  • @HappyBrindle - honestly I could have almost word for word typed the the same comments as @cezieg . Perhaps it's because we both have Kai females that are 3 1/2. (Rika was born 02Feb2012). HA! Ren was born 01Feb2012! :) They may as well be twins
  • Everything above is really good information! I have a 3 1/2 year old Kai girl who was extremely shy around people when I got her, and through fostering her confidence through a relationship built around the following, has developed into almost an en…
  • My threads for Ren (Kai) and Genko (Hokkaido) have a lot of information and stories of things that they've done :) We just took a cross country trip from FL to OR to pick up Genko and move. Kai are absolutely great dogs, and if I hadn't gotten a Hok…
  • @WhoBitMe OH and Pixlr Express on www.pixlr.com is the best simple editor imo. I use it for everything that I don't need to be in top, printworthy quality at mega resolutions :P
  • @WhoBitMe Here is a direct link to his "close up" in full resolution! :) http://i.imgur.com/dRCU7xm.jpg I don't have my desktop yet, which I do my photoshopping on for erasing unwanted details etc. I think the little leaf on his head is …
  • @WhoBitMe She did come from Hokkaido. Tokachi Morita Sou in Shimizu, Hokkaido to be exact :) There are several Hokkaido breeders in Europe though, so I had assumed that Kuro came from one of them. So it's cool to hear that he's an import, as his &qu…

  • That's really neat that he is imported from Hokkaido! Is he being used in any breeding programs? I think I saw a French kennel mention him? You do a LOT of activities with him! So cool! :) Do you have a favorite activity? I have read before that H…

  • So yesterday I had the opportunity to meet up with @WhoBitMe and go on a great hike! I got completely lost for a few hours, as the trailhead is MUCH deeper into the park than I had thought it would be. Anyways, we got there in time to do the tough p…
  • Count me in. I'll be there 100%. As for trophy cost, you can contact sponsors (Subaru would be a good start, as they market a lot towards dog owners) and have their advertising media up in exchange for covering trophy/ribbon cost.
  • Ok Beacon Rock it is! Updating the post information. It's going to be more of a hang out and walk vs a hardcore hike, as there's a nice 1 mile loop that we can take down to the river :) Everything else is on the Oregon side or too deep into the big…
  • Right on. I'm a welder and was looking into going up to Alberta, but, from what it seems, there's a lot of red tape for going US to CA, whereas CA to US is easier. Even with my dual citizen papers (process should be done by the end of the year, I ho…
  • Beacon Rock State Park looks very promising for being within the 3 hour timeframe of Seattle and has a nice big picnic area + some shorter non-vertical trails that have river access. So it should make for a leisurely morning and afternoon :) There's…
  • Wow Rollo has grown up so much! I forgot how quickly they get to be more adult looking! The orange was definitely the right choice for him. He looks really good in it :) You're up in Alberta right? Did you move up here for energy related work? I …
  • Love it! The bear seems pretty chill and laid back, like "Come on bro, what're you going to do? You can't get in here" and that last Hokka "gets it" half way through. I wonder how Genko, Yezo, and Meitou would do!
  • Happy birthday to the both of them! I love dark dogs, especially ones with really cute eyes... that almost let them get away with anything haha. Your Akita's collar is really neat too! Did they get special treats today ;)
  • I'm bringing both Ren and Genko, so here's a chance to meet a Hokkaido girl ;) @WhoBitMe I'm not sure what you think about a group hike with Meitou, but you're definitely welcome to bring him out!
  • Definitely ask on the Shiba Inu forum as well, like @WrylyBrindle suggested. Champion bloodlines is a very vague and non-helpful description for a dog's lineage, especially with the sheer volume of Shibas that are out there. That could very well m…
  • Dawwws I love the picture in your second post of him in the log! (3rd pic) I wish I hadn't derped and been unsure of which day we had been planning. At least now you know the good paths for when we meet up! Where do you him enrolled and has he take…
  • You mean how people see our foxes and little wolves? :P I usually just say "Japanese hunting dog" and more often than not that's all they care to know. The rest of the time I just said "Kai" and "Hokkaido Inu, from the Hokka…
  • In order to instigate play she will bump her butt, nip their feet or their backs, pounce, etc... and get in to another dog's personal space without respecting the warnings to back off. That's not just a Shikoku thing, this is how ALL Nihon Ken in…
  • Hi again @Kitsusi! I'm glad you came back :) It looks like you and Kuro have been very busy since the last time that you posted here! What activities do you focus on with Kuro? and what is your favorite activity to do with him? Edit: Oh, and what …

  • @Kitsusi I'm sure Finland is just as beautiful! You have great pictures with your Hokka boy too :)
  • Also, I love your dogs and their puppies! I absolutely loved Shiro and wanted to steal him haha. If Hokka didn't already kind of fit that same size range and personality, then I'd be all about getting a Kishu next!
  • Looking slick @Crispy! The only thing I have to add is that you should put the english name underneath the orange text if possible. That way there are no extra clicks needed to find out who you are or what it says :D
  • not only will Kenji not kill the puppy he will also not hurt the puppy even over a valued bone. They really are absolutely adorable together. I really like Mars' ears too! I want to rub them lol. You can watch Kenji's body language and how gentle …
