Shiba Puppies (pix!)

[tempura tantrum]

Hey guys-

It just occurred to me that I don't think I EVER posted photos of Kimi's litter. I have a few baby photos saved on my computer, so I thought I'd share them with everyone at Chaz.

Here's everyone: The one lying down in the front left-hand corner is "Cubby" (just what we called him until he went to his owners), the little girl in the back is "Sayuri," and the big monster on the right is "Chubba-Wubba" (now known as Jessee- our pride and joy).

Lunchtime!

Shiba puppies are such sweet little creatures... "Cubby," Jessee, and "Sayuri."

More photos to come!

I couldn't help myself...Tai was the cutest puppy ever, and I NEVER post photos of him. This is from the day we brought him home:

This is Jessee now, handled owned and loved by the wonderful Pam Peterson- he really turned out fantastic!

I have no idea what Shiba puppies are supposed to look like, but I'm sure yours are up to snuff

IMO, they look an awful lot like super soft cuddly baby bears! LOL

Adorable!

AWW, they are absolutely adorable. Shibas really lighten up a lot as they mature, don't they?

Jessee is STUNNING.

AWW, they are absolutely adorable. Shibas really lighten up a lot as they mature, don't they?

Jessee is STUNNING.

Yep- the puppies start out VERY dark, which is why breeding for a perfect sesame is nearly freaking impossible. You THINK you've got one and then POOF, the pup is red! We thought Sayuri had a shot at it, but she lightened up like the rest of them. You can see how dark Tai was as an 8 week old- his dam was a sesame bitch, so we thought for SURE he was going to be one. He grew up, lost the dark mask, and is now a full-blown red. Go figure!

THIS is a proper sesame Shiba. He's a NIPPO national winner, so you can bet none of us in the US will get a hand on a dog like this anytime soon. In my opinion we don't have a correct sesame dog in this country. Most of the dogs you see shown as sesame are just mis-marked reds. It's something we really have to work on.

We're really proud of how Jessee turned out- I got to see him on our national specialty video, and couldn't believe how wonderful he looked. You can see both Taro and Kimi in there!

[planet molosser]

What a great natural stack they look so alert.
I was looking into them plus the kai kens and the Volpino for my brother.

 

[showpug]

Unreal. Those puppies are beautiful. Shibas just look like they have more brains then they know what to do with, lol! So cute!

 

[Barb04]

Cuties! I just love their color.

 

[sam]

They really are to die for cute-- it's no wonder they are so full of themselves- they're hotstuff and they know it LOL

 

[pitbullpony]

I like the armful of Shiba puppies!
Look like they are nothing but trouble at that stage!
BTW - why the preference for sesame (I like it) is it a pigment concern?

 

[LoveMyKees]

Three words: Gorgeous, Stunning, Adorable

Shibas are such elegant dogs, and as puppies they're just....awwww!

Thanks for sharing, now why didn't you post these before?! JK

 

[RD]

Now, what makes a sesame a sesame? Is it a dog with black guard hairs? That boy you posted is really striking. I've only ever seen reds.

Who is Jessee's sire? I don't know if I've ever seen him. I do adore Kimi, though.

 

[CAOgirl]

WOW, that is interesting the sesame part and the pups are adorable. My neighbor where my parents live have a Shiba and they love to raz my big dog... Lucky for him my male LOVES little dogs they are his best friends...

I will say the shiba (vegas is his name) is quite fiesty and full of himself
