  • @brennamwk There is a facebook group called raw shiba inu. You can check that out and ask questions on there if you like. I forgot to mention it in my previous post. I am still hesitant to go fully raw, my female shiba has a sensitive tummy and is d…
  • Hi, We use nationwide pet insurance formally known as vpi pet. I have had it for 8 years and they are great and are reasonable on price. I like that they re inburse on well visits, vaccines, and flea and heartworm prevention, along with accidents…
  • Hi, We have two shiba and a kai ken. The shibas don't like swimming or even walking on wet grass lol. forget going out to potty if its raining. They allow me to hose them down for baths outside. they used to fight it but have learned to tolerate…
  • Thought I would update on this topic. Raiden did pretty well with a belly band, but would still mark at times. He also had extreme humping tendencies. We tried everything in hopes of waiting till he was over a year old to neuter. But we decided to …
  • @WrylyBrindle I remember that poll on the Kai page... It was interesting to see how few people plan or hope to complete CGC testing. We are still planning on testing Raiden in the future once he matures al little more. He still has some puppy tend…
  • This article some what confused me to be honest. I read it as two people that have two different ways of socializing and exposing their dog to things. I didn't see one as anti-socialization because she chose not to put her puppy on the bleachers, th…
  • Just put in my pledge, cant wait for my shiba plush! fingers croosed for a cream shiba and a kai ken.
  • Thanks @T_Dog for your story! Raiden is crate trained for bed time over night and has a puppy area that's gated off for when we arent home since we don't trust leaving him loose with the other dogs yet unsupervised. He has never marked in our house,…
  • Sounds like Raiden! He turned 4 and a half months and started refusing to listen for certain commands that he already learned..very stubborn! He has started listening again somewhat, I'm hoping its a phase like your dog and he will stop marking ever…
  • Those look super cool with the tennis ball and the donut ring! I also make DIY tug toys, but instead of using fleece I use flannel with some stretch in it. Our dogs love them! They hold up really well and can go in the washer! I've made them to sel…
  • Hi, We had our Kai pup flown in to us back in December, it was approximately a 8 hour flight with a lay over. I was super nervous that he would be traumatized. But in the end all turned out fine. He came right out of his crate and ate some food in…
  • I forgot to add one thing, but @sunyata took the words right out of my mouth lol.. your shiba is still too young to know for sure how she will respond to a new dog male or female. Exposure and socialization starting now during puppyhood is essentia…
  • Hi! I own two shibas, a girl who is 8 yrs. old and a boy who is 7 years old who are inseperable and when searching for our third pup we visited with a family who had a kai and a shikoku to get a feel for the breeds. We have been told from multiple s…
  • Your Kai girls look like they have a blast hiking and being outdoors. They are too cute!
  • Raiden is now four months old so I thought I'd give an update! He is now 22 pounds and a huge goofball! Since he came home he has become buddies with his Shiba siblings and enjoys chasing and sometimes kissing the cats. Raiden is a total momma's boy…
  • When we first got our two shibas years ago no one knew about shibas so we got husky, fox, wolf, etc. Now a days shibas are super popular so we no longer have that issue. Well now we have our Kai Ken baby and not even the vet knew what he was, they…
  • People watching at the store.. (Image) I see you brother.. Some of his brindle, he's quite stripey already (Image) A picture of our shibas ..Raiden's big brother and sister. @saya we have two, they are 7 and 8 yrs old. They are awesome dogs
  • Thank you everyone my search shall continue! Got a few more recommended breeders that I plan on looking into.
