Oh my goodness what a cutie! Congrats :)

What I don't understand is that I know if I find a better puppy the one I got will not be mentally affected by the home change. So I dont understand why all this hatred I am getting. This decision at this point will not negatively affect the puppy. …

There's nothing wrong with wanting a show quality puppy (as i'm sure most people on this forum can agree). But it is my very strong opinion that you are doing your puppy such a severe disservice taking him home, promising to have him forever (whethe…

I think Genko is the most photogenic dog ever and I want her :) Yay for visiting the Bay! :D

My Kais are simply "Black Shibas" usually accompanied by the "I didn't realize Shibas came in black!" comment. :)

He seems to be "selectively extroverted" which is what I think Suki is. She likes us just fine, she just has her own weird ways of showing it (I.e. Licking random body parts, stepping on us, not wagging her tail, inspecting my work pants t…

Have you been feeding him any new food/treats or did he recently get into anything he shouldn't have? Pumpkin and sweet potato can help with diarrhea, as can pepto bismol (depending on what your vet says about mixing that and Yuki's meds). Try runni…

Awesome job!! You're doing awesome things with him and he seems to really be coming out of his shell now :) I bet he'll really like the nosework class! I did one with Suki and she seemed to like the concept of finding smells to get treats. But the …

We try to exercise ours for about an hour a day if it's not as heavy of a workout (i.e. Walks). If it's some sprinting or pretty heavy chasing game with the two of them, about 20-45 minutes depending on how long they last. We currently live in a two…

Interesting! How old are the three of them now? But maybe just playdates with Aura then. Lol. But I'd definitely just keep going the route of going to puppy classes and exchanging info with owners so you can do your own playdates with them. But yeah…
-
Yes we're also in the area :) @emi802 You should set up some playdates with Dream and Aura! Also, I was the same way as you when we first started taking Suki to the dog park (regarding not wanting to handle other people's dogs). But handling someo…

I've had success with Earthborn Meadow Feast and Coastal Catch (but CC is also fish); Orijen Regional Reds; Acana Grasslands; Taste of the Wild High Prairie, Southwest Canyon, Sierra Mountain, and Wetland Fowl (however one dog has a chicken allergy …

Grayson and Takeo seem to make a great team! You definitely get some fantastic pictures of them :) I especially like the first picture where Grayson is sticking his tongue out at Takeo. It made me chuckle :P
-
@Allison They tend to do that to you! ;) Luckily I've got a couple of Kai to keep me busy, but maybe sometime in the more distant future I'll look into a Shikoku puppy. I love the ones I've met :)
-
Pinto shibas do have more white markings on them. So she might have some of that pinto marking in her gene pool. Or she might be a mix! (From what I've read from other members of the forum who are Shiba experts, the pinto coloration stemmed from pup…
-
Such cute pictures! I don't blame you for falling in love with her. I've seen so many Shikoku pictures lately that I'm falling more in love with them myself ;)
-
I would suggest that before a strange dog enter your house, that you go on a short walk with Kiba, your friend and the new dog. That way they can meet in a neutral place and Kiba can get to know this dog's movements and smells before going home. It …

Yuki is such a handsome guy and that first puppy picture made me melt!
-
She is so so cute! Great pictures of her :)
-
How cute! Congrats :)

-There are many urban Kai- Nero walks in downtown Tokyo every day- that's one of the Biggest of Big Cities! and he's no puppy. Very few Kai are hiked around in the open woods daily, most are at least suburban. Many other NK live urban lives- ask aro…

@emi802 I'm glad it's working out so far! We have Suki on a raw breakfast, kibble dinner diet also since she used to have issues from throwing up on an empty stomach in the morning. We also feed both her and Luna a handful of kibble when they get in…
-
Even with raw food, dogs can get picky. It's the same idea with kibble, if you feed him raw for all of his meals every day, then it becomes "normal" to him which might mean boring. So this is just a warning that he might do fine on it for …
