Default My new puppy Sakuraba!

Sakuraba is 7 weeks old! He's a Jindo which is a Korean dog. He's very smart and almost fully house broken at this point, the only problem is he can't hold it for that long so if you don't get him outside he'll have an accident...

He's very fun to play with but this is only his 3rd day with us so he doesn't know his name. That doesn't stop him from following closely behind me when we go places like walks or around the house. He ALMOST can sleep through the night but I need to let him out to pee around 4AM right now.

Next is leash training and some crate training....

Cool dog. You can't even tell he is Korean from his eyes... he must have some American in him.

Right I know I don't think he's a full blood Jindo or at I am hoping he is not a full blood Jindo.Full blood Jindo's are a pain in the *** from what I have been reading....

The link above has info on Jindo's....the ones on that link however are white Jindos. This one is yellow, here are some links to some Jindo puppies.

He's lost a LOT of his body fat and is starting to thin up. However his ears haven't perked up yet but apparently that won't happen for about 5 more months. He's very family oriented and loving...too loving actually. We've got to work on his attachment issues he has with us right now so he can be alone for longer periods of time.

Nice looking pup. I just got another Rottweiler puppy. He is the blue collared one in the pic. His name is Bentley and he is 7 weeks old now.

I like the name .

So, TKD or BJJ first? Remember, biting is illegal!

Oh I started in on boxing when I was 9 (family affair) then found Thaiboxing and did that for 10 years, then started doing Machado BJJ in Plano. Then moved on to MMA. Competed for a while but lost interest in it recently. Too many instructors in their 40s that are essentially crippled. Decided I may go back to it but no time soon.
