I wasn't going to post, but after the last several... thought I would. Don't mean to be rude, and hopefully I don't come across that way because I really am not trying to be, but it sounds like Roshaad, you are looking for a breed that would match …

I used to go hiking/backpacking almost every weekend, and I try not to go during high tick season and in brush even though I use frontline on my girls. (Ticks give me the heebee jeebees.) I do a version of what WrylyBrindle does with the flea comb…

Just an update on Kimi. I had her checked out shortly after posting the initial post. Everything came back normal, even the bloodwork. I have been giving her Traumeel, but honestly don't think that has done much. She has a big ortho bed that I t…

I'm so excited I'm going! Though without my 2 girls (too much of a trip and they have behaviour issues).
-
Thanks for starting the discussion. I've been wondering about some of the same issues myself even though I have a different NK. ...I never thought about using traumeel on dogs, but have used the cream form myself. ...If anyone knows roughly how l…

I use the frontline liquid. Works for us. I've seen dead ticks in one dog's bed who is prone to getting them or live ticks on her, but never one imbedded in her skin. I do have the handy tick removal tool just in case though. And I check both do…

Well, let's see... I have 2 kishus. Yuki's been called a white german shepherd and a wolf. If Kimi's not with her, Kimi gets called a wolf, coyote, german shepherd, shiba and keeshond... I even had one person think she was a hyena after Kimi barke…

Well, apparently I needed to learn how to attach pics correctly. (I'm not that compute savvy.) Kimi (Image) and Yuki

I am not sure if you found your dog, but there's one on petfinder. http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/25325626 Hope you find her.

Thanks for all the input! Took me a couple of weeks to read through. Sounds like I need to keep up with the dog's training/asking her to sit, down, whatever, and not stop when the guest is over visiting. And when I do, I need to put her in a kenn…

Nowadays, it's the garden hose and sprinkler--if it's left out--and the house. Not to mention leashes or the tether--if she's left on them unsupervised. She occassionally has a pica habit, so I'll see her pick up rocks and try to naw on them. She…

Brada--as always, thanks for the insightful info. Hi, Kishu-ken, Welcome to the forum. Glad to hear that you're kishu is not as much of a handful as mine. But I think it has to do with when I got her. I do not let Kimi off leash. Her hunting in…

I keep threatening to trade my dog in for a monkey and two chickens and maybe a goat (not seriously of course). Kimi hated the leash, and she didn't like anything on her. One time I left her harness on her and it was in pieces. Another time she m…

Well, we went out to the doggie park this past weekend. It was more positive than I thought it would be. :) Both days, we went early in the morning. First day, no one else was there, so Kimi got to run around and sniff where the wild rabbits wer…
-
I never thought about it like that--that she is trying to correct their behavior.
-
Sorry for the short explanation/question earlier. I was in a rush, but wanted to get it out there... Thanks! I'll have to try the water bombs since she's not getting it when I am trying to get her attention (to redirect her). Sometimes she's too…

I got Kimi from a friend of the family during her fear period. *sigh* She is an only dog. Had I gotten her earlier, she probably would have been okay with other dogs being around the house... since most of her brothers and sisters went to homes…
-
I don't know if this will help you, but your dog sounds like my Kishu... Kimi. She's my neurotic, psychotic dog--less now than before--who is almost 2. I have had her for almost 1 year. Our first trip to the vet was using a harness, two leashes h…

Well, I guess I should answer some questions. Yes, the color is rare for this breed. I got her from a friend of the family. I took her in because I was looking for a dog and she was the last in her litter. My guess is because she was not white o…

Thanks for all the info. She does go hiking/snowshoeing/and sometimes cross country skiing with me (clipped to a makeshift device attached to me) during the weekends, but she does get her energy back during the middle of the week. As her …
