Kyro (aka the Victorious one) came a long long way to Portugal, the country where his owners live. This Shiba belongs to Hugo Rocha and his wife Anastasia. He came from Russia but he “speaks” in Portuguese.He is a very active dog, always waiting to play with his Portuguese and Russian owners. He loves to walk in the forest, in the mountain or in the beach for a very long time. He (almost) never gets tired and he is always challenging his humans for new activities. They love to have a dog like this because it helps them getting fit. ;)
