My new shiba pup Kenshin!
Hi everyone here are some pics of my new shiba pup "Kenshin" (kenshin has multiple meanings depending on the kanji used for it but it is a male name meaning Loyal, dutiful,humble, diligent and obedient, also heart of the sword. Probably jinxing my self with this. but I like it, It is also a reference to a anime called rourouni kenshin, were the most famous samurai assassin gave up killing adn becomes a wanderer and fights with a reverse blade sword and vowed never to kill again, and is very loyal and protective of his friends but goes into Hitoriki battosai mode (man slayer) when upset and cannot defend his friends). Thats what we say Kenshin is doing when he goes berserk with puppy power. he is a 8 week actually now 9 week old red sesame.
We picked him up on Sunday and in one day he learned his name and how to sit, very smart cookie!(when he feels like listening!) He is very well behaved and has taken to crate training in two days, the first night he howled for one minute every time I crated him, the next day once or twice and since he has not made a sound. He has pretty much housebroken despite a accident today, seemingly to spite me! I gave him a day before introducing him to my cats, they are really getting along well, in fact my cats are being to nice and not picking on him at all, I wish they would teach him some more lessons as he gets to rough at times (just playing just gets really excited) and one of my cats is blind although he is the alpha cat he is really gentle and is being way to nice to Kenshin letting him do whatever, so i am monitoring them. I just gave him his second vax yesterday so I am hoping to take him out in the wide world in a week, for the past week we have been hanging in our enclosed yard of my condo were no dogs really go. He enjoys being the center of attention at my building. He is fawned over by my resident manager of my condo and by my neighbors and he loves it! Check him out he is supercute!!!!!!!!
sorry about all the pics, he is just so cute I cant resist sharing them!!!

try scrolling down and looking in the purple box where it says "this code" ...That's the code you'll want to use, yours are way too long and trying to include images & links, which is way more complicated than you need right now
Welcome!

And, now the important stuff. He's frickin adorable!!!!!! He's quite a little stud muffin. I love how proud he is. He's very cute napping with his head on your arm too.
Take tons of pics, they grow up so fast. *sigh*
Kenshin is adorable. He reminds me a little of Romi's Ninja.
You are going to have soooo much fun with this little guy.
Congrats!!

You will see variances in coat density depending on breeding lines, geographic location, and just individuals.
How old is she again?
Their coats often don't fully fill out until about a year
here are her mom and dad
dad Tatsu
mom yasha
so mabe you guys can tell if she'll be fluffy or not.
Seeing as poor Andrew's thread about HIS new puppy has been hijacked enough, I would encourage you to poke around the forums threads on nutrition and I think you will receive no shortage of great info on probiotics as well as tons of other excellent supplements.
Sorry Andrew. And your puppy still is precious. Please continue to flood us with as many pictures as you can!
Thanks jessica! I already have more pictures I will post on when I have some time! Im such a proud pappa.
Pam: THANKS!! It was great meeting you! It is a shame your moving I'm sure Kenshin would have loved to play with Ryu. I hope your move turns out alright, I would go for Alaska. Thanks! we are really excited as you can tell by how many pics I've taken. Ill definitely have a lot of spam so you can watch him grow!!!!
What possessed you to name a Shiba as "humble"? Man, are you in for a surprise, hehehe ;-)
