So uh apparently it's been over a year since I updated this post. I guess it's time to give some updates! Especially because I haven't been on Instagram in months because I'm not commuting to work anymore hahaha. Anyway, as mentioned in my last pos…

Koharu is now 2! I was thinking the other day about how I haven't shared some of my favourite stories of Koharu, and also how I haven't updated in a while haha. Story A: When Koharu was probably around 6 months old, we went up to the boyfriend's f…

This is potentially veering off topic, but I thought that CEA is pretty minor in Hokkaidos, and generally CEA is not a big deal if the dogs only have the mild variety? Someone I know in the rough/smooth collie world mentioned how CEA isn't progressi…

So... here's update on how Koharu is doing! Hopefully I will remember to update more frequently so there's less of this massive wall of text haha. She's 20" tall and at our last vet appointment about 2 weekends ago, she was a good 35 lbs! The v…

I think you're conflating a bunch of things towards what definitely sounds like a boredom or stress behaviour. Not letting her onto the furniture isn't, in her mind, going to make her think she's not allowed to jump and mouth while on walks (never m…

I think @zandrame brings up some really good points here. Every dog is an individual and people have different understandings of what "trainable" is. Personally, I think that every animal is trainable - there are people out there who tra…

I think I say this a lot elsewhere, but I was surprised by how unmotivated Koharu is by food! The first week of being with us, she would work for kibble, but now she doesn't even bother with it haha. She will work for higher value treats inside, lik…

That looks like so much fun!

Good to hear she'll be okay and it's nothing too serious! :)

What a cutie! :x

From what I recall from a discussion on another dog community I frequent, this lawsuit is based off a "study" that won't release the raw data, methodology, etc. Also, the heavy metal levels found were within normal ranges for what's in the…

Happy birthday to Kouji!! He's so cute and looks like a big adorable goofball.

Hahaha I mean, obviously I'm just making assumptions but seeing as she likes to stick close to us when off leash at the dog park, and wants to engage with ALL THE DOGS while on leash, it definitely seems like she feels safer with us. She's grown out…

I wonder a bit if he's going through a fear period? Koharu went through one where she didn't like approaching an intersection a certain way, and would try to fight it, which sounds like the freezing and barking. Ancho is about the right age for one,…

@koujichan Koharu's harness is a Ruffwear Front Range (grey one in more recent pics) while the red one in the camping pics is the Ruffwear Web Master! We had the Global Pet Foods at Kennedy and Hwy 7 order in all our Ruffwear gear for us, they've be…

Koharu just turned 1 year old!! I kept meaning to update this thread more regularly but things got away from me, and I'm rarely at a computer nowadays to type up something longer or to choose pictures to post. It's easier to put up bit sized chunks …

I won't say Koharu is a picky eater, but she's a definite grazing dog who eats when she feels like it. I don't give her timed feedings because I was getting a bit tired of cleaning up bile... I measure out the day's ration every morning and she'll f…

I've been socializing my Shikoku puppy a decent amount - the first few weeks with her, we took her out to a bunch of different places every couple days and introduced new objects, as well as taking her to puppy socialization classes where she got t…
