Yeh, thanks for the warning. I have been made aware of that kennel.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to update you. I decided on not making an actual decision until I meet the breeders and see the mom and pops, DUH. So, I will be driving down to Long Island in June to meet the lady that breeds them on the East Coast. A…

Wow, the alaskan husky looks very nice! I'm sorta set on the Tamaskan, but the wait is a 6 months or so, and I am not giving my deposit yet cause I am not 100%

Hah! You're telling me! She spent the good part of an hour today digging down into a woodchuck hole. I couldn't even see her after about 20 minutes. Such amazing diggers. Eventually, as I was standing on top cracking up I was like...."Ok Z…

Just an update, since I have been researching alllll day instead of working....I am really narrowing it down to either a Tamaskan or Canadian Eskimo Dog. Both have pretty long waits, so its not going to happen any time soon either way. Unless I en…

hahaha, I know the look! When I used to live in Miami (South Florida) I never took Zoe off leash, obviously. But when I moved to Vermont I let her start running around slowly, until I gained trust in her, but at first she was like..."Are you …

Someone in my small little town has a Shiba, it is so friggan adorable...and so well behaved when she is on her leash, but the owner said she will take off like a lightning bolt if she lets go!

Brandon....they have been added. I went from 15 or so breeds, to 1, now back to 8 :) A 15 year commitment and bond is nothing to go into without lots and lots and lots and lots thinking and discussing!

Not yet, I'm actually at work!! (Image) heheh

tsukitsune, I like dogs that resemble the original dog, the wolf. I want a dog that loves to be outdoors, not indoors. A large strong dog I can be rough with and wrestle with and run down the side of a mountain with. One that is instinctually a w…

You guys and gals are all awesome! Even though I am looking elseware than a Shikoku, if ya'll like, I will keep updating this with info I find. I really LOVE the look of both the Tamaskin and the NAID, but I have read some scary stuff abo…
-
Thanks for all the input. Even the Shikoku is not registered with the AKC, but I have read so many horror stories about the North American Indian Dog AND the Tamaskan. NAID breeders say the Tamaskan is nothing but an inbred wolf dog, and vice vers…
-
Well, first off, I want to thank everyone for their input. From our discussion today, and from some more research, I have decided to move away from the Shikoku. The dog is beautiful and would make a nice companion if I had a fenced in yard and pl…

:) oh....hehe...i told ya knew the breed! haha.
-
I have never heard of a Tamaskan. Looks like a cool dog as well. Gosh, this list went from being long, to being narrowed to 1 or 2, and is now expanding again!! (Image)
-
I have looked at Karelian Bear Dogs, very amazing animals. They are on my short list of dogs. What is a GSD? I'm sure it's some common breed, but I can't think of what that stands for!
-
haha, Danny pees on everything too! So much deer pee, so little time!
-
Well, my personal belief is that animals should be allowed to be as they would be in the wild, with training and limits of course. And I would never let my dog into the woods unless I was with it. Of course there are inherent risks, but there are …
-
hmm...well it seems that there is a lot of hesitation to people with letting their dogs off the lead. Of course, just like people, dogs are all different, but it seems most of you agree, a Shikoku is not a optimal choice for hiking of a lead, and c…
-
gosh, I want one! Just to give me a "ballpark" idea....are the wait lists longer than a few months? close to a year? more than a year?
-
Aren't Shikoku dogs very similar in their breed to Siberian Huskies? I see those off lead all the time up here in the mountains.
-
Zoe is a great companion during the summer, but the summer here is short. She is too small for winter hiking because of the deep snow and harsh winter weather. She would love a new buddy, especially a big dog, she likes big more anyways.....all th…

I don't mind if the dogs run far when I'm hiking, as long as they return when I call them. Danny, the border I hike with, will always follow a scent, often for 20-30 min, but he will return when called. Would it be impossible to train a Shikoku fr…
