Biography of Snick the Dog

Snickers is a black and tan Shiba Inu. Born Thanksgiving Day, 2003, in upstate New York, Kawakirei BNT Sweet ‘N Nutty (a.k.a. Snickers) was a sweet puppy from the very beginning.

His breeder, Sandra Krupski, chose him for us because he was "the kissiest" boy in the litter. She later wrote

Snickers was a big puppy when born and he loved to eat and looked like it. Because he was so bottom heavy <G> he was the last to walk. We used to do leg exercises while he laid on his back and stared at me. Then he got his belly scratched and tickled and loved it. It got so he would just flop over every time I walked near him. Best head of the bunch. He was always the most social of the boys… every time I reached down to pick up a puppy, it was always Snickers. He’s always been that special dark sweet treat.

Snick’s pedigree provides a solid foundation for his wonderful temperament. Ongoing training and socialization have built on that foundation. Although he is a Shiba Inu – often known for being snarky with other dogs and antisocial towards humans outside their inner circle – he has continued to be a very social dog.

PS As an adult, Snick is no longer "bottom heavy." He’s a perfect 23 1/2 pounds!
