Shiba Inu Aikokai Specialty - Shikoku Booth
I've spoken with the President of BSA. She had no problems with us showing up this past year. She said that our dogs were very well behaved. She was very excited to have had 4 Shikoku and 1 Ken attend.
She believes that this is benefitical for the promotion and preservation of Japanese breeds. When Nippo in Japan hear of it, this should make them very proud. The Nippo judge at the previous show was very surprised and pleased that there were other Japanese breeds there.
For next year, she thinks that the Shikoku booth and pamplets info on the breed is a great idea. So long as we have shade for our dogs (set up a tent) and continue to have control of our dogs (on leash or in crates)...should be okay. She is going to annouce this at their next BSA meeting to get a vote, which is this upcoming Sunday.
She needs to know about how many people and their Shikoku will be attending. The club needs to know numbers, maybe they will set aside a spot for us to fit our booth and dogs.
The BSA show will be the 2nd Sunday in March.
Those of you who will be going please give confirmation in this post.
Those of you who might be going but not for certain, maybes are allowed.
I need to let her know by this Saturday, so that she can fit it into her notes.
Thank you.

If, however, you have need of me for something else, please let me know ~
Is it in Cali (what area?) and how do you usually work out your accomodations? Is there anything special you do in preparation?
It'll be at the same location, Gardena CA.
Hmm...airports, I'm guessing LAX and Long Beach Airport. Those are the only ones that I know of close enough to location event site.
LAX, Long Beach (not recomended, small airport), Burbank Airport is also there which is where I usualy fly, less congestion than LAX and easier to get through.
We will bring a crate for her and an xpen in case it's needed... she's super lovey/submissive with all dogs and people so it shouldn't be an issue, but I want to make sure she has a 'get away' spot.
We'll be doing the 15 hour drive to get there - super fun road trip!!!! :oD
(sorry for all the smileys, but just SO excited to actually get to attend something so fun!!!)
PICTURES!!! ~
If we do make it, we'll bring Rakka and Tojo.
Must your dogs be Nippo registered still in order to participate in BSA or is JKC/AKC enough?
Also, as shikoku, kai, JA etc aren't registerable with AKC, what registration body do you primarily use in the States for your non-shibas?
Here is an explanation in English of Nippo: http://www.shiba-inu.nl/Shiba-Inu.Nl_Eng/nihon_ken_hozonkai_Eng.htm
The actual site: http://www.nihonken-hozonkai.or.jp/
Is my say a little late on this Corina?
Jesse
-Shikoku are Nippo/JKC, CKC registered or other kennel club in Europe. I'm gonna also register my Shikoku with the Puerto Rico Kennel Club (U.S. territory) so that I will be able to register a litter in a couple of years. UKC and CKC as well.
Jesse, no you are not too late.
I just gave count to BSA president now. I included also the "maybes". So we will see how it votes. As spectors you should still be able to go watch. I believe the vote is just on the Shikoku Booth. I asked though, just in case to be polite. Those with Shibas, you already have the clearance - just make sure dogs are on leash or in crate/ex pen and cannot escape.
lindsayt - If you come to show, someone will be able to help register with Nippo. The parents have to be registered Nippo as well though.
Alright so Sunday is the BSA meeting, the president just wants to make sure everybody will be okay with having such a large group set up there.
Also Brad, since you will bring Kona...perhaps you and some of the other Kai ken owners can make up a pamplet? In addition to the Shikoku one. Which, by the way, we still need to make.
What should we have on them?
- Photos
- Breed History
- Temperment
- Life with a Shikoku / Kai ken
- Contact/More information - maybe we should just put the forums? Shameless advertising...
- Fun Activities
???????
Should we start a thread for the info that goes in these pamphlets? One for Shikoku, one for Kai?
Since we will be bringing an Akita, should I make an Akita one too????
