Man I wish Nemo howled like that little guy is doing on the sled. My Shiba naps, he's pretty happy with that hobby.

aww, thats cute. xD Toby's job is to be lazy, and be cute. Go on hikes and carry nothing.

Man that first sled dog shot made me smile! So cute! The Shiba is so small next to the other dogs but I bet he pulls just as hard and fast! As for the first pic - that boar is HUGE! Its funny [not a Shiba thing, but still funny], Jen and I always joke about how we could see Ahi hunting a boar w/ no problems but we could NEVER see Lao hunt a boar... she is so sweet. lol. She would probably just want to play with the boar! Those pics are great - I dunno where you get all these amazing pictures but I LOVE that you share them with us! ----

ktrebor has a secret source for awesome dog pictures. I didn't really notice before, but that boar is HUGE.

## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-07-18T11:31:19.000Z
Did any one else notice that the boar is also on a zip line, and I would guess, a dummy? Super cool shots. Moto and Nemo seem to have similar hobbies. Perhaps they should join a napping forum.

I did - a wild boar that close would mean that those two people were absolutely insane!!

## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-07-18T11:35:59.000Z
They could share tips about curling into a really tight ball, or belly crawling underneath the bed to get into prime napping positions.

## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-07-18T11:36:23.000Z
true, and likely dead not long after.

## Harajuku · 2008-07-19T05:30:31.000Z
WOW - yet more fantastic photos! Ktrebor, are you perhaps my secret photo fairy godparent? Would I be risking my extremely good fortune by petulantly stamping my feet and begging for more?

## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-07-19T06:26:29.000Z
If I'm not mistaken that boar is just the skin of the boar. It looks a bit flat, and it's hanging form that wire...

And what to my wondering eye did appear, But a miniature sleigh with Shiba Inus - not deer. Sorry, I couldn't hold it in.

## ktrebor · 2008-07-21T05:42:40.000Z
Harajuku - I ve got all this photos thanks to my friends all over the world :) I promise if I get something new I will publish it here :)

There's a shiba in Calgary that does search and rescue.

## ktrebor · 2008-07-25T04:20:26.000Z
Thres is also shiba "Tengu" working as a LSD detector http://www.bill.grimmer.com/k9.htm

Ktrebor they are such an inspiration, thanks for the info reminding us of that the can do so many things. Trainers in the U.S. have been slow to come around in the thinking that spitizies have training merit. I wonder if the Shiba that is used for drug searches came from a breeder or was a random dog he picked up. Also I wonder what he did that is/was so effective in training that made them such a good team for detection work. Also, I recently saw "flame" on animal planet show "dogs with jobs" aired here in America. Awesome dogs that's for sure! In the picture Shiba with sled dogs, what are the white dogs toward the back, Sammies? Keep it coming ....we know they can do it : ) Snf
