They have a lot of great ideas for containing their animals in a safe environment and making sure there are no backyard escapes, which my Kishu are very, very good at when they have the right motivator (a cat, a squirrel, a rabbit, etc, on the other side of the fence.)<br /><br />I sometimes post my dogs and find it really interesting that they think that the Shikoku is more wolflike (when I think the Kishu is probably a little more so - but the Kishu doesn't "look like a wolf", so they aren't as popular among these people). I hear every day how wolfy my Shikoku is on the street, but I just never saw it that way - and I think the people who think they look wolflike probably have never seen an actual wolf in person or really paid attention to what they look like (or act like).<br /><br />It's in my Shikoku's head shape - the little stop, the smallish, rounded ears compared to Western breeds, and, of course, the color - but to me, the Shikoku looks nothing like a wolf and really, frankly, doesn't act half as "wild" as my Kishu. He's older, though, and just physically not capable of the same things as the Kishu are...<br /><br />But yeah, it's something I always find funny. Especially when black sesame was the last color on my list of likes (and I'd still love a red sesame, if I ever had another Shikoku in my life...)Crisphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778920208503720669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734462636905794264.post-82009266604153801432015-11-12T23:02:17.763+09:002015-11-12T23:02:17.763+09:00I admit that the sesame and black sesame allure do...I admit that the sesame and black sesame allure doesn't resonate with me. You can find those colors in other breeds like German Shepherds...aykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713476142996647730noreply@blogger.com
