirrel.  He's a gentle soul, but needs to be introduced properly before he can trust strangers. He's fine to be with other dogs so long as they are not aggressive. On the street he likes to chase cats but he currently lives with one and there have not been any conflicts. I would not trust him to be near kids unless they were introduced carefully and the kids were very well behaved.

 

In general I think he really needs a person/family who understands that he's a more primitive breed and someone who is interested in making frequent trips into nature (or has a big property for him to roam) -- otherwise I'm afraid an adopter would be disappointed in the experience and frustrated taking care of him. 

 

I made a website with lots of info, his story, and photos:    www.jeju.dog  

 

And a video compilation: https://youtu.be/pg_5EhaDW7s  

 

Please let me know if there's any other info i can provide.

 

Thanks again,

Elan
