Don't worry about Right Puppy Kennel, I went there prior to purchasing my Shiba inu, while their business is breading dogs, they are not a puppy mill in the definition of keeping dogs as prisoners, never letting them out, just to produce puppies and so on. Right Puppy Kennel is a large operation, the dogs run in open spaces, well fenced, have a airconditioned break house, fresh water, and lots of love! The owner knows plays with each, they are family. Don't know anything about Tamaskan problems.

@Ofrahaza5 Great to hear a good testimonial about that place! I've talked with him a few times and he seemed so nice so I didn't want to believe the bad rumors. Just more proof to always do your own research :)

so.. amaterasu is a shiba inu?

[yumekitsune4]

@petersruwen Ahh...no, lol. Amaterasu is indeed a wolf (although if I remember right, there's a Shiba in the game somewhere). The style of the Okami picture lent itself to the effect I want trying to achieve and it was also vague enough to resemble a Shiba. Unless, of course, you're familiar with the game, lol

Great video! I've done a lot of studying on Shibas and I've never read anything that would say one way or another that they hate water. Personal experience puts it squarely on a dog by dog basis. I also don't count the dog hating baths as hating water.

Also please be careful with Right Puppy Kennel, I've heard some claims that they're a puppy mill and I know there's been issues between them, their "Tamaskans" and the club that oversees the breed.

@neoritter Sorry for the double comments!

I've also heard the same things about that kennel (after I made this video). They had a great stock of quality Shiba photos that I could get quickly and easily. They also gave me permission to use them. Since I made this video as a class project, time was a factor, lol. Thanks so much for the great comment!

It's a shame Dogs101 did not put as much effort into researching this breed as much as you. Nicely narrated :) My Yuni looks a lot like the mountain breed.

Does anyone know of a breeder that does not charge $800+++? I live in Oregon, and have had such a hard time finding one. I see them online, but most look like they were not bred well & they charge a ton to ship. I am so discouraged. I have looked for well over a year. I want a Shiba Inu soooo bad!!! I don't want to support a puppy mill though & the breeders registered with AKC cost over a thousand dollars! Rescues wont adopt to us because we have a child & rent an apt =(

Could you do a documentary about the siberian husky please love your video

@boysgotcootiesXD

My thoughts exactly... those are the two dogs I would love to own!

[petersruwen]

@yumekitsune4 haha, ok, thank you for the information :)

Great video! I rescued a Shiba 3 months ago. He's a challenge, but I love every minute of it!

I love me some shibas! I'm stationed in Japan and have 2. I think there is something wrong with my youngest. I think she's from an inbred litter.  She's stocky and not very graceful. If she gets upset she will growl but won't hurt you. But she is still a very loving and friendly dog. Your video is awesome! Great job!
