Story
Justice is no longer working out in our home. Crate Trained. NOT leash trained. Acts like he's feral but he never was. I got him at 6 months old and hoped he would grow out of being skittish with time and maturity but he has not. He would do best in a home with an adult who is experienced with training and willing to devote the time to a difficult dog. He would make a great companion/hunting dog if trained as he likes to chase squirrels and rodents. I do not recommend him being around cats (he killed one of mine) or kids. He does love female dogs his size as a companion.

He is a love bug and loves to be with his people once he gets to know you. Demon is quirky and will need someone patient and experienced with "little dog syndrome". He is good with other dogs.
