  • @Losech Yeah, Valery and I are going to be watching his weight like eagles. I think pugs can be very cute, but most people seem to think that they're meant to be fat. I found it quite difficult to even find pictures of healthy adults online. @S…
  • Unfortunately, I don't have many more pictures at the moment. None that are particularly good anyway. Shall attempt to rectify that over the next week. Need to get some action shots and try some other things out. He has definitely been good for…
  • His name is officially Moriarty, but we call him Mori. I'd never cared for pugs that much before my girlfriend introduced me to them a few years ago, but they grow on you so quickly.
  • Congratulations to you, Kailee and Kaito! I look forward to seeing some pictures, but I enjoyed following the story so far. I hope you enjoy the pups while you have them, it's always hard to see them go. We've ended up expanding our group a fe…
  • I'm really glad to hear that she has a good chance of recovering. That's a much better start to the year. I do feel that I have to say the really unpopular thing now, and I might be wrong. I completely understand the initial reaction to tell the s…
  • One of the best adverts/marketing campaigns I've seen in a long time. It's great when marketing is actually interesting, rather than just a company hitting you in the face with their product. Thanks!
  • Thank you, I thought it was really quite touching. For some reason, I'm finding that images of 9/11 affect me more now than they did a year or so after the attacks themselves.
  • Parent threads do sound like a good idea, will prevent the main page from getting too cluttered, and those sound like pretty good key categories. For the 'New to NK' (or whatever that section might be), I think the thread 'Nihon Ken Breed Difference…
  • @sunyata Including licenses for having children? Don't allow the stupid to reproduce? We're getting into dangerous territory now :D ...not that I don't think there's something to the idea.
  • It seems to add another layer of factors that you need to consider. For shikokus, I was quoted a price of around 2000 euro, and then however much it would cost to actually get it here (hopefully wouldn't be loads from France). Obviously I'd need t…
  • Okay, thanks again for all the responses, it has been really interesting. I can see that a dog could easily be listed as "not for everyone". Perhaps even "not for most". Just wanted to emphasise again that I wasn't looking to …
  • Just out of interest, could you give an example of a breed and reason? Or maybe just a reason (If it would be too incendiary)? I'm sure some breeds are much harder to have than others, regardless of whether they are your first or not. And I know t…
  • Well, the process doesn't seem too bad, and it's good if it doesn't cost too much, because we will likely be going through it at some point. I think the main thing is that ideally we wanted to get a puppy. My girlfriend's parents have bred dogs fo…
  • Nothing is safe as the first dog it seems. Especially not an NK. I have to say that I came across similar things when I was looking at getting tropical fish. Everything seemed to suggest that whatever fish I wanted, it was probably too complex fo…
  • Yeah, it's probably better getting one there. Might actually be able to see a few in real life before getting one. Luckily Japan is included on the pets travel scheme, so once I get all the stuff done (takes 6 months after the blood tests), they c…
  • Thanks for all the responses, it does give me a bit more hope concerning getting one. I'm expecting it to be a lot of hard work (getting any kind of dog, especially a puppy), which is why I'm researching now, but things saying that you should own o…
  • As a new member, I would say the threads that I would wanted/looked up were: Books you should read NK Temperaments (I knew very little about their differences, this gave me a good load of information) There were plenty of other things I looked at …
