That looks normal for puppy play. When we adopted our beagle mix at 13 weeks old, he would pull on our shiba's necks like that. They allowed him to do it until he was about 6 months old, then they started correcting him. Eevee is very patient with p…

I see all kinds of people at the shelter, and all kinds of dogs. Dogs will be dogs, no matter their stress level, confidence level or social skill set. People that can't handle a dog being a dog do one of three things: nothing or get nervous and han…

we're in the poconos, two shibas. we aren't much into meetups since one of our four isn't swell with dogs he doens't know. I don't know of one single meet up in the north east PA area though! Maybe you can start one?

I've found yogurt tends to upset our dog's tummies rather than help. Powered pro biotics (reconstituted in water) seem to do the trick without the icky bellies. It's slightly more expensive though...

Is there any kai rescue resource set up yet? For like cross posting dogs like this? I guess this forum would get the most kai related traffic though :)

Geez, poor Sage. Buckley had puked two days prior to the bloody stool, but I didn't connect them until the e-vet asked about recent vomiting. When we made it to the vet his tongue was purplish and his gums very pale. So freaky. And jessica! two d…

Yep, we use a Bad Cuz to distract him outside! http://youtu.be/XTuHPy6Lch8

I just wrote a blog post about this! I don't have kids, I have two friends with small kids that I "use" if they visit. I realized that Petsmart was actually so children-rich that we used to go there only to allow kids to pet our dogs. …

I actually use the Thundershirt for one of my dogs because he gets so worked up about flies. He won't ignore them no matter how much redirection, but with the Thundershirt on he will. I have fly paper in every window (how chic!) to cut down the an…

Where do you find beef gullet, Saya? That would be awesome. I found a whole frozen pound of quail legs at a local Asian grocer for $2. SCORE! Tsuki needs them for her hips and knees. And thanks for the Lew Olsen links!

Shibas are not constant shedders LIES! All lies. I have two shibas and two beagle mixes right now. One of the beagle mixes has "hair type" coat (he's mixed with bichon) and he barely sheds at all. The two shibas and the beagle/shiba mix j…

Whenever we use Rimadyl, I haven't seen any side effects. One of our fosters was on it for six weeks after being hit by a car. No issues. Our Rudy was on it for the entire time he was with us, and he was in rough shape to begin with, but it helped …

I initially had to giggle at the thought of a shiba being a service dog. Dont' we all proclaim that they are aloof, full of themselves, and not very fond of handling? Having said that - I know that my two shiba inu (having lived with me for almost…

handling an abused dog is like handling any dog - it should be done with consideration, patience and respect. Its unfortunate that they are treating him like a disease! Many of the dogs we foster show signs of abuse in many ways (cowering, wincing…

The reason to email/call the breeder is when you get a diagnosis... if it was something that was a result of the breeding or her first 8 weeks, the breeder has to know so she can correct the problem with future litters. I guess it doesn't really say…

Like the Mino shiba - my ego would love to own one of those - but i'm not willing to travel back and forth to Japan to help the preservation effort there, so I'm best left admiring from afar. If someone were to import Hokkaidos, I imagine the bree…

So - as I understand it - Shibas are your top priority?

I have a question about resources... Say you get the breeding pair, and either one can't be bred or doesn't jive with your home/other dogs - what is in place for alternative living situations for the dog? I would assume that the homes with hokkaido…

his owner confirmed - HE WAS FOUND!!! thanks for posting @sukoshi's mom

his rescuer said he still hasn't been found (she just said this on facebook less than 10 minutes ago)

this one looks like Beebe http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/harumisou_suzuhime/GALLERY/show_image_v2.html?id=http%3A%2F%2Fimg2.blogs.yahoo.co.jp%2Fybi%2F1%2Fd7%2F6b%2Fharumisou_suzuhime%2Ffolder%2F1042316%2Fimg_1042316_28509592_4%3F1304199586

they really are neat looking versions of shibas. but be honest - if someone posted one of these on petfinder, then cross posted here saying it needed rescuing - almost everyone would say they were probably not a shiba, but a chow mix. Do the Min…

Super interesting, thank you for taking the time for detail and clarity. See - and this is why I ask - there is so much that I don't understand about truly responsible breeding... there are no black and whites. Even though I have been 'in dogs' all…

they are all beautiful dogs. In your breeding program, what is the goal COI? Is there a benefit to line breeding since the breed is so rare?

1) We feed raw as a supplement to their Acana Ranchlands these days, we were prey model, but with fosters its not as easy. My beagle mix can't handle any raw at all (thanks, universe!) so that was a big factor in my bringing kibble back into the fee…
