    What's the rarest dog breed you've met?

    Hokkaido Ken, but I own him. Does that count? I know of only a small handful of them in the U.S.

    What do you feed?

    Right now three of my dogs are getting a 40/60 mix of Taste of the Wild High Prairie and Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete. The other is getting Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural 'cause he's speshul. They always get fish oil no matter what they are eating. I usually feed homemade...

    Puppy fever.....

    I've done the double-puppy thing before and would totally do it again in a heartbeat. I love my Girls, they were a PAIN as pups/adolescent adults, but totally worth it. I'll be getting my next pup in three months or so. My youngest will be about 1 year by then so there'll be a bit of a gap...

    Tugs?

    A 6 foot length of 3/4inch thick cotton rope. Or, one of these: http://www.ruffwear.com/Gourdo_Dog_Toy_2?sc=2&category=14 The Shiba will tug with anything though, he doesn't care.

    Theriogenology Class Thread

    I'm a bit miffed since on every quiz I got all three answers right, but it marked me down as wrong for one answer on each quiz. What the heck. I barely wrote anything for the case study. I'm not concerned about short answers, I'm attending to learn, nothing more.

    A plastic box. Fill it up once a day. Sometimes the Shiba drinks out of the pool.

    Please Neuter

    My neutered (at 2 1/2 months by the shelter) Shiba tries to hump every female in heat he comes across. He'll start bloody fights over her. He'll try to escape, bark, whine, and scream to get at her... He may not have balls anymore, but he sure thinks he does. How is that any less cruel than an...

    What do you do "wrong"?

    Lets see here... I let my Shiba bark bark bark because I don't give a crap. I use a prong with Juneau. My dogs don't walk in a perfect heel beside me. I feed my dogs raw meat. I feed my dogs grains. I feed my dogs all kinds of leftovers. My dogs eat before me. I give my dogs food while...

    Would you change food?

    Acana has a TON of iron in it. I highly doubt it's an iron deficiency. The dogs probably just like the taste or texture of the dirt. My dogs all eat grass, but they don't have any sort of problems that would be remedied by eating grass. They just like it. One of them eats crunchy brown leaves...

    Collar rant.

    My dogs don't wear collars in the house. Only when we are out and about. I don't have problems with collar rings.

    How bad are fleas and ticks in your area?

    Depends on where you go around here and the season. I hike with my dogs a lot and sometimes they get a bunch of ticks, othertimes they get few or none. They very rarely pick up fleas, usually from someone else's dog if they do. I always brush them off and go over them with flea comb after a...

    What is your favorite dog breed?

    I don't have a favorite breed. Types, yes, but not breed. Most Spitz breeds, some sighthounds, A couple European shepherds, Australian herders, and a few molosers.

    Other people "correcting" your dogs?

    I don't like it at all, not with the Shiba anyways. He is not "rude" to people as in jumping or mouthing. He ignores them. Which can be rude to some people... Dogs who jump on me get told off, blocked, or I turn away and do not give them attention. That sort of stuff is alright, but nothing...

    Sup from Southern Oregon

    Hey all! I'm Losech, and these are these are my dogs. Conker the Shiba Inu, almost 3 years old. I got Conker from a shelter in St. Louis when he was 4 months old. He's got a couple food intolerances and has Luxating Patella in both knees (quite bad in the right) but that does not stop him...

    Fresh Pet Select?

    My dogs all likes it. The Shiba did good on it wen I did a trail for Freshpet. I don't feed it because it's expensive, but I occasionally buy it as a treat.
