New Hokkaido inu litter in Poland
On 7 February 2008 a new hokkaido inu litter was born in Poland (kennel Running Morpheus Kennel - friends of us), sadly only one puppy from 3 has lived enough to start eating.
There are some pictures of puppy and her parents.
And my favorite

OMG! This post managed to first bring tears to my eyes with the puppy pictures and then LMAO at the last picture!
Thank you!
That last picture is awesome. I actually laughed out loud twice---once when I first saw it and once when I went back to look over the pictures again. Hilarious!
Oh yeah, and the puppy is cute too!

Edit: Make that three times!
Yea, I think that last pic is great! Really funny! I think that look is called "The Stink Eye"- lol!
The puppy pics are really cute, the second one is just so sweet.
Awe. What a super cute pic with the pup. So sad it's the only one that survived.
I'm not familiar with this breed. Beautiful. Are they smaller than Akitas?
Jamie - Yes, it's Ewa.
sujewel - Oh, they are a lot smaller than akitas, they are smaller than shikoku, but slighty bigger than shibas.
Romi - Hokkaido inu litters are usually small 2-4 puppies, they are hard to breed - but in this case it was rather unfortunate case.
My Niki (hokkaido) is from a litter of 5 puppies...
Her parents had 4 litters (if i remember well)
1) 3 puppies (all males) 2) 4 puppies (1 female 3 males) 3) juste 1 female and 4) 5 puppies (3 females and 2 males)
I think there is less puppies in east bloodlines due to the strong family relation between dogs... (it s a consequence of the consanginity)
But even, Hokkaido are not easy to breed...
Time for new pictures We have go to Running Morpheus with our new photo camera Here are the results:
Proud Father
Whole family
Whole gallery you can find on Running Morpheus website www.hokkaido.info.pl
Thanks for the pictures, they're great! I love that cute little tongue giving kisses in the fifth one.
I have to admit, I used to think that Hokkaidos just looked like bigger Shibas. But seeing this pictures has made me appreciate some of the subtle differences, like the shape of their head and the setting of their eyes. Even at the young age, you can already see the family resemblance to this puppies parents. Particularly in the 7th pictures, with the ears back and eyes like that, I'm reminded of the "stink eye" pic (last pic in the first post on this thread) that I still laugh out loud every time I see.
Yea, these pics are great! I like the family one as well.
The head shape of that male ("proud father") is very nice.
A few days has passed. Kagai (she has a name now is growing very fast.
She is very curious, and seems to be not affraid of the surrounding world. She likes to explore a lot.
She is trying to eat everything arround, even stones
She is developing strong guarding instinct, there she has spotted some strange women on "her" property (this was a wife of the photographer)
And there with her family
Playing with her father Kai
Parents on the run
Playing with mother
As usually more pictures are available on Running Morpheus Kennel

Also I was asked by Eva (owner of the Running Morpheus) for a little help. Kagai was reserved by the person from Sweden, but due the personal problems, she has resigned. So Eva is still looking for a new home for Kagai. She could be contacted at: ewa@husky.info.pl or kennel@hokkaido.info.pl

Jamie
Misscomunnication - Eva, was thinking that you are interested with importing male hokkaido.
Robert -
Oh no, I would take male or female. It didnt matter to me just as long as he/she was healthy! I emailed her so hopefully I hear something from her. She is such a cutie and looks like a lil polar bear!
