We are considering getting a JR, but wifey thinks they are too hyper and difficult to train. Do you have any experiance with the breed?
Yes, I find them energetic rather than hyper. They are completely loyal, brave and very smart. They also do not seem to experience much in the way of health problems.
They are also headstrong so training takes some patience but they get very connected to “their people” so it can be done. I highly recommend these lovely dogs.
