So after doing a few things @WrylyBrindle suggested, I just want to update that there's been a lot of great improvement in Nanook! We also realized Nanook was this way a lot when my husband was very obviously stress and working on being calm around …
-
Yes, thank you! That is so sweet! PM sent! I know Nanook doesn't dislike Boba because he actively seeks him out to sleep next to or to play with. Nanook will lick in Boba's mouth very often and he will lick Boba like 20 minutes straight sometimes. B…

@Ajax I agree its unfair, but to predict it is rather hard. Sometimes, they go without incident for days and some days there's multiple incidences. The time out isn't punishment so much as it is to calm down his elevated energy. If I leave him just …

This may sound crazy, but our shiba was showing hind end weakness for a year after a slight injury. We tried everything and got multiple vet opinions, but everything looked great and they couldn't tell what had been injured and why it the symptoms k…

I really need to catch up on Rebels! I finished season 2 and now I'm just waiting for all of season three to get online! I can't watch your video because spoilers but I will soon. We also considered Bodhi for a while, but ditched it because of the a…

Its funny how the appearance of a dog also plays a role! Nanook is also mistaken for a girl but only because people think Alaskan Klee Kais look relatively feminine. Must be the pointed nose and big round eyes, it gives their face a sweet demeanor. …
-
I really only mind if Americans view them as feminine, just because Kuma is always mistaken as feminine. Romance language names always seem to end in As for girls and I didn't think of that, but it quite suites him anyway. Nanook just confuses peopl…
-
Hopefully this doesn't imprint on Ajax. I know we've had some close calls ourselves with owners lying to us about their dog's behaviors (I'm a dog sitter) and more. For a while after our shiba got picked up by his scruff by a mastiff, he was very un…

Our dogs enjoy still bodies of water like lakes and ponds but both our AKK and Shiba will not go deeper than their elbows and will freak out if they do. I think they have a fear of drowning like me! I tend to stay in shallow water myself. We live ne…

My friend had some really nice sturdy fabric glue and we actually glued it on top of an existing thin flexible fridge magnet we got in the mail from some company. Now it holds all of our dogs appointments on the fridge haha
-
We turned our patches into cute fridge magnets! We love them! We even gave an extra Shikoku one to Peggy. They really are the cutest thing.
-
Its good to know some vegetables work out for some people. But, your dog may not like vegetables at all as treats. I know Kuma, our shiba boy, just turns his nose up while Nanook, our klee kai boy, just shreds them up for fun and leaves a mess witho…

I'm a DogVacay dog sitter and dog watcher, I use the site myself as well! In order for me to trust someone, I tend to look at the reviews, their pictures, their descriptions and their profile as whole. I also like to visit the home my dogs will be a…

@MBeats I'd love to hear it if you don't mind! Its funny how some people, or dogs, fall into our life at just the right time and they become so important to us.
-
@Crispy I agree! Extremely kind people to take the time out of their busy schedules to meet with us and talk about the breed.
-
@CrimsonO2 Yes! I saw the litter announcement on the Kyoshi facebook page. Very excited to see the Kyoshi x Kyoshi pairing and how it will turn out. They're going to be great! Ah yes, the teenage years as I like to think of them. Some dogs are total…
-
@MBeats Is Peggy where you got your first one?
-
@jigzzor Oh you misunderstand! We already have 2 dogs! Kuma was a year old in June, Nanook is over 8 months old, and now we want to add our third. They are all relatively young and have their whole lives ahead of them to grow together and learn toge…
-
Yeah we talked about that. It really depends on how many she has as she's known to have large litters.
-
@WrylyBrindle I definitely agree! All of the pups we met were very awesome dogs that would work great with our active lifestyle. Peggy was super nice! We didn't get to meet her husband unfortunately. But, their home in NC is also very beautiful! I k…

@TreySmith417 That link is very informative! Thank you! Most dogs on a raw diet are all much larger than my dogs. I wish I knew more people with small dogs that fed raw, but I just don't see it very often. A lot of the FAQs on that site have answere…
-
@emi802 The reason I'm concerned with weight is only because other dogs who throw their weight on Kuma have hurt his back leg before. My only concern with height is that Kuma and Nanook are little strategists. They love to go in between a taller dog…
-
@Crispy Apparently her AKK like her Beaucerons too! They seem like real sweet guys. If you do get one hopefully you show it off in the off topic section! I'd love to see how it goes!
-
@Crispy Very interesting! I don't really know much about Kishus but I showed someone from the AKK owners page your instagram with the Beaucerons because they too have Beaucerons and love the breed. Your kishus are quite the bunch. I'm glad TK is goo…
-
@GrayJJ Well that's great! I'm really becoming more confident about my decision then to want to give this breed a chance as our third dog to round out our pack. We aren't making any commitments yet, but I love how helpful you guys are being.
-
@GrayJJ I understand! For instance, Kuma hates any dog that's XL. We had a puppy Great Dane over the house who was 113 lbs and Kuma was not a fan. I think the size intimidated him and instead of being afraid he went on the defensive. Dogs don't get …
-
@GrayJJ Very true. Kuma and Nanook both have time outs in their crates when things get heated and I will be doing the same for any future dogs. Though to me Grayson and Takeo seem to get along really well! Have you had any particular issues?
-
@Caila Very true! I imagine the AKK and the Shikoku will get on very well with each other. With Nanook and Kuma, I've been socializing them a lot and generally they do well. Nanook as much as I love him, he can be a butthole and Kuma tolerates it. N…
-
@Calia Wow! So similar! For a second I couldn't tell them apart! How heavy is your Shiba? Is your Shikoku male or female as well? I know I want a male, and they definitely have a lot of size difference depending on their gender.
