I am a Mighty Shiba-Inu. I was born July 28, 2005 at the Koma-Inu Shibas and Akitas in New Hampshire. I moved to Manhattan (NYC) on September 23, 2005. I was housebroken by the 28th of September. I had full control of the house by October 1st.

Come on in and check out my photo-diary or photo-blog, if you wish.

Why Higgs? Ah, if you have to ask you are one of the few Physics-impaired around. Here's a link to what a Higgs boson is. I've got to tell you though, people do tend to cluster around me. So, I guess I'm the real thing!

OK, so my name is Higgs and I'm a Shiba-Inu. Don't call me Higgs-Inu, please. (Bad, bad Physics joke!)
Here's another one: I'm no little Higgs either. I am DOGZILLA!

There has been a lot of talking about finding ME lately.
The New York Times great article.
A cute animation at the London Science Museum
Quite frankly, I'm very disappointed with them physicists. An exquisite detector (LHC) was built in Europe just to look for ME. Hello, I'm right here!!!! Stop looking elsewhere!!! I'm out in the park every day. Plus, do you have any idea how much marrow bone I could buy with 8 billion dollars?
Oh and by the way, it's not the God-Particle; it's the DOG-Particle!

I AM NEITHER A FOX NOR LOOK LIKE ONE!
I'm getting tired of people stopping me to ask: WHAT IS THAT? [Is this a fox? He looks like a fox!] I found a description of the main characteristics of a red fox and made a side by side comparison.
I am not also an Akita, Alaskan Malamute, Basenji, Corgi, Finnish Spitz, Jindo, Siberian Husky... What next, Labrador, Pug???
I'M NOT A MIX either (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Just look at my grand father's - Ch Koma-Inu I'm The Man - big accomplishment!
January 2007 - WOW! My 'old man' did it again! Congratulations, GrandPa! Ah, if only I had the balls...

Let's talk about my favorite subject: ME

People comment on how well behaved I am, on what a gentleman I am when they meet me outside. I put together some footage to prove them wrong. Check it out:

Now the juicy stuff:


Gabriela and Saavik hate me!
For the ones who want to know how the cats are doing, they're curious and furious. Saavik is the worst! She's such a drama queen! But, I think she's enjoying "playing" with me 'cause she gets very silly.

My friends
You hear a lot about Shibas not getting along with other dogs. Not my case. I have a lot of friends and I love each one of them. This clip shows how I greet my friends.
