Denali's mom says: Our new puppy, Denali, is a 10-week-old half Shiba Inu, half Mini-American-Eskimo. It's a tongue twister when you have to explain that to all the people that stop us and ask what kind of unusual, yet adorable breed she is! She has all sorts of colors to her. Her paws, chest, and tip of her tail are white, her ears are black, and the rest of her is a darker brown! Denali loves to play with any toy that she can get her little jaws on. At first, she was a little skeptical about the snow up here in North Dakota, but once she got used to it she can't get enough of it! After along day of play, she loves to get her naps in. The cute thing about these naps, is that she dreams in them! She sometimes does a muffled "yelp" and even moves her paws as if she's running! She is perfecting "sit", "down",and "comes" when she wants to, but is getting a lot better! She prefers playing with the bigger dogs. We think she is a big tuff girl, trapped in a little pup's body! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect puppy than Denali!
Talk about a crick in the neck! How cute though!
She looks like a lil fox curled up against the other dog. Absolutely adorable!!
I don't comment very often, but I couldn't resist with this one! Many many many happy years with her!
I couldn't resist this photo of her with the big dog.Too cute!! She should come to love that snow.She's such a precious little ball of fluff. I predict she's going to bring you a lifetime of love and joy.
This very funny picture of a very cute puppy looks like she didn't quite stop in time after one of her big tuff dog-grrl forays. WHOOPS! Slammin into dat wall... oh well, nap time. zzzzzz.
this picture is SO cute!! it reminds me of my little pomeranian, cuddling up with my other big 80lb aussie/eskimo mix.
Big ball of fluff alert! I love her little puppy belly. She is lovely and I am glad she has a nice cold climate to enjoy all that fur she is blessed with. Given her breeding I am sure she too will soon been one of the 'bigger dogs' she seems to enjoy so much Congratulations
Boy, this one was hard to find a favorite!! They are ALL so darn adorable!! What a beautiful dog!! Lucky You!!!
She is an adorable little beauty!! Hard to pick a favorite picture, she is so cute in all of them, especially snuggling up with her sibling in the snow.
She's so cute - and she does have somewhat of a Pom look about her - especially those ears. Be sure to send pics to the Grown Up Puppy so we can see her when she's a big girl!
Have fun with this little beauty - she's a keeper.
Is her doggy friend also part of the family? They look quite content together,
i wanna nip on her WUDDLY WUDDLY EARS, WUDDLY WUDDLY PAWS n WUDDLY WUDDLY TAIL!!!!!
SHE'S MY BEAR BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
Adorable, cute, and I love them both. Lucky, lucky you to have all of this love! God Bless you all....
Denali is so very precious!!!! Best of luck with her. What a big fluff ball, just want to cuddle, cuddle, cuddle!! Lots of belly rubs and playing fetch. Many happy years to all of you. Please post a picture of her when she is a grown up gal. Thanks.

Denali is SUCH a lovely name! She DEFINITELY deserves it!!!!
Is her snuggle buddy a Malamute or a Siberian Husky? Looks a lot like the malamute I had as a child!

Love all the pictures of Denali. She is a true beauty and a sweetheart. She is the perfect little cuddlebug. Hugs, kisses and 11 biscuits.
What a beautiful little baby. I would love to see her as an adult. I bet she is going to be absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy your baby.
Absolutely the cutest puppy so far this year and there have been very cute puppies!!! I am picking a picture but I love them all!! Many Many years of love and puppy kisses!!!
she is sooooooooooooooooo adoable and tiny and cute and CAN I HAVE HER!!!!!!!!??????? j/k sorta she is just so cute i wanna take her home!!!!!!!!
CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!!!!!!!
She is SO incredibly adorable - you must be over the moon over her!
If she were mine, I would never get ANYTHING around the house done, I would want to snuggle her NONSTOP!
Here's wishing you many happy years!
Wow! She is a special beautiful little girl. Love all the pics. Kisses and belly rubs to Denali and her magnificent friend. There seems to be a loving relationship between them. How adorable! XOXOXO
She is "A"dorable !!! I would love to know where you got her. Does someone breed them or what? So precious
Denali is just about the sweetest little "puff" I've ever seen!! Unusual "combo" of breed,....would love to see pictures of her as she grows up!!! It was tough to choose between the picture of her sleeping with her neck "UP" in the doorframe, or the one with her curled up in the fluffly tail sleeping with her grown up friend!! As you can see, the comfort and warmth of a friend won out!!! Is this a family member, or a family friend? Denali is a little doll,...lots of kisses and little bear hugs, and many years of happiness with this fluffly bundle!
Denali is too adorable, congrats! The pics are fabulous, hard deciding on a favorite, but this one is great- 'Whew, I ripped and tugged and squeaked this toy to death- time for a nappy!' Hehe, tons of hugs and scritches for this little doll and her brother/sister too!
HOW do you get anything done in a day? I would just be sitting there going "Awwww" for eight hours at a stretch! She really is so cute. It's hard to choose a picture but this one just about won out - it was this or the puppy-and-other-dog combo. I can see I'm going to spend a week coming back to this one over and over again! Enjoy!

