  • The coat blow after a litter of pups is usually very significant. Some girls worse than others.Of course they always look their worst when the new families are coming to pick up their pups! Feed her a good quality food, fish oil brush with a soft b…

  • I have done both OFA and Penn-hip on my dogs. I believe Penn hip is a better more "scientific" study to determine the absence of disease. That said Penn hip is much more expensive than OFA, and probably the reason it has not become the gol…

  • I recently posted this on the "shiba side" but my opinion is 95% of shibas can not be trusted off lead. Of the 5% that can I would only do it under limited situations, (fairly secluded areas, not on a busy street!) I have one girl who has …

  • When I have/plan a litter of Shiba pups it's always with the intention of keeping at least one. I sometimes keep people waiting for a final answer until the pups are at least 8 weeks old. We have decided to keep a pup and we also have decided to p…

  • 20 years ago I had Akita's that were related to some of the dogs in Cesar's pedigree(brook-staten dogs). I actually e-mailed and spoke the the people at hoka hey about 6 years ago before getting into Shibas. I seriously was thinking about going b…

  • Shibas usually by six weeks a long time breeder told me the longer they take the thicker they are(a thick ear is good)
    in Ears standing? Comment by Tengai April 2010
  • First off realize every dog is different. My dogs none of which are neutered/spayed at this time run together for the most part, when none of the girls are in season that is. Once a girl is in season she pretty much gets isolated from the boys, and …

  • There is so much info out there about raw feeding. Just google raw dog food and you can read for weeks! I do a combo of premade(oma's) and just going to the supermarket and buying what's on sale. The key is making sure you have the correct ratio of…
    in what does your shiba eat? Comment by Tengai September 2009
  • Raw is best! Yes I used to get crazy in the beginning, measuring, worrying if I was feeding correctly. Now I just feed and don't worry. With pups I also don't measure. Pregnant girls I increase slightly towards the end of gestation, After birth/whil…
    in what does your shiba eat? Comment by Tengai September 2009
  • I feed raw, about 95% of their diet. Not only it is healthier for them, I won't go into the whys, but it also gives them some variety(I switch off between beef, chicken,turket lamb, fish, eggs etc. I'm sure they can get tired of the same tastes giv…

  • Tassie is Tengai's Tea Time Tassie, our first breeding of a dog we bred ourselves. She is full sibling to violet and lilly (that are mentioned in another post) but from an earlier litter. Bear is her littermate brother, who's picture is on my posts…

  • Hi A "correct" sesame is very rare. You should she an even spacing of black throughout the coat. Most seen at shows are not correct. I would guess from the picture that your dog is genetically a sesame, but would be considered a "dirt…

  • Neutered boys can and will breed the girls. No pups will result, but some are still willing and are able to do the physical deed. Phil

  • Moe is now CH River Wind's Black Ice At Tengai, he finished his championship in Harrisburg Pa.on Sat.8/8 and his first time as a "special" on Sunday beat 2 top 10 specials for BOB. We are very proud of this boy!
    in Black/tan boy Comment by Tengai August 2009
  • They actually used shiba pups in the movie not akita pups. Obviously the adult Akita was an Akita, but the pups were Shibas. We were contacted by the trainer to use a litter we had at the time but ours were too young. We were kind of disappointed. …

  • Coming when called, I wish my kids would come down when I call them. My Shibas have a faster more reliable response than the kids! My experience about recall with a shiba. I have 2 that are reliable off lead. The first is Rally titled dog. He went…
