Hokkaido (Lots of Pictures)

I thought I'd just peek in and give an update on Hokkaido. :) Hopefully I did it right.



We've had him almost two months now and he's settled in just fine. His worst habit at the moment is chasing the cats - totally expected, so I got lucky. :)



He's having a slight problem with housetraining, preferring to hide in the kitchen rather than going to the door, but we are making progress. He loves walks and people. The only socialization issue I have with him is that he wants to play with EVERYONE.



He's not shown any aggression at all towards other dogs, even when one was very clearly aggressive towards him.


Annnd.....ON with the pictures!

    now, Hokkaido is a shiba, right? He looks so big and puffy!

    Does he get eye stains often?

    He is indeed a shiba...even though his name is Hokkaido and we call him Kai for short. :P

    And yes, the staining is a constant problem with him. I try to keep his eyes wiped out but I'm fighting a losing battle. :(

    I asked about his eyes, because our cream had reddish runny eyes whenever she ate anything with chicken or beef (either in kibble or a basted bone) in it. And she'd get greenish goup whenever she ate anything with an excess of grains (wheat, rice, soy, corn, etc).

    Maybe he has a food sensitivity?

    So cute, I love the creamy's! You could almost loose him in the snow!

    Try angels eyes for the tear stains, also foods with brewers yeast or beet pulp add to the tear staining.
