Fanime was amazing but it totally left me sick for weeks 
after I got better, I went through the letters I got and found one that had nothing but $20 and a note describing one of my posters. It looked like someone made a mistake and accidentally gave me their money without getting a poster. I want to return that money so If it was you, please e-mail me at Yuumei.yan@gmail.com with your name and address.

the Shikoku Dog / Shikoku Inu or Ken
What is a Shikoku?
The Shikoku dog is a rare breed of hunting dog developed in ancient Japan. This breed gets its name from the Island of Shikoku in the Kochi Prefecture where it originates. The Shikoku is also known as the Kochi-ken, both "ken" and "inu" meaning "dog" in Japanese.
History & Origin
The Shikoku is descended from the medium sized dogs of ancient Japan. It was developed as a hunting dog, mainly used on boar in the mountainous regions of Kochi. There were originally three varieties of this breed, each named for the area in which it was bred.Appearance & Structure
The Shikoku is a medium-sized, well balanced dog with clean cut muscles that generally weighs 35-55 lbs. and stands 17-21 inches tall when fully grown. It is related to the smaller Shiba Inu and the larger Akita, and is similar in build to both its cousins. The breed is classified as a primitive spitz-type having a thick double coat, curled tail and erect ears.
Color
The Shikoku’s color can vary only from sesame (equal mix of black and white hairs), black sesame (more black than white hairs), and red sesame (ground color of red mixed with black hairs).Temperament
The Shikoku dog has a great spirit and is devoted to its master. They are generally reserved around strangers and can make good watch dogs. The Shikoku dog is not for everyone though. Because of their primitive nature and strong prey drive they require proper socialization from puppy hood and obedience training. The Shikoku is well-behaved in the home but is quite athletic and enjoys a fair amount of exercise. They are wonderful companions for hiking and camping but should not be allowed to roam freely as they are hunting dogs by nature. They are a highly intelligent breed and show great aptitude for agility and obedience utilities.

the Cane Corso / Italian Mastiff
The Cane Corso is often subject to breed-specific legislation as well as other forms of discrimination, even at times confused with other entirely different breeds such as the American Pit Bull Terrier and is known to be a "high risk" breed discriminated against by insurance carriers; the breed is restricted and banned in cities throughout the United States and is banned as a whole in Bermuda.
Prior to 1988, the Cane Corso was only known in Southern Italy, and was otherwise considered a well rare breed, and has been officially recognized by the American Kennel Club as of 2010. The Cane Corso is a powerful yet noble and majestic dog, the smaller of the two mastiff breeds native to Italy, the other, larger version being the Neapolitan Mastiff while the Cane Corso is a slightly smaller, yet strong, sturdy and athletic built breed ready to perform any task or meet any challenge.
Quick Facts:
• Country of Origin: Italy
• Functionality: Guardian & protector, watchdog
• Coat Colors: Acceptable colors are black, lighter and darker shades of gray, lighter and darker shades of fawn, and red including brindle which is allowed on all of these colors. Solid fawn and red, including lighter and darker shades have a black or gray mask which does not go beyond the eyes. Markings may be a white patch on the chest, throat, chin, backs of the pasterns, and on the toes.
• Height: Dogs – 25 to 27.5 inches & Bitches – 23.5 to 26 inches
While the Cane Corso is a docile and affectionate breed to its owner, and loving to children and family, it is also a loyal, noble protector and guardian. The breed is intelligent and is described as obedient and easily trained, best when begun during puppyhood.
