Thank you Stefan, I'm sure Akana will grow from cutie to a beautiful female , as her parents are also very nice shikokus. Keep us posted with cute pictures, as they grow so fast...
Thanks @Stiiina, yes with those parents it almost cant go wrong, and then again... As long as she stays this sweet, its all the same to me @Araks Oh Really? I've met his owner at the Winner show in Amsterdam last November. Would be cool if he's around here as well :-)
haha, it certainly is.. House of v/d Egmato is one of the few kennels in Europe, so its not that strange. Also the dogs of other kennels in Europe (There's a small one in Denmark, who recently had a litter, with also Shousei as a father and Sui v/d Egmato as a mother... And one in France I believe) And if I'm not mistaken that's all in Europe.. So, not that strange they are all somewhat related via v/d Egmato. It's fun though such a small "community". Shousei is beatifull! And has a very nice character wich is very important as well.
@the_november_rain : Yeah, its like nothing i've ever seen. Also all 4 legs from the ground, very cool to see :-) @yiasthoj : Thank you! We think so too :-) Also the older she gets the more "greyish" she becomes. @Araks : Hehe, yes I know, i'll try to update a bit more often!
Also, if any of you would like to see more pics, feel free to add me to facebook :-) (Stefan Janssen, The Netherlands, Wormerveer)
@shishiinu : Thanks! Yes she does, I guess/hope she also is! @TaraA : I totally agree, loved her allready when she was a mini-puppy but as she gets older her markings really start to show and she gets more beautifull by day.
Akana looks so beautiful.. But I have seen a lot of pictures of her father, Shousei, so I now the genes are in place
So how has the training with leash been? With Mei, we had no problems with it. After one day, she felt ok with it and did her thing when we where walking. But then again, she did nr1 from time to time inside the house. And it happens still, but now only in the morning when we all wake up and don't get out the door within 5 minutes May be since she still is only 10 weeks And the last week, she has managed to sleep all night, which we are happy about even being used to our MinPin, Nikki, which can sleep for 14 hours easily. Mei do love to make sound, growling and bark, mostly when playing with other dogs. And she have done 2 howls, but then caged in a car..

But wow, Shousei has grown into one handsome dog.

I find it amazing how much the NK resemble each other. After all these years of only seeing shibas and akitas - it's great!
Here she is with her favorite toy
Tired after a long walk
Daydreamer :-)
First time off-leash
Bouce bounce!!
It looks great how they run

Hard to see on this pic (but unfortunately its the best i've got) But here Akana stands on really thin ice..
