I have three Northern Inuit Dogs, and at the time of bringing home my Hokkaido I also had a German Shepherd. My dogs were all well socialised as youngsters (we used to home board and offer daycare from our home), and are very accepting of puppies. …

@PoetikDragon I had Kirin off leash until she was around 1 year old. She was very 'sticky' for those first few months, but the more confident she got, the further she would range. She would still listen, but not always respond to the first call. My …

Just wanted to add a couple things about Hokkaido, though I cannot compare to Kai as I've not had the pleasure of meeting one yet (I hope to meet Dana and Akiko next year). The vocal thing - I find that Kirin is a 'vocal' dog but not in an obnoxiou…

Welcome to the UK Akiko! I hope I get to meet you soon (and Kirin does too)!

Hiya :-SS glad you made it to the NK forum - lots of good research and reading to be done on here, and if anything will put you off owning any of the NK breeds, you'll definitely find it here :)) I know you've already met Kirin more than once, b…

omg I'm so sorry to revive a super old thread but I just realised I'd been tagged and hadn't seen the notifications. I do indeed have a Hokkaido from Kyuden Kitsune, she is from the 2016 Katsura x Satsuki litter and will be 2 years old in August. …

I don't own a Shikoku, so take what I say with a liberal pinch of salt...but all of the incidences have happened at this training class. If he is seeing the training class as a high-stress environment to the point where he is acting in this manner t…

Kirin is now 11 months old, and despite having a moult back in February/March she's just blown her coat again in its entirety! She looks so naked and scruffy! She also had what was either the beginning of a hot spot or a graze from playing with the …

Thank you all for being honest :)) it's definitely the kick up the butt I need to get her in shape, she's on a strict diet at the moment and I will post some more pics when she's looking less like a tubby lump lol! Can someone explain to the total…

I can't really help with the critique part since I don't have enough of a grasp on the standards to really compare... but I'd love for someone to have a go at Kirin and this is great for learning what to look for too. Hokkaido, female, between 9 &a…

Not with Akita, but my female NI suffers with this too and it occasionally comes up on the boys as well. It started off as a discolouration of fur and eventually turned into a hard callus. (Image) For her it's because she likes to lie out on the …

@Snackdog - you need to control the petting at all times. There definitely shouldn't be any 'surprise petting' if someone touches your dog without your consent and without your dog having had the opportunity to check out the person before they dive …

It really makes me sad that people think it's okay to post such nasty and uneducated comments just for upvotes and to make themselves feel important. People wonder why the dog world - and in particular the rarer breed communities - tend to close th…

I have pet insurance for all of my dogs (x5) but I believe it's a lot more common over here in the UK than it is in the USA. My monthly prices are anything from £21 (Hokkaido) to £44 (Northern Inuit) but I have to say that insurance, for me, has al…

She is so cute :x I love the expression in the photo with a stick in her mouth! Kirin (8 months) is still going through the bitey stage, same as with you it's when she hasn't seen me for a while and will jump and bite at hands or grab the back of …

Thank you all for your helpful explanations :) that makes sense and is also fascinating. I did do some reading a couple of years ago on colour genetics but I have to say I got a little confused! Completely unrelated but it makes me wonder if the re…

Kirin is now 8.5 months old and looking more fluffy again! I think I will have to invest in a cool coat for her this summer, despite the UK not having all that hot weather, her coat is so thick! Last weekend Kirin attended her first country show, a…

She is so adorable I want to squish her cheeks :x congratulations on your new baby!

He's SO CUTE :x love his colour too, gorgeous! -also makes grabby hands-

That squishy face in the first photo :x so adorable I just want to kiss those wrinkles!
-
More photo spam :x Kirin is now 7 months old and has started her first season at 7 months to the day! I'm a bit sad about this as our first event is in 2 weeks time and I don't think she's going to be over her season in time to come with Kiba and I…

Kirin (6 months, Hokkaido) is always in whatever room I'm in when we're at home, but this is nothing new as all 5 dogs tend to follow me wherever I am in the house - always very awkward when you're trying to cook food and have to move 5 dogs out of …
