Yup. Yupyupyup.

Was going to ask if someone could take pictures of any Taiwan Dogs that might be present, but it doesn't look like any have entered! This was supposed to be a banner year for the Taiwan Dogs, coming up on the end of their 10-year provisional status/…

Some statistics also from the Michigan State University Endocrinology Center, which collects stats by breed as well: http://www.animalhealth.msu.edu/Sections/Endocrinology/ http://www.animalhealth.msu.edu/Sections/Endocrinology/WEBCD.ENDO.REF.001.pd…

I'm a daily dog park goer here w/ both the Shiba and Basenji. That said, my definition of an acceptable "dog park" is a multi-acre, often multi-function expanse with no fences and lots of room to move freely. We don't go to parks with the…

The US and Canada are not members. That is correct. And that's why the JA and AA are not split in those two countries, while they are everywhere else. the Uk is not part of the FCI either but of course we have the 2 breeds although the JA is curre…

Okay, big questions, but you guys can handle them. ;) I have a lot of little, basic questions too, just trying to pick through the online material to understand how it works, since I don't think I know anyone who's participated in FCI events. I mis…

Are they able to go around and knock, door-to-door, at neighbors' homes? If she was in a secured, kenneled backyard, and was taken so quickly, I would suspect an informant... Someone who had visual access to the layout and contents of the yard (per…

Oh wow. Human-canine bond FTW. Glad you were able to respond so quickly to a super scary situation!

The "emotion" you see in this thread, @Titus, is reflective of the collective passion for the forum's chosen breeds. The fact that you don't want to acknowledge more "problems" when they are essential considerations for being a r…

I loooove Ridgebacks. I do think that's a smart breed suggestion, @WrylyBrindle. Meanwhile...@ curlytails: Well, I have been told by some that they had friends/acquaintances that had all sorts of cold weather dogs that they were able to adjust to …

I actually think you might be better off with one of the other breeds you mentioned, but regardless, good luck with finding your dog! You know, I'm going to highlight and second this -- since you did ask us to tell you in your intro if we felt the …

I mean, it's just like us: we'd be super happy if it were 70 with no wind chill all the time, but we manage in extremes the same way our dogs can. Right, but it's not completely fair to compare how humans manage and how dogs manage. Humans can swea…

I have seen Japanese Akitas in Taiwan, where I am now. There are supposedly a few "famous" kennels here, and they do participate regularly in Japanese shows, importing, etc. However, I cannot vouch for how ethically bred they are. I rare…

Wouldn't mind seeing his "summer cut" too. ;) I know it's not done in N. America, but I'm fascinated by how it's actually a really common thing on the other side of the Pacific.

@violet_in_seville The number and reliability of Yelp reviews vary by region. SF Bay Area is heavily trafficked by Yelpers; most vets have a critical mass of reviews by which one can make a more informed opinion. Vet reviews are notoriously fickle t…

Woohoo! What a happy looking guy. He's gonna LOVE his new life in your neck of the woods.

@dennis_sly "Cheap" only because Shibas are common in Taiwan, and it doesn't actually cost that much to vaccinate and microchip the puppy, load him into a crate and send him overseas. I know because I've done it before. And have paid plent…
-
Really interesting! I like the action shot and the one where you can actually see the handler. Credit where credit is due? Where did these come from?
-
I feel like the appeal of the Basenjis peaked perhaps in the 70s... No, they were never that popular though there was a Basenji movie called Good-bye, My Lady from the late 1950s -- NOT what anyone would call a blockbuster, but had enough star power…

Want... acres... for so many reasons. But impossible until I move out of the SF Bay Area. And/or win that multi-million dollar book contract. Oh wait, that never happens in my circles. Sigh.

Absolutely gorgeous dogs and great photos. I'm very intrigued by Thai Ridgebacks. They've got an overall shape and alertness to expression that I find very attractive.

Count me as another forum member who'd love to come, but is currently in whoknowswhereland. I'd love to be there, but a lot of things are in transition at the moment. Besides, as I said on the Shiba side, Bowdu is having issues lately with the fact …
