Thank you. @cecieg Yes, he eats raspberries directly from the bush and likes them very much. When you get your B&T hokkaido?
Haha that is too funny, maybe there are wild raspberry bushes in Oregon, and my future Hokka pup can have some
Shigeru is helping myself, @lindsayt, and @thegela get everything lined up to import puppies from a working Hokkaido kennel's litter in the Spring (some time around March-May hopefully!)
Some brindle Hokkaido photos can be found at this link. I was going to insert them, but they ended up showing up as huge pictures, so I decided to link them instead.
@brada1878 I thought so too, but I'm ninja browsing at work and don't have the time to scrutinize haha. The small ears and eyes were throwing me off in the second picture.
I like the red hokkaidos, and the red brindles. I dont really dig the white brindle there, BUT- if he was my dog, I'd just be glad I had a good dog and name him Kabanoki. "Birch tree" to go with Juno "Momiji" (red maple) and Matsu "Pine"...I think I will name all my nk after trees...
I added the what I thought was a sesame Hokkaido based on a Google translation of the text in the blog I linked. I removed the first image, but left the second in case it is a Hokkaido. If someone who understands Japanese better than I can wouldn't mind taking a look and confirming if the picture I left up is a Hokkaido or not, that would be great (maybe Shigeru? @TheWalrus ). I'll remove it if it is a Shikoku. I'm sorry about the mistake!
@WhoBitMe - LOL, it's okay. I almost posted a picture of what I thought was a brindle Kishu, but then I realized that the blog was saying that the brindle Hokka was the same size as a friend's Kishu. Google gave me the picture because it had the terms I was looking for and I was just blundering through Japanese.
I checked the blog. The post is about the sesame female in the picture @whobitme posted. She is a Hokkaido, but everyone thinks she is a Shikoku, and that's what the post is talking about.
@TheWalrus Wow it IS a Hokka?! That dog is beautiful! I wouldn't mind finding it's breeder and importing one some day. Would you mind linking the blog? Edit: Never mind, saw the blog link
@Krisz Aww you have such happy Hokkas They're amazing. I really hope that one of their puppies do find their way here to the US!
Oh, I like so many of those dogs! Thanks for sharing. I'm really drawn to some of those reds, the sesame, and the sparse brindle. I agree, I need more money, too.
Ohhh I love that black and tan one. Looks epic. I really like the first one too. ahhh they all look like devils tho. After Yezo, all I can see is "devil.. devil... punk... devil...super devil.. "

@cezeig I found some the other day. Most of them are the invasive blackberries but every now and then you'll find a raz bush. It was awesome.
Shiba & Hokkaido friendship!
Our 2 boys: Tobi + Maru and the stick :-)

@Losech We'll have to go hiking March and you and Conker can show Ren and I all of the Oregon secrets 8)
This thread is a problem for me. I already want too many dogs :oP
I love the silvery brindles on the Hokka.
ETA: I was just sharing my personal opinion. I could be wrong, that happens a lot.
The rooster crowing sounds like my far off neighbor they have chickens and I hear them every so often. hehe
