  • I'm a bit nervous of doing anything off leash too. I just found out that I'm close to several forests and I want to take Endo there. There are several reasons why I'm nervous; the first being is that he has hit fear stage PLUS rebellion stage now (a…
  • Anyone getting ready for the next one in Milan? I actually enjoyed myself in Helsinki. Wouldn't mind doing all three dates though.
  • I'm in Japan (Osaka, Tokyo) mid to late Jan. We'll miss each other :P
  • I got to the rings a little late as I came in at mid-day. Didn't get to see you @MirkaM ! Though for some strange reason I met so many Shikoku and their owners! Oh, and one Kishu ken! (which I thought was a Hokkaido...oops). The Kishu was super swee…
  • I think you guys would also enjoy this: http://youtu.be/YxJf2L2B5fY Kinda cool that these dogs figured out that the centre is full of people willing to feed them. Maybe it's the same everywhere else in the world with stray dog population?
  • Unfortunately the dogs in Turkey are not treated very well. I see in some of your photos, that some have been re-released (after being spayed/neutered, etc) - My friend lives in Turkey and works with Dog Rescues there. The state some of those dogs c…
  • Bought my tickets today! Not sure how Endo will be on the ferry. I have to crate him! Should prepare some earplugs!
  • One of those Shiba's is Endo's father! I need to ask my Finnish friend is she is showing her Finnish Lapphund, Sulo PS - Have you seen the awards? They are so beautiful!
  • My 4 month shiba stalks my Boston Terrier when he is playing with him. As long as they're playing I don't worry about it.
  • LOL The last picture of your first post; your Shiba is looking at you like "WTF did you bring back home!?" :))
  • I like @lindsayt 's suggestion. I did a similar thing with my Shiba where I paid for the breeder to travel with my puppy and I met them together at the airport. It's just kinda smart because the breeders know their puppy well, traveled before, and i…
  • I need to borrow someone's Hokkaido for my Shiba puppy... ;) I-)
  • imgur.com is a good photo hosting site.
  • The breeders of Endo's father want me to come to the show. Although Endo will be too young to compete. I'm considering just going to visit on the Saturday when the FCI Group 5 will be on show.
  • She's a wizard, Harry! She's got a white bolt on her forehead!
  • I just found out my husband will be away, so looks like I won't be able to make it :(
  • Not rude at all! Thanks! You can all go back to making fun of Brad!
  • Seeing as this is still a thread about Kishu; what colours do they come in and what are the 'acceptable' colours for show (if any) ?
  • @BradA1878 ! Wow! Hahaha, I will have to bookmark this forum and have a look around. You think with my own personal background I would know more on the Laika breeds, but not really (besides the Samoyed, Husky, and maybe Karelian Bear Dog?) - It's t…
  • He so cute!!

  • I like how they were dressed up like sumo wrestlers. I suppose dog fighting was very religious in Japan. Erm, or it had very traditional religious aspects in dog fighting like they have in sumo wrestling.

  • Thanks guys! Are there any threads about how similar Laika/Spitz breeds and Japanese spitz breeds are? I think it's quite fascinating to see striking similarities with these breeds, even though they are now "so different". I.e. that Green…
  • @Crispy - you are so lucky you do not have the "Cat from Hell" (AKA my cat!) - I had to separate my first dog only because my cat was trying to kill him :( Now, they are the best of friends, and yes, my dog also likes to try and bite him, …
  • I love TK! He is so handsome! I am surprised to see him living with cats! :O :D
  • I was wondering if there was a guide on what the Kai's height and weight should be? How tall (at the withers) is your Kai? (general question to everyone)
  • She is so beautiful! Wowwee! I always thought Woodchuck Hard Cider was Canadian, I just learned it's American. Huh. Learn something new.
