  Great pics! Thanks for sharing!
  
  (And now that I see his size, I think, huh, that's what happened to my Toby...he's not really a Shiba, he's really a Hokaido inu! *lol*)

  Thanks for posting pictures I love seeing pictures of Nihon ken especially once you don't see too often.
  
  Polo looks so healthy and happy for a 14 year old. =)

  I agree with Nicole, he seems to have aged extremely well. I would never guess he was that old from the pictures. He's still a handsome boy.

  lol... It took me a minute to figure out where the "YES Tigger" comment came from, Jessika!

  Love the pictures! What a handsome boy.
  
  Shibamistress: I agree, really I think that somewhere along the way quite possibly some Hokkaido genes slipped in way back when and is carried in some of the Shiba lines. No proof though that I know of unless there was some way to differentiate via DNA or other genetic marker of some sort.

  Thank you for the comments!
  Comparing to other Japanese breed, I think Hokkaido has the most puppy-looking face.
  Maybe, that's because of their roundish face : )
