• Thrives on affection and attention and can be sneaky about getting it when the mood strikes.
• High prey and high play drive.
• Loves to play ball and run around. Also swims but not his first choice of things to do.
• Very smart and driven by treats, which makes it easy to train him; doing well with sledding.
• Loves being groomed and allows his nails to be trimmed, although with some hesitation.
• Has no food or body issues with a trusted person, but will think nothing of quickly swallowing whatever it is Juno has in his mouth.
• Best walked with a Haltie.
• Great with other dogs.
• Having a hard time kicking the habit of coprophagy (eating feces).

• Needs an active outdoors type family.
• Requires plenty of daily exercise.
• Would be a wonderful dog with older kids who could match his energy level.
• NO CATS.
• A fenced yard is a must for Juno.
• Has never lived in a house, so house training and dog-proofing will be necessary.
• Need to be diligent about not leaving things laying around that he can chew.
• Only positive reinforcement should be used to train and interact with this dog
