Here are a couple of picture of Nanuq. He is now just over six-months old. The one picture shows him with our eight-year-old Bernese.

He is so handsome and so adorable!
How do you like his temperament so far?

 

[Southern by choice]

Wow has he grown!

Yes, like Grazer asked... how do you like his temperament so far.
I really hope you share alot more about this breed.

He sure does look lovable....

His temperament is good. At this point, he doesn't bark at people - everybody is his friend. He barks and howls when the sheep are baaing because I am at the barn which isn't necessary. However, during the middle of a March night, he was having a fit. I could hear him around the barn and then he was along the fence by the house. I had ewes due to lamb so I got up to check things out. I found a ewe in the barn with just barn twins. She later had a third one. I haven't left him loose in the meadow with the sheep and chickens because he loves to chase anything that runs. He is a digger and can move dirt in a hurry. I have chosen to "pick my fight" on digging. He isn't allowed to dig in the yard but a small flower bed beside the house is OK. I think our eight-year-old Bernese likes a softer bed. We have been surprised at the way he puts his nose to the ground and just goes. He would remind you of a hound dog. Nanuq tends to have a mind of his own. He will come more when he wants to than immediately, sits after being told several times, etc. I have been taking him for occasional walk and heeling is not a highlight to him. I think he knows what it means but he prefers to be up in front.It may be because he is still a puppy. He is like a toddler. You check where he is and do something. A few seconds later you check again and he isn't there. It easiest to get something done if he has something to chew on. I need to go to some garage sales and pick up free old shoes, balls, etc. He has chewed up at least three tennis type balls. He had a rawhide type bone and that has been gone for awhile. Having said all this, we like his temperament and hope he "claims" the property as his to "defend".

Continue to socialize him with the farm animals on a daily basis, bring him with you when you do any routine activity with your stock.
And then keep a close eye on him, correct him the moment he shows the urge to chase the farm animals. If you want, you can just put him on a (long) leash, so you can have more control over his undesired behavior.
You have to remain consistent and do this day in, day out, until he starts maturing and showing improvement. Constant supervision and reinforcement of appropriate behaviors in the beginning and whenever a new situation occurs (like lambing for instance) is essential.

As for something to chew on, I always recommend bully sticks, as a rawhide can be dangerous, but you can also give him raw bones or antlers (antlers last for a really long time). That will definitely keep him occupied.
Being that he's still a puppy, he has tons of energy, but I bet your older dog doesn't have the energy to keep up with him. So try to play with him every day for half an hour or so, if you can.

Like the Great Pyrenees, Tornjak's have a pretty soft temperament when compared to most other LGD breeds.
But a well bred, adult Tornjak should always protect its owner and its charges from a threat. So hopefully in a year or so from now, you will see a more protective side of Nanuq.

What is a bully stick? Today I gave him a pair of old socks. I put the one inside and then tied a knot on the open end. Our Bernese will have spurts when he plays with him but because of mobility difficulty can only do it for so long. He had some good spells today. While doing some flowerbed work, he just laid near where I was before taking off again. We also plan to have him neutered but that probably won't be done until early next year. He will be a year-old in October. It is cute to watch him with our calves that are in the hutches. He especially enjoys the ones that are on milk. If he can get away with it before I see him, he will be lapping out of their buckets as they are drinking. Then when they are done, they will have the cleanest faces because he licks off any and all milk. Then he stands there sideways and lets one, two or three calves just suck and buck on him. He gets sticky.
