All concerns are understandable and I know there is a lot to navigate. I am just happy to hear that it is a possible future prospect. In the mean time I have 3 other obedience registries (ASCA, UKC CPDT) to compete in and that is plenty for me.

You all are fantastic. I have never met such an nice informative group of people working the dog community. Being that the Shikoku is such a rare and special breed I was nervous that my inquiry would be pushed aside. I am grateful for the warm welco…

If importing will do the best for the breed then I will seriously consider it. I have never imported before and I am always nervous about purchasing a puppy without seeing it or the parents. Has anyone ever had issues with the puppies they have brou…

First I make sure my shibas have a good recall (for a shiba). I can call Haiku off of almost anything but prey. But I am careful and consistant about when I actually say "come". Its funny actually, last night was agility class for Mashi an…

I totally know what you mean! Saphira fell in the water garden one day and was all muddy and wet. She hid under the coffee table for a while and when she came out she was clean and dry. Amazing!

Haiku, Mashi and Tracker have all taken classes. Mashi and Haiku still take classes. I pulled Tracker after concerns with a former leg injury. Shibas are wonderful agility dogs. Many shibas earn agility titles every year. Mine train at an agility s…
