Niko loves being chased Baby mastiff Sasha actually wandered from my side to check out the boxer. She LOVES boxers, raised for 1 1/2 years with boxers. Of course...where Sasha always is, at my side. Water break Niko running full speed, but no one is paying attention...

I love Niko and Sasha!

That "baby" mastiff is great. Someone should really take that pinch collar off of the Rottie while he is playing. Niko doesn't think she is bigger, she KNOWS she is bigger.

Oh wow... Niko looks so TINY compared to everyone else! :) But I am sure she feels just as big, if not bigger!

## MommyofNiko · 2008-09-17T12:28:09.000Z
Yeah, all 17lbs of her will kick all their butt! Umm...dont get me started on the collar on the Rott. That is a 'friend' on mine's dog (Niko's boyfriend) and they NEVER take that collar off and he is the most gentle and obedient dog I know...from fear training....

And THAT is why shibas are awesome (in spite of all there devilry)

## tobyshiba · 2008-09-17T13:06:35.000Z
Haha, sounds like Toby when he's in with the big guys! Toby thinks he's the largest, most toughest doggie in the park when he plays with the big dogs. I think thats just a quirk of the Shiba, really. They think they're awesome all the time.

You gotta love that Shibatude. I think they think that if they believe they're bigger than the others, the others will believe it too. Niko looks so happy running with dogs "her size". I'm sure she thinks she's a tad bigger than the Mastiff :-) *sighs at the Mastiff*

How old is Niko? She looks like she had a WONDERFUL time! I wish our Dog park was as nice as your's seemed. But in our little town we are lucky to have anything.

## MommyofNiko · 2008-09-17T15:23:20.000Z
Niko just turned 3 on Friday. She is a social butterfly! I love that park-other than no shade except one tree.

## Honey's mom · 2008-09-17T15:32:39.000Z
Oh wow! So is she maxed out as far as her size? I keep trying to guess how big Honey will end up being.

## Nekopan · 2008-09-17T15:34:15.000Z
That "baby" mastiff is bigger than that kid!

## MommyofNiko · 2008-09-17T16:10:33.000Z
Those kids running around were killing my nerves! NO RUNNING KIDS IN THE DOG PARK! Niko is full grown. I think she is kinda short but waivers between 16-18 lbs. She is 17 right now.

The mastiff is HUGE! & He's only a baby? omg. Niko is so cute amongst the big dogs :D ~

## _dlroberts · 2008-09-17T16:37:47.000Z
Looks like a great time Rach! The contrast of Niko drinking from that water bowl and the Mastiff drinking from it is hilarious.

## sujewel · 2008-09-17T21:29:59.000Z
That baby Mastiff is almost as tall as the kid in red! So glad Sasha got in the mix too.

## MommyofNiko · 2008-09-17T21:41:40.000Z
Sasha is much more brave when Chad is at the park. I dont know who is protecting who when it is just me...if she is protecting me or I am her...
