The dog also was insanely hyperactive, and kinda coocoo, makes me think he was probably some type of inbred, which isn't uncommon for purebreds. After I think 5 years of ownership we gave him to a friend who seriously loved the dog and the breed and everyone was happy w that arrangement.

But I never ever ever want to have a dog like him ever again. Some breeds better belong in the hands of professionals. My current dog is a shelter dog from Romanian and a former stray. And he's just ideal with his energy level and his personality, 10/10 best dog I have had the privilege of owning.
