S has been considering to get a dog for the longest time and the feeling increased when we found Kenji (the lost dog (Shiba) that we took care for 3 hours before the owner's friend came to take him back). We went to a few pet shops to look at Shiba (Japanese breed dog) and even found 1 that his birthday is 1 day apart from me. Those pet shops usually cost around 150,000 yen - 250,000 yen (2k - 3k plus). S contacted shiba breeder (those that breed shiba specially for contest, they would choose the best to enter contest and sell away the rest) but intially he sounded reluctant to meet us. Since we had no experience in taking care of dogs (Shiba is known for its stubbornness and is challenging to control and teach). Said will contact us again before meeting on Saturday, but no response from him til Friday, to the extent we were considering to take the puppy from pet shop.
We went to breeder house and there were many shiba ( around 7) in different ages. I saw the puppy and he was so cute! S and my fil took interest in Hideji (thats soon to be a year old) and it was obvious they prefer Hideji. I was reluctant as I had anticipated a puppy, everything I read and we brought were meant for puppy......It was like I had expected to care for a 4 year toddler and you handed me a 8 year old child. We left to discuss our options over lunch. If we took Hideji, he is free as it is difficult to find owner as he grows older, if we took the puppy, then it costs 130,000yen (1.6k).
