thanks but im just an amateur and i cant take credit for them all. my gf took all the dog pics while i was filming with the vid cam. i took the rest of the shots though with a macro lens. im still trying to get the hang of photography! so much to try and learn and i hope to take a course when time permits.
oh i should also name the dogs in the pics. katja kindly told me who was who.
pic 1 - kimi pic 2 - mike pic 3 - kuma pic 4 - aiko and kuma pic 5 - aiko and kuma pic 6 - yana pic 7- mike pic 8 - sumi
haha the pups were back in their kennel area already. we were waiting for katja to print out the contracts when i noticed the bugs in the grass so i decided to practice with my macro. it kinda reminded me of the good old days when i was a kid and was able to see and catch grasshoppers and other interesting bugs out in the park. nowadays things like that arent really around in the city anymore, except for the ones u dont want to see! nature is slowly dying
well according to katja it is, unless i misread her email. from what i remember the blacker of the black sesames were kuma and kimi. i was hoping to get a litter from that pair.
What a handsome boy he's grown into. Thanks for the recent pics. Great quality too, they are so crisp and clear...wonderful!
I see Mike and Yana are in the other pen.
* Oh, nevermind I just saw that you named who was who in the photos...but what about the other dog in with Aiko and Kuma? I just see the back of her head.
i agree! mike is really a good looking dog, he has a nice build too.
im not sure who the dog is in the pic where u can only see the back of its head.
yep, thats my LR badge. its not a defender though those are really cool LR vehicles though. i think id have to import one if its even allowed here in canada. my truck is a range rover sport s/c, it actually does quite well off road and is based off the LR3 platform. i did an LR off road course in montreal and have taken mine on an off road drive that was held by my local dealership. lots of fun and i cant wait to take my shikoku with me in the future.
Yeah, Kuma has definitely changed A LOT. He looks to have "slendered" out more. & he has such a sweet face.
Terence, have you decided on which breeding pair you wanted to go with? I'd personally be happy with any of them [ they're all so beautiful ] Mike or Kuma, undeniably, but paired with Kimi or Aiko would be amazing [ Kimi & Aiko are definitely my favs of Katja's girls ] & I really love both Kimi & Kuma's masks.~
i really want to have a black/grey colored pup as little red as possible. my shiba is already red so id like a completely different color. i think kimi and kuma would be a great pair, but mike would also be an excellent father. he is such a good looking dog.
I am jealous too! I have a dark female on order from Katja that will be by her Kuma - dam is yet to be determined as the last time Aiko and Kuma did not mate when given the opportunity. Hopefully next time! Because I have a light red male (my Kuma), I wanted a dark female who was completely unrelated to my Kuma (Mike and my Kuma are related).
Yeah, I was sorry to here that Kris. When I exchanged E-Mails with Katja last time about her breeding program, I mentioned that I knew you were waiting on one & she said there was no breeding with Aiko. I felt bad
So maybe....Kuma & Kimi I hope you get your pup soon so I can see what Kuma Babies look like ;D ~

Thanks for posting. And I love the picture of the pup rolling in the leaves.
on a lighter note, i cant wait to get my shikoku!

anyway, on to the real important questions.... Is that your Land Rover badge? Do you have a defender or series truck?

I see Mike and Yana are in the other pen.
Is that Kimiko and Mura (can't tell, I just see the back of somebody's head, lol) in with Kuma?

Kuma with Kimi or Aiko, or Mike with Kimi or Aiko would be SO awesome
I'm so jealous you got to see them in person
So maybe....Kuma & Kimi
