So cool! Very shallow of me, but I love the color variation in this litter. It'll be very cool to see how they develop! Congrats :)
-
So sorry to hear this :( Like others have said, it's very clear that she was loved and she was an amazing dog.

I saw the photo of Shakko, and went "does this mean what I think it means?" and I am SO, SO HAPPY that it does. That is absolutely amazing, and I am so glad to hear it! Really interesting way that it came about, too. I'm so happy for all …

@Sangmort That makes a lot of sense! I actually forget that people fly dogs domestically... even with my childhood dog, we always drove everywhere so that's what I'm used to. The recently-imported adult Finnish Lapphunds I knew as a kid often seemed…

Honestly, for active-military, I wouldn't say any of the Nihon Ken. I don't think most of them could do well being constantly shipped around, even if only every couple of years. Especially the four medium-size nihon ken, who all seem to have anxiety…

@cezieg Southeastern Michigan, which aside from some UKC Kai that I saw at shows years ago (and Shiba, of course), seems to be sort of an NK deadzone... which is odd to me!

This is definitely very interesting, because I had kind of come under the impression that Hokkaido were extraordinarily difficult dogs--and like others have said, I'm not sure whether that was the result of not enough information, or because of the …

Happy birthday Amy! Border Collies are very cool dogs. It looks like she had a very nice birthday adventure, too!
-
I'm not sure what to suggest, beyond that we've been facing this with the cat. Last summer we discovered fleas... and she had been on a preventative. Switched types at the vet's suggestion, thought it had worked, but now that it's spring she's itchi…

He's getting so handsome! Sounds like you're making good progress with him, too :)
-
Don't assume too much. The breeder has been trying to contact and the owner hasn't been responding to anybody's emails for the past couple days. Sorry--more poor word choice than assumption. Just meant that it's unfortunate they (the present own…

So sad... Cute pup. It's too bad they didn't include more recent photos (too bad they're trying to rehome her already, too, of course, and that they apparently aren't getting help from whoever her breeder is).
-
She's gorgeous!
-
oh ! when I said dominant it was not about being dominant over the dog to train him but to be dominant enough that the dog does not try and take over control :P some people told me hukies can do that some time and you need to know how to step up wit…
-
Such a cute pup! I always love the stage where pups' ears are mostly up, but the tips still come over a bit. Very cute.
-
Pinto shibas do have more white markings on them. So she might have some of that pinto marking in her gene pool. Or she might be a mix! (From what I've read from other members of the forum who are Shiba experts, the pinto coloration stemmed from pup…

An independent dog, to me, is one that (though it may be very closely bonded to the human) not only can, but also likes to solve problems for itself. It doesn't mean untrainable by any means, but it does influence what methods will work. It also can…
-
So cute! Congrats!

This kind of discussion is pretty high up in my interests right now, because I'm trying to figure out my timeline for getting a dog. And I think it depends a ton on the person, the dog, and the breeder. Some breeders have a much more restrictive vie…
-
Very glad to hear it! :) Good boy Kiba for coming home!
-
They do appear to be good videos! Sorry I wasn't clear, I wasn't so much asking you guys for videos (as I can find them easily enough), but remarking that I should probably see if she'd send me a video of her pup so I can see what was actually happe…
-
@calia I'm not actually using the images. It's simply there are a pack of nihon ken owned by someone and I don't want them all to look uniform. That's why I need to know colors. while most dog breeds are pretty uniform in color and markings, thes…
-
Very interesting thread, and I have absolutely zero doubt that a good-sized cat of any species can take out dogs without much trouble. Like others have mentioned, even little domestic housecats can be tough as nails if cornered, they're quick, flexi…
-
Oh no!!! :( I hope you find him and get him home safe ASAP!
-
I'm glad that I've at least been on the right track in what I've suggested. I mean, I know what worked for me with my dog--but it's been fourteen years since she was a puppy and nearly two since she's been gone, and I don't always remember what I di…

First off, tell your friend to never EVER do this: "thwacking her nose, holding her down until she submits". Any dog with any iota of drive will resist, and likely fight back. You didn't mention if your friend has tried any of the follow…

@Trczina It sounds like your uncle got the perfect dog for him. I'm glad to see some beagle-experience show up :) I'm surprised how little there is on them considering they're a popular breed. Ooh, I did get a suggestion for Icelandic Sheepdog that…

I have an uncle who had a Beagle for years. Stony was... not terribly clingy, though he was reasonably affectionate and liked people. He was fine with other animals, though he had to be taught not to trail them everywhere. Typically they're a breed …

I used a very long web leash (I'm not sure how long it is... at least 12', probably 16' or so... it might be as long as 24', I'm not sure) on my Lapphund when I would go hiking with her. I very, very rarely did any off leash work--though she was an …
