They are such a good looking breed!  I love the pic with the puppy and the black and tan one.  So adorable!  Im sure you're making a lot of people on this forum very jealous of you!!! ## MommyofNiko · 2007-12-30T13:29:26.000Z They look like very big shiba's!!  I love the white ones! ## ktrebor · 2008-01-02T17:22:19.000Z Time for new pictures :) ## jmaxwell · 2008-01-02T17:49:56.000Z Ok bragging time! I am now offically on Roberts waiting list for a male Hokkaido puppy for late 2008/early 2009 (hopefully)! I am so excited as this breed is amazing and even people in Japan have a hard time finding. My pack will be complete (for then anyways)! Its all of Brads fault for having an awesome looking pack that make me want more and more! Robert--by the way I love your new pictures especially the hat picture! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-01-02T18:08:50.000Z WOW! Jamie, I think that makes you famous or something! Congrats - I have to admit, I'm a little envious! (tho we have way more than enough dogs) ## jmaxwell · 2008-01-02T18:12:13.000Z Im sure as soon as Kona gets to be about 7 months or so (full grown maybe sooner) your going to give in get one. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-01-02T19:31:31.000Z hehe.... who knows! I can tell you this tho, the Taos county limit is 8 dogs per home, so we have to be pretty selective now - and we are thinking of breeding Kais and/or Shikoku. So that makes it kinda tricky. We can apply for a Kennel license tho, and then there is no issues. ## Evan · 2008-01-03T11:40:36.000Z Those pictures are amazing I love to Black and Tan one. brada1878 I hope you do start breeding Shikoku's AND Kai's! With more breeders the Kai Ken could be entered into the AKC miscellaneous class within the decade, and the Shikoku into the FSS program. ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-01-03T17:51:57.000Z Okay, I am sure this has been discussed many many times. But is the shikoku acknowledged at all by the akc? ## ktrebor · 2008-02-17T07:20:04.000Z It is tradition that each year DOKENHO organistation is prepraing a Hokkaido inu callendar, here some pictures of it: ## ktrebor · 2008-02-17T07:24:53.000Z And article about hokkaido inu from japanese dog magazine: ## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-17T11:23:06.000Z Whats the article say?? ## ktrebor · 2008-02-17T11:34:42.000Z I don't have idea ## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-17T12:04:54.000Z LMAO Hopefully it is good! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-02-17T13:44:53.000Z Congrats again on the article - looks like it was very nice! The calendar looks really cool - do they sell them? ## sujewel · 2008-02-17T20:11:05.000Z Beautiful pictures!!!! I absolutely LOVE the white ones. ## ktrebor · 2008-03-04T08:31:24.000Z Time for more pictures from Japan. At first hokkaido inu temperament tests, here a dog without proper temperament:   As you can see, dog is totally not interested, or even he is affraid. A young hokkaido inu female    A pair of brindle hokkaido inu, very rare indeed!     Hokkaido with welsh corgi   Another show, this time puppies comparision   I didn't know that even puppies are participating in temperament tests.      Another japanese publication about hokkaido inu, my friend has told me that this yearly publication with news about breed.    Main stud dogs are described  Dog breed standard is explained.   Friend of us with her dog - Rikki, this flag is a symbol od dog show winner. ## scarlet · 2008-03-04T10:20:02.000Z Thanks for sharing.  The puppies are beautiful, wish I could have 5 or 6 myself. ## _dlroberts · 2008-03-04T11:33:38.000Z I keep wanting them to be bigger. Somehow in my head the Hokkaido is a big bad a$$ dog. That poor puppy wants nothing to do with that bear. At least they gave it a bear cub for the test and not the six hundred pound monster the full size dogs get. Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing! ## MommyofNiko · 2008-03-04T12:56:57.000Z Are there ANY in the U.S.? They are amazing! ## ktrebor · 2008-03-04T13:37:13.000Z A few, at least 2 as far as I know. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-03-04T14:30:32.000Z I love it when you post pics, they are always so interesting! Those brindle pups are really cool looking, I am becoming brindle obsesed! Kon'a brindleing seems to have slowed down. Two Hokkaido in the USA? You need to get thim on this forum man! lol! ## ktrebor · 2008-03-04T14:53:35.000Z I don't know this person directly, I know about him from japanese webpage - Bob Simmons from Boulder, Colorado, a little about him: http://www.zoominfo.com/people/Simmons\_Bob\_117763702.aspx he is owner of two imported from Japan hokkaido inu. ## Ewaka · 2008-05-09T09:30:04.000Z hi, ktrebor, I`ve read all this topic, right now, and there are at least three hokkaidos (besides Kangai, of course :) ) imported from Japan to US. In fact, two of them are in Bob Simmons`s hands - red male RAMAT and red female - PIRKA. But in the same Year - 2000 was a black and tan male HEPER imported to Middleton in Wisconsin... I am sure, that like in Europe - also in US there are living some Japanese, who brought their hokkas from Japan - with them as a home pets, not for breeding just fot having thier favorite breed :) ## ktrebor · 2008-06-13T13:50:00.000Z Recently Hokkaido inu become famous in Japan. A Hokkaido inu male is a star of Otosan Soft Bank comercials :) ---- --- --- --- --- This one you should watch - Hokkaido inu signing Christmas song :) ## jmaxwell · 2008-06-13T14:30:47.000Z Robert thanks for sharing those videos with us! I cannot believe in a few months Kangai is going to be that big! Is white Hokkaidos in Japan the most popular?? ## scarlet · 2008-06-13T14:40:41.000Z I think the white is my favorite color for this breed. ## ktrebor · 2008-06-13T14:40:42.000Z Nope, only about 25% of hokkaido inu population is white. --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
