I have a Pack Now!
So, I ran off to Japan for a couple of days and came back with this...
Her name is Kotomi. And she has a very cute personality!

She is absolutely gorgeous!
She's gorgeous though
How are Kei and Lynx taking to little Kotomi?
She is adorable!
*grabby hands* WANT!
There's way too much excitement with my being gone for a few days and bringing the puppy home. We just came back yesterday morning (Thursday - PST). We didn't do much, even though she was very lively...I kept her mostly in the crate to make her rest. Took her out only for feeding, potty breaks and mini-play sessions during potty breaks.
She got to meet everyone except for Molly (Min Pin/Chihuahua/Other Mix) - Lynx, Kei-kun, Fiskars and Mia - but no playing. Once things calm down I'll starting doing out of crate introductions with the dogs: throwing her outside with Shoushuu, random play sessions with Molly and taking her out on walks with Lynx. The cats don't want anything to do with her -shrugs-, nothing I can do about that <--- I think they will like her better then Lynx and Kei-kun though, Komi-chan seems to respect the cats already.
I'll keep you all updated on how things progress.
Now, I thought you might all enjoy some video-spammage:
Day 1 - In Japan:
Day 3 - Randomness at home:
so how old is she? will she end up with similar markings to Loa?
She is 3 months. She was born on September 17th. It's funny because Shoushuu's birthday is the 18th of September and Lynxiene's the 28th. So my entire pack are all September puppies, lol.
I'm actually very interested in seeing how her coloring will turn out. I know Shoushuu is more black with red hairs (Kurogoma). While Kotomi is more red with black hairs (Akagoma).
Mr. Fukuda told me that Shoushuu should darken up by 2 or 3 years of age. I'm also hearing that Kotomi will get more black hairs with age. So she may end up looking darker then Loa, we shall see.
Kotomi has a tremendous amount of energy. Thus far, I think she has better focus then Shoushuu, she may very well end up a better obedience dog then he. She is an excellent tracker as well!
Congrats! She's gorgeous and looks to be super sweet.
But shame on you for keeping it a secret...you robbed us of the fun of anticipating her arrival. :-P

I agree with this. My Kuma is definitely Akagoma, but he does keep getting more black hairs as he gets older. It used to be only on his mask, but now it is on his neck, back and sides.
Have fun with her!!
I dont know if I missed it...how old is she?
She's gorgeous! She looks like Loa, which of course, is high praise.
She's beautiful! I love her personality as well! Nice Kakashi wristband by the way.
She's a little big to be stuffed in a suit case ;P

She is darker than Loa was at that age, so I'm sure she will end up darker than her.
Congrats one the new pack mate! We are way envious of you.

So Corina, are you officially the forum Shikoku importer? When are you going to take me to get a pup?
Can't believe I missed seeing her by just an hour
I'm so happy for you, it looks like you picked the right pup!
