Very cool! Until a few days ago, I had no idea what a hog dog was. Our new pup was being housed with ten of these hog dogs. These dogs are amazing! My son had to give a shot to a pig that was over 200 pounds this evening and it took three teenagers …

Wow, this is all very interesting to me and something we can do since my son is in FFA and is raising chickens and a pig. We still have some pig left over from last year, so it is good to know the dogs can have some. We do give the pork bones (cooke…

Wow, what a stud!

Thank you! We use a lot of these but aren't consistant on the hand motions, which probably confuse Kaji. I also have to say I love your dog names. We've been trying to come up with a good Japanese name for our new dog and can't decide. So far, we've…

@jeffnkazuko, parvovirus is what you want to avoid. We were told to wait two weeks after the last booster shot before taking him out on any outings where there would be unknown dogs. We were even cautioned about walking him outside of our yard since…

Ahhhh, So CUTE!

I don't recall Kaji being especially tired when he was teething, but do remember him being uncomfortable and licking his inner mouth repeatedly. I took one of his regular soft chew toys (former plush) and played around with him for a while, put him …

I thought we did a pretty good job socializing our pup, who is now 6 1/2 months old, but we never took him to the outdoor mall until two weeks ago. He sort of froze there with all the traffic (cars and people), smells and colors. I had to pick him u…

@ Saya, we picked up the young boy today and he adjusted well. He's very sweet and although he barked at us when we got there (he was with several other dogs in the yard who were all barking), he hasn't said anything since we picked him up. After a …

Love the idea and think it will be treasured by the new owners! I was puzzled on how you got Rebecca too. When I lived in Japan, I looked for a kanji for my name, Helen, but the only kanji with 'HE' referred to a body function-gas. Sometimes, it is …

Another friend told me the same thing- that her dog became less tolerant of other dogs as he got older. I would really prefer to wait but a Shiba is being offered to me since the current owner can not take care of him and is keeping him outdoors wit…

This is interesting to me since we may be getting another Shiba soon. My current boy is six months old and seems to like every dog he has encountered. It is more or less the other dogs not liking my boy's aggressive excitment. The Shitzu next door i…

Hinata23- thanks! She sent me an email! I'll look into local AKC shows too ayk! Thanks!

Well, it's sad that there doesn't seem to be a good breeder within my own state, esp given how big it is. I never did hear back from the other breeder I emailed. I know there are a lot of scams regarding purebreds online too. My daughter has emailed…
-
@Hinata23 I know there are great breeders in other states, but I am leary about buying a dog without ever meeting him/her, plus the extra traveling. Once school starts, I won't have the flexibilty to travel freely since I am my son's taxi driver. If…

One thing you have to remember is that Japanese houses are built differently than American houses. They are much smaller and do not have the room to have big dogs running around. The older homes in the country may be wood framed with wood hallways, …

Thanks everyone! I did check the two listed breeders for my state. One is not expecting any litters for a while, and I have not heard back from the other one. I'm sure there are more than two in Texas... I just need to find them!
-
Thanks everyone. I did read a lot about the puppy mills and finding breeders. Both are not puppy mills. If anything, they would fall into the byb category, but byb has such a bad connotation, I hesitate to call them that bc I do think their intentio…

I saw a coloring like him on a breeder's site recently. I believe they called the coat a black sesame. He's beautiful. My two mixes also had big ears. One was a shepard mix, the other was probably a mix with another nihonken. They were both sesame b…
