Just Juno!- November refresh
Cant believe I neglected to make Juno a thread! Well, here are some pics and a little bit about her:
Yamabushi no Momiji Juno is my female kai- from Haru's first litter, the 1st KKA litter born outside Japan. Her dad is Riki (still in Japan) and her brothers are Kyuubi and Sosuke (who looks a lot like her) and her sister is Taka, who is at Mijikai Kennels with Marsha. This litter was born the beginning of February 2011. This is how flippin adorable she was when we first picked her up:
Juno lives with me, my husband and daughter, two ancient and enduring cats and three other striped dogs here in the Green Mtn National Forest in Vermont, where she has grown into a perfect outdoor companion. We hike nearly every day in the mornings for an hour in the woods and take longer hikes on weekends. Juno has scaled 10 USGS summits here in Southern Vermont, as well as some challenging and long hikes to non-summit destinations such as lakes, sites of long-ruined settlements and just good walks with interesting names, like Rootbeer Ridge!
She is polite to the thru hikers we meet on the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail- she is unworried about odd smelling bearded guys with sticks and backpacks
Her socialization is good, and she has been to area dog festivals, and shopping at dog friendly places like Orvis, as well as spending many days at work with me at the ski resort. She is pretty hunty...
She is an all-terrain dog, and swims easily and readily for fun. She climbs up on blown down trees and scrambles ledges when we're bagging peaks.
Juno also has taken some family dog classes, passed her CGC and has dabbled in lure coursing.
I think she is quite possibly the most beautiful dog in the world- certainly to me.
and I love to do everything with her, I love that she is rugged and athletic and smart, and I love that she is affectionate and deeply bonded to me and me to her.

We're very proud of her.
Yay Juno! She certainly is a good match for her name!
Did you have to teach her to swim or did she just do it?
Saya has wandered into the creek and walked and swam a bit snow was on the ground, but she was on a mission to get the leaf floating in the water! lol
She comes out shakes off and she dries pretty quickly. I always bring a towel anyways to help in case. So far she has had no problem with it.
She is so lucky to have a great home like this. I wish I had forest for Saya to roam in..
rafatturi she is spayed I believe. Unless you were saying that in a sense if she was able to I'd want a puppy from her. hehe
I agree she is beautiful kai ken and so adventurous. I like both her parents too.
One of the best tails in Kaidom. She is scratching the snow to sniff the scent in layers below. Very astute, Juno!
Juno and Matsu hear something down in the hollow.

"Juuuu-no, COME!!"
On my desk, so she can help me...such a kai!
I think she loves her life here and all the stuff we do. Juno is my closest dog.
She loves Matsu, and she is my shadow at home. I got up to let Matsu out to pee in the middle of the night, and she came with us (because she does what I do). I didnt turn on the light when I put Matsu back in his crate and then I noticed Juno wasn't on the bed- in fact I went back thru the house and couldnt find her anywhere. All was quiet. I thought maybe I forgot to let her back inside. Nope- she had just slipped into Matsu's crate with him and they were cuddled up in there!
Really cute that she went and cuddled up with Matsu too!
Juno is adorable in general, though.