Very cute mixed breed. Wait until she starts wagging her tail during dreams. That's always hilarious. What a beautiful coat. Finally some good quality photos and variety. More pictures needed!
What a beautiful, beautiful face and what an adorable pup! You are lucky owners and she is a lucky pup! I hard time deciding what picture to choose because they are all GREAT.
Aww...I can't decide which picture!! I just love 2,3 and 4. Ugh...hate these decisions. :) She is cute though!!! Wish I could sleep like that...gather all the sun in! :) I'm curious to see what she looks like when she's older. Interesting combo. :) Best of life to ya!! :)
A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.
That is definately one of the cutest dogs that I have EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!
The pic. with her and the husky is SOOO CUTE!!!
The owners of Denali are SOO lucky!
This is such a cute dog i want this dog lol He is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to get a dog. This one is so cute and small and furry!!!!
What a little teddy bear. She's so cute. I love her facial expression. I can tell she is a big girl at heart in a little body. Wishing you lots of belly rubs, cuddles, and kisses. :)
She's so cuuuuuuuuuuuute! I wish I could sleep in any position. Our dog runs, yips, and snores in his sleep. I want to give Denali a tummy wuffle! She doesn't look much like a mountain; maybe some day. Nice name anyway. We love her.
She is too cute. She's like a little bear. You ave very blessed that she is in your life. And that picture with the larger dog is so sweet. I like ALL the pictures. I couldn't pick just one. Lots of kisses!
aw! what a truly amazing dog! that's such a cute puppy! if you ever, anyone, find a dog THAT CUTE then TELL ME!!! I need another dog, so that would be amazing!! [color=red] she is so cute i wish i could hug her! cutest dog i've EVER seen! [/color]
10000000000000000000000 biscuits!
Denali looks very Shiba. I have a good friend who has several Shibas (two are champions) and has bred Shibas for many years.
Denali better make good friends with that Siberian. My friend also rescues Siberians and has about 30. The Sibes are not out when the Shibas go out. The Shibas are very "bristley" and are always trying to pick fights with the huskies. The huskies, being much bigger and stronger, just go "Huh?"
I hope Denali is keeps on being adorable.
My late Akita Camembert used to sleep just like this -- happy memories to me. Happy Life to you and Denali!
With every comment I leave, I am sure there won't be a cuter puppy ever, but this time I am positive, Denali is far and away the winner of the cutest puppy in the UNIVERSE!!! Please show us more pictures of her as she grows up!
[color=red]Oh Denali you are sooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!! and I love how you sleep!!! :) You are just ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Many kisses, hugs and biscuits to you!!!
Happy New Year and best wishes always![/color]
Although the Daily Puppy has been part of my morning routine for a while, Denali (and the fact she's a fellow North Dakotan) made me register. What a fuzzy sweetheart! Our dogs always found the sunniest spot in which to snooze. May she give you warm fuzzies for many winters.
This is pup heaven and Denali is a reigning Angel of Cuteness.
I love Shiba Inus and all arctic dogs, so she is right in there with my dream dogs. What a great combination of breeds. She looks like a wild wolf cub in the top pic.
This puppy made my day. I bet the owners are beside themselves with love over this little baby furball. :)
I love this picture , they both are adorable , love the husky also . ENJOY ENJOY your new baby . Lots of biscuits
For every one who is wondering the other dog pictured is an Alaskan Malamute. He is part of our family, but of no realtion to Denali. He loves to play with her and their favorite new game is keep away from eachother!!
Except for her color she reminds me of the Norweigen Elkhounds I had. They were so cute like that. Balls of fluff at first then lots of pretty hair. Have lots of Winter fun with her. She is so cute, I can't wait to see her (if you post her as a grown up) when she has matured.
OMG what an adorable pup! I LOVE Shiba Inus, but this little one actually made me gasp with cuteness! Does she shed? Wow, what a beautiful dog! Enjoy every minute!
Kerri :)
Wow! I have never seen so many comments for one fluff ball puppy!!! Denali is adorable and love the larger Husky also...Both gorgeous creatures!!!
What an adorable teddy bear of a puppy! I love northern breeds. having rescued A Seppala Siberian Sled dog off the street over a year ago. Just wish I had room for more. Kisses, hugs, snuggles and 11 zillion biscuits for Denali!
They r so cute! I lv Shibas!And these r super cute!
P.S. I know my user name is misspelled...German Shepherd Lovr is wat i meant :(
I love her name and her coloring!!! Denali is just too cute for words; like many others, it took awhile to choose a favorite photo. (Our beagle used to "talk" in her sleep, too, so the sleepy puppy shot was also very tempting.)
Many scritches, tummy rubs, and biscuits to little Denali (and her big friend)!
Denali is adorable and what awesome pictures i had a tough time deciding on my favorite!!! Enjoy your life together...and stay warm!
What a cutie...is she a fox...is she a bear cub...is she a puppy...it's hard to tell...but she's definitely adorable!! I've never heard of a Mini-American Eskimo....what an interesting mix of breeds.
This is one very seriously CUTE! puppy girl. Looking at her pix makes me just want more . . . gimme more! of darling Denali.
And info about her name, too . . .
At least let us revisit her when she a grown-up puppy.
All the luck in the world.
No favorite pic cuz one is cuter than the next.
OMG! She is beautiful! I am very curious to know how big she will get to be.
Hugs and kisses to Denali!!
11 biscuits too!!
Oh my god!!! She's the best - amazing photos - really difficult to pick a favorite - but look at this sleeping pose - this is so NEW!!! Her big furry friend is a knockout too - what's his/her name?
Happy 2008!
First :) Good morning everyone
She is sooooo cute, she reminds me of a Pomerian my mom rescued several years ago
