  • Our Kishu doesn't always eat. When I only fed them kibble she would go a day or two without eating, still same amount of energy and activity as normal, then eat 2 or 3 days worth of food. Even now that I'm feeding them Primal, she won't always eat…
  • Both of our dogs are somewhat afraid of the kitchen and one of the bathroom garbage cans. Mainly because of the lid on them. They both have an automatic opening lid that when you wave your hand or something in front of it it opens and then closes …
  • We use to feed Blue Buffalo to Kaia. The owner of the company seems to actually care where the ingredients for the food comes from, and I know when I supplier substituted ingredients in the past he dropped them and recalled the food when he found o…
  • Also, Toshi loves attention and being pet, at times it seems he thinks he's a little lapdog. Kaia on the other hand, will sometimes like to lay down next to you but if you touch her she will make this grunting/moaning noise and give you a dirty loo…
  • I know this is rather late given you started this thread a month ago, does the dog still need a home? One of the trainers where I take my dogs has mentioned recently she's interested in getting a Kishu or an Hokkaido. Ideally a Kishu as she is ver…
  • Lol, that sounds just like Toshi. Although his howls sometimes make people think he's being aggressive when he just wants them to pet him.
  • @Brada1878, dropbox has been a lifesafer. I am in real estate and use a desktop, laptop, and my cell phone for work files. It makes having files available on all 3 devices much easier and I don't worry any more about not having a file I'm looking …
  • Personality wise they aren't very similar. He's very vocal, gets along great with other dogs (this took a few weeks at first he was very jealous of Kaia, even though we had Kaia first and all she wanted to do was play with Toshi), he's very afraid …
  • I just comment on our Kishu's temperament and personality. When we first got her she would hide when anyone came over and was afraid of all other dogs. When I first brought her home from the airport (about 30 minute drive), she stayed in her carri…
  • He came from Poland, since he flew out of Germany they had down he was from Germany. He had the appropriate paperwork when I picked him up, just not his rabies shots yet because he was too young. If I hadn't driven to LA we would still be waiting …
  • We had both of our dogs shipped. Ungud (Toshi) flew from Frankfurt, after being driven there from Poland, and he did amazing. Although, he isn't afraid of anything, he bonded to me right away and seemed very happy when I picked him up at the airpo…
  • Thank you for the suggestion of the Kuranda bed! It's working out great, I even bought the slip cover, Kaia isn't even trying to chew on it at all. It took her about an hour or so of investigating it before she would touch it, but now she lays on …
  • um...good question, Jesse. I'm not sure. It's either him or her unstuffed fox toy, that she takes with her everywhere.
  • The hokka isn't white, but my partner was hoping he was, personally I prefer greyish, sesame or brindle but it's all good she's almost as stubborn as us. We got him from, I can't think of the name of the kennel, their site is hokkaido.pl I know th…
  • Oh, we got a new Hokkaido puppy last week on Monday. In my sleep deprived state a few days ago I typed a big thing about him and picking him up, and then evidently failed to post it.
  • Working on shrinking them right now. They're all over 5 MB, which is too big to be posting online.
  • Yeah I have pics, we just got a new puppy so been busy lately preparing for him and making sure Kaia and him are getting allow. At the moment they are sleeping. Carleen is really a great breeder and really does care about the dogs and the breed. …
  • She is about 10 months now, I live in a gated neighborhood in Las Vegas. She does pretty well now on walks in the residential areas. At first she was really exited, but with taking her on daily walks when she was old enough that all changed. To t…
  • We got our Kishu from Carleen. There weren't any problems, she definitely is concerned and cares where her puppies go. And tries to match them up with their owners from what she can tell of their personalities. She had us send a couple of shirts …
  • I think I'll try the Kuranda Dog Bed. And it looks like they have a guarantee, which is great. Thank you for the suggestions!
  • I use a dog seatbelt harness, http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2755199 ,it's thicker than a regular harness and has padding. It has a hook thing that you attach to a buckled seat belt. Kaia can move around if she wanted, but won…
  • okiron: I think the male puppy coming to the US is going to us. We're in Las Vegas, and have a female Kishu as well.
  • 1) How is she in the house...is she clean? quiet? For the most part she is pretty quiet inside the house, she'll bark if she can't find either of us while she's inside. If she's sleeping in the living room and I get up and go in the office, when sh…
  • tsukitsune: yes, we went through the Kishu breeder in Texas. I was expecting to be on a waiting list, but she had a puppy still available from the very recent litter at that time.
