Things about Hideji

So far we have Hideji for 2 months and we are still learning more about him everyday. Even though he takes up our time, I could not imagine life without him now.

1. Hideji rarely barks. However, he's protective of his sleeping area which is entrance of the house so strangers (no matter how we scold him or that the person had came our house numerous of time) that entered he would bark non-stop. If there's a car or person getting near to our house, he would just small growl or ruff but once he recognise the person (like the postman that comes everyday, he would not make a sound). Same goes when seeing other dogs during our walks, most dogs would be barking towards him but he would not bark back. 
2. Shiba typically has character of a cat meaning usually they go their own way lol. I had seen many other shiba that will play fetch and obey all commands from their owner but this type of cases are usually being trained from puppy. My concept of having a dog (play fetch, welcome us when we are back home, keep following me and play frisbee) had completely vanished. Hideji has done none of that on my list and he will refuse to come out his cage even after my relentless calling if he is tired lol.  
3. Hideji looks strong but he is quite weak lol. He also will get car sick from long car ride..... So far in our 2 month together, we found that he has food allergy (so far we are not sure what it is) and he had bitten his paws raw and bloody. He has recovered as we changed to low allergy dog food. He also had diarrhea the next day when he took a bath since the weather was too cold. The latest case: keeps pawing his mouth area, not sure whats the cause, still on monitoring mode.

Success in making him obey more commands! 

Found Hideji young puppy pictures from breeder's blog! Suspect its him even though the blog did not state his name

Also from breeder's blog, make me wish we had him since young! This picture is 100 % Hideji! The posture is exactly the same as now!

Its pretty common to see eagles in countryside but recently there's two new comers that resided just right behind our area. I see them almost everyday.
