  • Antlers also last a really long time. I like to spread Dogsbutter on them, freeze it a bit, then give it to the dogs. Keeps them busy for a long while.
  • I think you're mistaking what we're trying to get across as us flaming your breeder or calling him a bad person. From what you've written, he seems like a nice guy that loves his dogs that just wants to breed puppies to experience the joys of having…
  • One thing to take note of is although you may have a good relationship with Buddha's breeders, he has pinto markings that aren't standard for the breed and may indicate signs of a byb or mill. Look into his breeders more and make sure they are of a …

  • I am also on the "no dog parks" team with my Shiba. She did great when she was a pup, but quickly showed more signs of stress and discomfort every time we went. We called it quits after she was harassed by a Yorkie and she ended up snappin…
  • @PoetikDragon - How common are cases where a NK that got along well with household dogs when they were pups, grow to become intolerant of them as well? I do hear stories of some Shibas turning on their family members later on and it's a constant dre…
  • Considering that the NK breeds are rare enough as it is, you're not going to find one from a reputable breeder any time soon. I've known people that have waited 3-4 years just for a breeder to choose FOR them. Your Shiba is still really young at a y…
