  • Hey all, I'm gonna commit a pseudo-faux pas and resurrect this thread to ask ANOTHER question that came up for me recently. I was lucky to meet up with a Shikoku owner in my general area who made a comment that made sense to me but that I hadn't he…
  • Thank you. We were hoping to get the chance to visit アレヤリス while in California, and I'm really glad we were able to set something up! Again, we are also very fortunate to have the guidance and help from the community on this forum, and the othe…
  • Thank you everyone with the help so far. Already started reading "Training the Hard to Train Dog". We also managed to get a hold of Corina Gonzalez, and will be visiting her Kennel, and have been lucky enough to set up a few potential meet…
  • Thank you WrylyBrindle. I've been up and down the North American Shikoku Club Site, but will definitely take a look into the book.
  • Okay, last questions... maybe. You guys have been a great resource, probably better than I could ask for, but along with some of the basic websites, are there any resources you guys recommend specifically on raising Shikoku and Shikoku care? I found…
  • As always, thank you for the insight everyone!
  • Thank you for the answers, and Jigzzor, those photos are great! @Jigzorr, do you find the relatively stable weather (relative to the East Coast) plays much of a factor?
  • Another couple of questions, assuming people are still willing to answer :D I've read about how Shikokus blow coat once or twice a year, and that they are dogs that should not be bathed too often, but how is their shedding outside of blowing coat…
  • Hey Jigzzor, thank you for the input. We may be waiting till we move to the West Coast before we get a dog. If we do get a dog before then, it would likely be an adult dog, but a lot of this will depend on what we learn, both from this forum, and fi…
  • Sounds like a positive experience so far, thank you. That is interesting about the adults being less tolerant. You tend to think of wanting to socialize a dog early so that it is more tolerant as an adult. I feel like this is an area where I have he…
  • Another question, which I have seen a bit about already, but would like to hear peoples' opinions; how much socialization do you give your Shikoku puppies? I've read a lot about their natural Dog Aggression, and it sounds like there is quiet a range…
  • Thank you very much for the invitation. We are actually coming out to California in mid-September, and spending half the time in LA, the other half in the bay area. We were actually hoping to visit Airreyalis while we were in SoCal, but have not b…
  • Thank you for the information, especially regarding raising adult Shikoku. We have no pets right now, so I guess that will be one less problem in the future. I'm not on Instagram, but the Fiance is. I guess we will have to look into that website. …
  • Thank you to both of you for all the input! I'm very glad I joined this forum, and am very thankful for all the insight! @Jigzzor: Hope you are enjoying the west coast! I grew up in the Bay Area, and when we are done with our training, my Fiance an…
  • And walks are about 30-45 minutes? And I assume you had him since he was a puppy? Given our schedules, we were thinking we may have to start with an adult, since even 5 hours is a long time to leave a puppy alone.
  • @Calia and Jig: I actually live in the Bronx right now, in a one bedroom, about 1000 square feet. We will probably be here for the next three years, then be able to move into a larger space. @Jig: Thank you so much for the answers. I really apprec…
  • Thank you! Will do.
