I didn't see this suggested so far, but make sure you take the puppy to a vet that DOESN'T deal with the pet store you bought her from. They are more likely to tell you the truth, and not downplay any sickness. Good luck with your furbaby.

Bree is very cute :) I wish you luck with her! I know having an independant dog can be sort of a turn-off for the first few weeks, but I'm sure you'll start to love it. I absolutely love Pekingeses for this reason. It gives them more character ;)
Freedan, how's little Bree doing?
Sorry for the delay (Military life can be demanding). Bree is doing ALOT better, she is really warming up to us. She now lets us hold her for a longer period of time, falls asleep on us and today she grabbed my finger with her mouth and tried to pull me into the next room (it was too adorable). She wags her tail alot now too. Personally I think my other dog (puggy) had more to do with it than anything, he just wont stop playing with her, so she either had to warm up to us or deal with his insatiable loving. She did a little of both and now is more active and is showing a lot more love, when I came home today she jumped at me and wagged her tail non-stop for like 2 minutes. It sounds corny writing this, but it's true what everyone said that she'd warm up to us eventually. I wanted to thank everyone for the encouragement to keep trying with her and the support and advice that everyone brought to this experience. I appreciate it all and if there's anything I can do for any of you, don't hesitate to ask.

Believe me James, what you're writing about doesn't sound corny at all. We can all relate :) I'm so glad little Bree is coming around. When can we see more pictures of the little doll and that cute Puggy? We'll keep watching "Dog General" for more pics ;)
She is adorable. So is Puggy. Glad to hear that things seem to be working out. :) Just come back every once in a while to update us on those cuties.
She's adorable, but she doesn't look like what I had in mind that a shiba inu favored. She's so adorable though! I hope things are getting better with her :)
I just now looked at the last 2 pictures....she does look like a shiba inu! I was looking at the pictures of the toher puppy which is cute too! Bree is adorable!!!!Quote:

I just love shiba inus, they are so cute, they remind me of little akitas :p.. they indeed a bit standoffish, at first... But that is to totally expected when you buy from a byb or petstore, you wont know what that puppy might have been through at the breeders, or what the parents tempraments were like. She sure is cute, I like her little pink collar.. You have two puppys right now?
Hi! It's "that Bon person" lol!!
James, did you ever receive my email reply? Thank you for contacting me, I hope you did receive my email and that I may have helped even in a small way.
Are you located in Ontario or Canada? I probably told you already, but I Organize a Shiba Meetup group http://shibainu.meetup.com/4/about and I also have a yahoo group called ShibaInuCrazyinCanada. Would love to see you join :)
If you are in Ontario, even if you aren't close to Toronto, join our little Shiba Meetup family - if nothing but for support! LOL Our message boards are busiest when a new owner joins :)
This is a wonderful forum too - I'm bad for not participating in it more often. Everyone's advice had been terrific. I'm glad to hear things are going better with Bree.
Take care,
