Could you please send some of them in an e-mail as attachement. I would like to crate a new page on my website with pictures of Shikoku's that I've placed in nice homes.
Well, I guess we think alike! I just sent you an email with a bunch of them, before I saw your post. Let me know if they email did not arrive and I will resend them!
Good luck Jenn! I know it is a long wait, but worth it. I waited ~3 years for Sachi as I wanted a specific breeding/pedigree that was not really related to my male dog Kuma.
Hey Jenn, I'm on Katja's list as well. When I emailed Katja a few weeks ago, she had a male from Kuma and Aiko. My wife and I decided to go on her list instead as we were not quite ready for a new puppy yet.
I'm kinda curious about the different coat colors and how much change there is from puppy to adult. Katja told me that black and tan Shikoku puppies will stay black and tan, but it looks like Brad's Ahi started out black and tan, lightened up as she aged and ended up black sesame. Sachi started out red sesame and got darker as she aged and looks black sesame, like Ahi as well as her parents Kuma and Kimi. In these 2 instances, it seems like their puppy colors provided little indication on what they finally ended up. Pretty interesting...
Your dogs are gorgeous. I saw you here because my AA is named Sachi too. When she is older, and my life is a little calmer I have considered getting another dog. How old was Kuma when you brought home Sachi? How did you decide to choose the opposite gender? It's a long ways off (3 years, maybe) but I am already thinking about whether I'd prefer another female or not. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pics.
@sachismom -There's tons of info on the forum that can help you with adding another pup in the future. Take a look around, or even start your own discussion, to get the answers to your questions.
