  • Tain brought Tavi and her pups over to our house, too. They are very confident, calm, happy little pups! And Tavi is a sweetheart.
  • Oh, the bonding question. Umma and Fuchi both seem to have bonded to my wife and I pretty equally. Umma isn’t looking for new people to add to her circle, but if she lets you in you are in forever. And somehow she knows if you have Nihonken and that…
  • Personally I don’t want a dog that doesn’t startle. Like @poeticdragon says, the real key is what happens next. Umma does startle, sometimes dramatically, but she recovers pretty quickly. If it’s a situation she doesn’t like and wants to get away fr…
  • I don’t think any of the US Hokkaido are over 45 pounds, but we’ve also had 15 born this calendar year so we shall see! There was another thread somewhere talking about Hokkaido size and I think it was determined that range was too high. HANA has …
  • @Riverbend Yes, we did keep one! The little red girl - her name is Fuchi. I really need to do some new blog posts. And sure, February (or whenever) sounds great. Umma is definitely on the low end for a Hokkaido female, though I believe her sister …
  • Yes, I believe only 10% of CEA affected dogs have any issues from the disease. The other 90% are perfectly fine, just like a carrier. Umma (carrier, our girl) and Ashi (affected) had five pups (As part of the HANA project under @lindsayt’s guidance)…
  • That sounds like a good idea, does Sunday (October 8th) at forest park around 11am sound like something that would work for anybody? That date/time works for us. What part of Forest Park? The goal isn't necessarily for them to meet face to face fo…
  • Would it make sense to also see if we can do some onleash walks/hikes? I know for Umma that goes a long ways towards her getting comfortable with another dog. Maybe just pick a time and place and whoever can come shows up? We could do a few of those…
  • Welcome Haruki!
  • A dog park environment isn't good for Umma, either. We're available that weekend (10-28/29), but can't host. If we did host (if it was the weekend before) I'd have to request to limit it to Hokkaidos simply because our yard probably couldn't handle …
  • Monthly Hokkaido Ken party!
  • Umma's servants here. We'd be interested, too. The weekend is better for us, too. We could even host (we live on the west side of Beaverton), although our yard might feel tiny with five crazy Hokkaido running around. Also not 100% sure how Umma will…
  • Such an adorable pair!
