  • I saw nothing concerning in the link, but the dogs are too far away and clip is too short to really make an assessment.
  • Ah yes, that is a very nice female Hokkaido who always seems to do well. She's gone against Shiba before for a honbusho in past Aomori exhibitions though in the end I believe the Shiba ended up taking the award. So she is a very nice dog by herself,…
    in Nippo Awards Comment by Ajax April 2018
  • @Crispy, @CrimsonO2, I'm jealous. What Ajax learned to do was adjust the angle that he squats so his pee (mostly) doesn't hit him.
  • Outcrossing is highly controversial and it's acceptance varies greatly based on registry/kennel club. NIPPO would be unlikely to accept any outcrosses while others like the Finnish KC supports outcrossing. In Finland breeders can apply in advance to…
  • Update: Ajax at 2 years old is 51 pounds.
  • Zandrame, Ajax is turning 2 years old tomorrow, and unfortunately he's still doing it. He holds in all his pee for marking and hardly ever dedicatedly pees anymore so ends up pooping on a full bladder and peeing all over himself :(
  • One of the breeders on the forum can probably give better advice, but if Kuma is a Shikoku, I believe hips, knees, and eyes are standard. Also since you have a male, you need to prove to other breeders that your dog is worthy of being a stud. Heath…
  • Take all this as a grain of salt as I have not seen your dog in person like you and your trainer have, but here are my thoughts. At least in regards to the strangers, I find it difficult to believe that you are dealing with true dominance aggress…
  • We live in Aomori, the Northern most prefecture on Honshu. Things are more spread out here than in the South so there aren't many choices. Unfortunately due to work, this is the only show that I'm sure that we can attend. We might be able to go to t…
  • @Kaja Didn't Kaja have a similar problem but her potty spot was the third floor? Did you find a solution? What worked or didn't?
  • Am I the only one with an un-picky glutton who would get fat if we let him? Dry kibble (especially if it belongs to another dog), canned, raw... It's all on the menu. He's not a big fan of large whole fish, but occasionally I'll give him one and aft…
  • Considering it costs over $2000 to buy a pet quality Akita from a pet store here in Japan and I've seen show quality Akita go for $5000 or more I don't think you were ripped off. Keep in mind that show quality Shiba and Akita tend to sell for more t…
  • As for the yard, you'll just have to supervise him there as a puppy, just like you would inside, so he doesn't pick up any bad habits. I think people can be surprised at the amount of destruction a puppy can do when left unattended to a well manicu…
  • I have a feeling that heath, diet, weather play a part in shedding, but for the most part, Ajax doesn't shed much except for his twice a year blows. Then it is he furpocalypse. If you live in an area with 4 defined seasons, you will see two periods …
  • JAB44, are your pup's sire and dam NIPPO registered? I believe that is a requirement.
  • What extra hoops do us NIPPO need to do. I presume use NIPPO papers to register with JKC an export pedigree and then the JKC for an AKC?
  • Our default walk is about 30 mins. We got him at 10 weeks. 5 isn't that bad, we were doing four hours almost immediately. Pro Tip if you get a puppy, try to get him at the start of a long weekend (that's what we did) or take a few days off, or get s…
  • We live in a 800 sq foot town townhouse with a postage stamp size yard. We both work and are gone 8 hours a day, though one us usually comes home at lunch to walk him. He normally gets 3 walks a day, morning, lunch, and evening. He's now 1.5 years o…
  • I'm going to guess the middle, so for example Cu's front end looks good, but his back end looks over angulated.
  • @Crispy I really like his intense red and how his mask has mostly faded. I don't know enough on Kishu head shape to comment on that. Overall I think he looks nicely balanced. I would like to see a little more muscle on him, but he'll gain that with …
