Shiba Inu Puppies

For my birthday, Ken was thinking about getting me a puppy. I’m in love with shiba inus so he arranged for us to visit a breeder in Long Island (after a lovely picnic in the park). I had no idea where we were going when we started driving out of the city, especially since we were going to Long Island. We visited a shiba inu breeder on Long Island who had three female puppies left – here are pictures from the day!

The puppies were super excited when we arrived – they were inside and we took them outside to the gated yard:

The puppies all had very different personalities – the puppy with the black collar was super hyper and kept jumping up on Ken!:

The puppy with the pink collar was also very excited and liked to follow her sister around:

Another cute shot:

My favorite puppy was the most calm and quiet – she was very playful but a little more subdued than the other puppies (the one looking at the camera!):

Shibas are so incredibly cute:

Ken ended up liking the crazy hyper one the most – she had an interesting black coloring on her tail that the breeder said would disappear once she became an adult:

Finally, a calm picture of the hyper puppy:

I was a little unprepared to purchase a puppy on the spot (which, it turns out, is something you can’t do) – the breeder was looking for people for next year (these puppies were going to have puppies!). We decided against putting ourselves on the waiting list because I’m still not sure about puppy ownership in the city (Ken and I both work pretty late and it would be tough for a little puppy to stay at home by herself). It was a super fun day to spend time with the puppies – maybe after we have kids we’ll get a bunch of puppies!
