  • Thats great! Do you know if there is any video footage to be found youtube etc. of them doing dog sports? I would really love to see other nihonken doing things
  • ^and ofcourse there must be detailed plans for outcrossing litters, dogs to use and reasons to do it. It's not something like "I want to mix these two and see what happens" or "oh no, accident litter". And before any pup can be …
  • I would say it will fully grow back next time he will grow the whole fur. So if he just finished last fur growing and is keeping the fur now, you probably have to wait longer. I don't think a single hair really knows it has been cut.
  • Oh thank you for that video @PoetikDragon ! I have to try that globeknot when I find something to use inside it.
  • I have also made a few these kind of toys! I start a bit different so that there won't be knot at all at the starting end. I also tried few different "extras" few years ago to make them more fluffier or interesting to chase :) (Image)
  • I'm not 100% sure but if you want to show your dog, shiba may be the only option of those breeds. To my understanding UK KC has a lot less breeds than the FCI countries and mid-sized nihon kens aren't included.
  • In finland hip results for JA between 2005-and now: A:67 B:84 C:58 (Mild hip dysplasia) D:29 (Medium hip dysplasia) E:2 (Severe hip dysplasia)
  • I'm happy if you find some of the blog content to be interesting :) lately updates have been mainly in finnish because there have not been many visitors from other countries. But I will still make some posts/guides in english too probably. Like the …
  • Not. Funny. Looking at these pictures I want shikoku again! ;)
  • Thank you all! Ganon&Navi have done great work this year. I hope we can get into new things in future too :D It's always great to hear if someone finds my dogs to be inspiring. Never too many people doing things with their dogs. @OtakuBenny My …
  • Thank you! I live in Lahti, southern part of Finland. But my hometown is Rovaniemi so I travel to north now and then.
  • Thank you @WhoBitME A little update. We participated at weekend training of HTM&freestyle. Now I actually more knowledge what I should be doing in that sport. Sadly Ganons back legs have been a little worse so we haven't been doing HTM. But Na…
  • Updates on the sporting events! Our agility training is improving. We took part in "training-trial" at march. There were no all obstacles so we did great :D (teeter totter & weave poles are still in training). We actually won this cla…
  • Thanks you! It's easy to try new things with Navi. She is not the smartest but she is really easy shiba (friendly to other dogs and doesn't get provoked, well behaving and listens well). Unfortunately Ganon has really bad hips so no agility with hi…
  • Seems like I will update Navis post every half a year ;) But looking great! I think Navi has grown up now. Right now she is in full coat and her cheeks are huge ;D (Image) Back to what has happened after last update. We were in the world dog show…
  • It's mandatory to chip puppies here before you can register them. There are about 50000 dogs registered in finland every year and I have never heard of any reactions to chips.. I would assume it's safe to do.
  • I don't find any Taiwan dogs either. But I was surprised to see there is 9 Thai Bangkaew Dogs entered! Shibas got another judge. Luckily rings are next to each other. Akitas (japanese) ring will be close but other nihonkens are other side of the bu…
  • Okay. If you ever wanted to see a shiba. Or two. Or 125 O.O you better to come to WDC in helsinki next month! They have released the number of dogs entered by breed now. Overall 21,247 dogs from 360 different breeds have been entered. I was expectin…
  • Thanks! That was really amazing. Story goes that yesterday was international dog show at rovaniemi. Navi got best of breed & CAC again. And got second place at Group!! :D I was a bit lost when we got picked in top 6 at group judging. I was thin…
  • @MirkaM Nähdään erkkarissa. Siis jos keksin kyydin. Nyrjäytin juuri nilkkani ja huomenna ois näyttely.. Thanks everyone :)
  • Me neither :) Navi had her first official dog show a week ago. She did really well and got a good review. She also got her first certificate (CAC) and placed best of breed :D (Image)
  • MirkaM, you can also get into the pair competition?
  • And then there is the time. Dogs can also chance their opinion. Ganon decided at the age of 4 tha he likes balls. Even more if they squak. Before that I could throw a ball and there it went. Thats about it. At one seminar the speaker was talking a…
