Those puppies need more room!!! I shouldn't watch. I've been having puppy cravings, now that Fiona is a strapping 15 month olds.

Shiba puppies!!!
My old Shiba gal is nearly 16 years old... that cam brings back memories of her as a pup.
Today:
LOL. They heard a noise and all ran off, so obviously they're not stuck in the box. Funny to watch... Can't. Look. Away.

Fast asleep when I had a peek.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Bluetree -- I'm not at all familiar with the breed. What are they like? The pups are just too cute. I'm not getting anything done (well, okay, I blogged about them instead of the stuff I'm supposed to blog about!) and instead of watching the shows I watch on Monday night, I paused my TiVo because the human was playing with the pups...

They are like miniature Akitas, about 15-25 lbs depending on show quality. Because they are one of the 14 ancient breeds they can be very strongwilled and must be socialized heavily when young. Otherwise, they tend to have territorial or dominance issues with other dogs, and can rarely be off-leash, lest their wild natures take over whenever they see anything that resembles prey. They also adhere to a very strict "pack hierarchy" when it comes to dealing with their humans. They are not impossible to train, but they are fairly high on the difficulty scale.

One thing I have noticed about them is that are so persnickety clean. I've had two Shibas and neither of them required any housebreaking at all. They absolutely will not foul up anywhere they consider "home" and avoid stepping in puddles, mud, or anything that will get them dirty. They constantly preen and clean their paws like cats. This clean nature, of course, totally goes out the window if they see small game, cats, birds, etc... then they go into hunter mode and you can see the wolfishness in them.
They are very brave in defending their home. I've seen my 20-lb. female Shiba go directly after a 70-lb. German Shepherd that jumped our fence. She's chased off a prowler one night, too. She also has scars on her muzzle from encounters with wild rats and raccoons. Absolutely fearless in that regard, almost to the point of stupid.
They have a two-layered coat which is great for cold weather, and no-so-great during shedding season. Health problems are rare, although we got our Shibas from carefully bred stock in Japan. Most of the Americanized version has been bred after their inclusion into the AKC, which means that traits may have been bred into them for looks, as opposed to function.
I've read some reports that because of their size, they can be made into apartment dogs. I heartily disagree. This breed is very athletic and loves to run!

Wow. Gorgeous picture, and wonderful description. Thanks for taking the time. As cute as they are, it's clear that a lot of thought and dedication must come with choosing them. Your description will help discourage people who don't have the time or temperment -- because as cute as they are, I know I thought about one!

They are sleeping for me right now. I'll have to leave this up through the evening to hopefully catch them playing. Where is this from?

This made my day! One is sleeping on its back with another one sleeping on that one's belly. Adorable.

THAT DEFINITELY QUALIFIES AS ADDICTING AS A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. Pedal Wench you are now a "drug" pusher. Love it, love it!
