  • I agree with "TheWalrus" and having taken my Shikoku off leash on many, many hikes in heavily wooded, and mountainous areas, I can say that it takes a lot of initial training from puppyhood to after the prey drive kicks in around 6mo to 1 …
  • Here's a video of Banshee encountering his first turtle on the trail as well:
  • I have a video of Banshee chasing a herd of feral pigs in the woods at 6 months old. It is hard to see the hogs, but I assure you that is what he is chasing. You can hear them if you listen carefully. I was scared sh*tless at the encounter and he …

  • Thanks all for the comments. I created a discussion under Shikoku photos/videos for all additional Banshee SPAM.
  • Thanks, I've been a member of this forum for almost two years and I've been waiting on my shikoku for the same amount of time. He was a long time coming, but worth the wait.
  • He's 10 weeks old in these pictures.
