I didn't take the time to present you my second Hokkaido...
( a bit submerged by the wedding preparations...)

After my Niki (red girl), I bring back a young black and tan male called Arashi !
He comes from Tcheck republic and he's born in october 2007 (so 8 monthes old now)

Here a video of my two Ainu ken, playing together...





I will put some other on youtube soon...

    Those are beautiful dogs. Hokkaido are at the top of my list for dogs to own in the future.

    Thanks for sharing!

    (I'm at work... so other videos will come this evening...)

    I think that color proportions in Europe are not representative... The first dogs are white and dark sesam. So we have lots of white, and biggest sesam and black and tan population than in Japan.

    Nevertheless, most of the recent japanese import are red.

    (Niki's father is a black and tan import)

    No. We will sign for the new one in end of july.

    We will have 4000 m² in the middle of the country !

    In the video, it's our garden (in town) 500m², with a big apple tree before (Ameiko loves eating apples...)

    Very pretty pups! Their personality reminds me of some the bolder Shibas we have fostered.
    How much do your pups weigh and how big are they? (It's hard to tell from the pictures the size since looks can be deceiving on camera.)

    Keep the pictures coming.....love the dog spam!
    Thanks for sharing your pictures. : )

    Niki (red) isn't a pupy anymore... she is 2,5 years old, and weigh about 13 kg (without her fur... fur weight about 1 or 1.5 kg more) She is not very tall, and she is thin.

    Arashi (black) weigh 17kg (he is 8 months old), but I think he is a bit fat here...

    Ok Arashi is about 37 lbs and Niki is 26 lbs. That's a nice size without being too large.

    I was trying to tell my vet the Spitzies weigh more in full coat than after they have blown it. He does not believe me that the weight can flex up to 2 lbs given the coat.

    I am going to test this theory out via weighing once mine have fully blown out the coat.

    has your vet seen the amt of fur that comes off just a shiba when they blow coat? its enough to equal weight with a new pup on the scale! its insane!
    and we fostered a border collie spitz mix once who shed an entire shiba in the summer.
    I don't know what I would do without my deshedding blade and grooming tools! I believe all that undercoat could measure up in ounces and pounds!
