I did take Kaja to the vet early the next day and yes, she did have a burst anal gland. However in this case it was good it burst on its own as if it hadn't she would've needed them to do it for her which might have been quite uncomfortable and pain…

Thanks, guys! I wasn't about to change Kaja's kibble without any good reason, and I do really like the Acana/Orijen kibbles. Thank you for setting my mind at ease! :)

Shikoku are certainly trainable. People on these forums hunt with them, I think some have tried agility and scent training with them. Of course, temperament matters for this and temperament varies. For my dog and I, we like doing tricks. I try to t…

Awwwwe. Poor Koya. I think there are some people on these forums who will have a more experienced say than me on this matter, I just wanted to say I'm sorry you and your boy are going through this! My question is... are these training methods focuse…

Yar. Kaja is in the picky eater club. Honestly? Timed feeding is a really big helper. When they are starving they will learn that food in front of their face is food they want to eat. And if it's gone after 15 minutes or something until lunch or d…

Oh and I should add I second the comment above about not necessarily finishing all claws in one go. Just a little bit at a time over several attempts will help the experience be less traumatic for the doggo :) I do Kaja's nails every two weeks sin…

Ahhh sorry I would have replied as well but for some reason my brain associated this with a thread I read about dogs eating nail trimmings. Like mine does. Rofllllll. So I thought I'd already read it hahah Shikoku owner, here. Also a corgi chi owne…

Kaja doesn't shed year round, but will blow her coat twice a year. My partner developed allergies to our corgi/chi mix, who sheds year round, but he is absolutely fine with Kaja our Shikoku. When Kaja starts to have hair coming loose in tufts, or …

Anyone able to clarify this? Or are they just too lazy to replace the 2007 document that still has them as LISTED BREED-GROUP II HOUNDS? xD
-
The Shikoku has been on the site for a while now as a 'Listed' breed, how do we tell if it's been accepted to Full Recognition? The breed standard still has it mentioned as a 'Listed' type. I learned that the CKC chip program doesn't offer full ser…

Does anyone know what happened with this? xD

Echoing what Koujichan said above, which is why I asked if you were crating him. You reward them for sitting quietly, and ignore the whines. However if it's something that happens once you leave the house, maybe try crating first so they get used to…
-
How is it that you're being separated from the dog, are you confining him to a crate/is he enclosed, or are you just leaving the house and he whines?
-
Agree, time outs are best. And it sounds like your typical shikoku behaviour, too. Nothing unexpected there :) Meanwhile if the other dog in question is yours or a friend's make sure they have a safe place to go if they need to retreat. It's hard t…
-
Thank you so much for the feedback everyone!! i think it's a great idea to make the upstairs seem more livable by using it to play/eat. I think you're spot on about her thinking it's not really the 'living' space. So we will try to fix that with you…
-
Wait, really? people are scared of Ajax?? Awwww. Is that in the north? Or even In the south are Shikoku not commonly known? Or do they know and are scared anyway? A friends mom heard I had a Shikoku and mistook the idea for me having a fighting dog,…
-
I might try to figure out a way to do that then. Even if it means I need to set up my laptop as a camera when I'm not in the room to watch her haha. But when not doing that we will definitely treat everything else as if she is learning all over aga…
-
@ajax thanks for the reply! I'll definitely do as you say. It confuses me how she knows not to poop on the first or second floor, but thinks the third floor is ok? I suppose because it's out of the way? Because when the baby gate is up, she doesn't…
-
West Siberian laika sounds like a good alternative .... even the Finnish spitz. Perhaps it's as was suggested and they have easy access to a well-tempered shikoku so are just doing what is simplest for them? Hard to say... but I'm full of curiosity …
-
LOL yes I'm so sorry I totally meant the dogs. HAHA sorry Brad! They all looked very big, but like Ajax I think I'm used to my shikoku being smaller.... Kaja has always been very lithe ;P
-
Such a cutie! If I may ask, why did you drive all the way down to the USA to get her? For the fur, you might already do this but I'll offer my advice anyway. I would advise you to give her a good brushing and then give her a bath... a good drying o…
-
Wow what an interesting method, haha. I can understand why your parents would've been happy though. IDK how much it costs other people at their vet, but I was given an estimate of around $400. xDDD Although... Kaja already ripped half of it off her…
-
You did great, imo! TBH if I critique the video at all I'd say the production team could've done a bit better (shots of the dogs off leash/being themselves... cutting out bits and pieces of audio that aren't necessary). But nah, it was very informat…
