  • I like the harness, too. If anyone knows what brand it is, please fill me in.
  • I thought Sparrow (girl) and Lucien (boy) sounded good
  • Shimura,that is exactly what I was going to do. :) bomb the building, capstar the dogs. Ill give that Zodiac stuff a try. Thanks
  • It is sad that people that dont like our beloved dogs as they are and feel they need to be changed. It is true that they are not the same dogs they once were. No dog is. No dog was originally a dog. It was a wolf. Time will alter all things on its …
  • Do Shibas really need to be any smaller. I dont think a 17 pound female is a very big dog at all. I know lots of our dogs here are way over breed standard, but lots of us with bigger Shibas got them from puppy mill situations, or pet stores, so they…
  • I love the Shiba specifically because they are not cuddly, needy, underfoot dogs. If they were I would not have ever wanted a Shiba. I love the prey/hunting drive. I love going on walks late at night with my dogs, coming across an armadillo and lett…
  • I was wondering, if American breeders were to blend the two types would the breed standard change? Would Americans aim to breed what the rest of the worlds and the country of origins view of an Akita is?Or would it remain the same? And if the standa…
  • I was one of the many people that didnt know there are two Akita types until a few years ago. When I first saw a picture of a Japanese type, wow, was all I could think. I thought THOSE dogs are beautiful! The American type resemble mastiff type dogs…
  • Sachi used to chew on any nails she could get in her mouth easily, I wish she still did it because she is such a b*tch when it comes to nail care. Akira likes to chew on his dew claws, he pulls at them like he is trying to get them off. It doesnt hu…
  • Anyone who sells their puppies to a pet store is a puppy mill, aka commercial breeder. A puppy mill is a place where the dogs are bred for profit, without consideration of temperaments or breed conformation. Some actually do care for them as far as …
  • Other than the rock thing your Shiba sounds like a normal one to me. I'm sure others will have some insight about the rocks, but I have no personal experience with it. Any Shiba will fight against restraint they don't like. Sachi is terrible at the …
  • I get that too just not that bad. I dont have allergies to anything but cats. After I play with the dogs I wash my arms and it will go away quick. It happens to me with any dog saliva. If they havent had a bath in a while and I hold one of them or …
  • I forgot this movie was being made. I just watched a trailor of it. It is very possible that we will see a side effect of it. It sure wont help that they got Richard Gere to play the main role. I just thouht about the possiblity of an indirect side …
  • That little dog isnt any pure nihon ken. The black saddle is a dead give away. They probably adopted the dog and looked up what they thought to be the closest looking. Many people that adopt dogs just give the dog whatever breed name they think rese…
  • I agree with not feeding corn for more reason that just allergies, just tried to make a comparison as far as toxins goes. I dont like corn in my dogs food either.
  • Thanks tsukitsune. Thats a good list. I just dont understand the grape thing. Just like some people give their dogs garlic, my dogs have had grapes with no side effects at all, none whatsoever. I have also given the dogs raw eggs, no problems. I won…
  • The dog , Marley, was definitely a Shiba mix. He did a good job with the food issue, but I bet those people had to work on that for a while. I dont think Shibas are a dog that would roll for anything but a treat or a tummy rub :)
  • I do know about parrots but I have a small tortoise that none of my dogs would ever attack or even try to play with. Sachi is even protective over the little guy. When we adopted Akira she wouldnt let him go near the tortoise. The tortoise came afte…
  • I just looked at those pictures. Oh my god, that is ridiculous.
  • LMAO, I love it. You are right to be bothered. If he does get one ,and the nation knows the, same thing will happen to the Shiba that has happened to every other "celebrity" dog. A ton of stupid ignorant people will say "awe it looks…
  • Have you ever used a carpet powder for fleas? Or any type of carpet powder? My old roommates dog got fleas and spread to all the dogs in the house. He tried some carpet flea powder and Sachi would itch, almost immediately, at any body part that had …
  • I was thinking about suggesting a cat also, like Tsukitsune.
  • OK, pawning a dog off on anyone just because of college is not fair for the dog and is a lame excuse, wait until after college. They ARE alot of work, how much time and attention does a child require?...well a dog should get the same amount of dedic…
  • Older Shibas can get grouchy. Now that we have 3 Shibas in the house, one is 10 weeks old, we get to see how they interact much better. When people see the puppy trying to play with the older 2 they get worried, it looks very aggressive to them. I h…
  • I use 5 dollar walmart pillows for dog beds. With old pillow cases so I can wash them. Its cheap for me if they destroy them and better than lying in the floor fro them.
  • I happened to have a microchip needle, thought id share for anyone that has never seen one. Its about the equivilent to an 8 gauge body piercing needle. I was going to microchip Akira, but im not going to use it. I dont have the heart to stab him. I…
  • Yes, im in Fort Myers. :)
