Potentially a dumb question @Giles - but I assume your EU stock is somewhat different to JP, right?
I'm in Osaka right now, before heading back to Tokyo, and was considering popping in to look at 555 models but wasn't sure what they had (e.g. regular indigo versus indigo/black versus -03 for example). Do you have this information or shall I contact Osaka directly?
Thanks!
Thanks both! 
He's 18-24months. Abandoned in a village near to the rescue.. they don't know why he was abandoned but it's pretty common over there. Mostly 'we were bored of the dog', or 'we can't afford it'. They reckon he was treated pretty well as he's good with doggos/humans, used to house life, chilled and confident.
@DougNg - in the current situation yup, given most borders are closed. But usually fairly easy within Europe.. pet passport, list of vaccines and checks - they can then travel easily. The shelter usually does a road trip with 15-20 dogs at a time every 6-8 weeks. The usually do it over 3-4d, but the last trip (2 weeks ago) back from UK to Bulgaria took 7-8 as every time they hit a border it was in the process of closing down due to COVID19. So yeh.. could be a few months before he makes his way over!
I'd love to go raw eventually, but at the beginning looking at stuff like: https://www.frescodog.co.uk/dry-raw-food?p=1
He's a mutt, rescuing from a family friend who runs a shelter/neutering program in Bulgaria. So just trying to consider things in advance!
Having a dog arriving in the next few weeks. What does everyone feed? I know the science/pros around raw.. but it doesn't seem viable/practical as we have a small freezer; I almost feel guilty when looking at high-end air dried food..

Which hours you doing @spitfiredealer ? and you still consuming the same calories I assume?
I was considering given I could probably do 1-9pm quite easily…
Amazing. And this'll be OK for stuff like crotch reinforcements (as in, about to break, but preempting)? I'm about to wash my 555-03 and they need to be reinforced, plus turn-ups need fixing…
I've booked a two week trip for later this year. First time! Appreciate any input/info on 2 week Japan itineraries and recommends for hotels/accommodation at key places (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto etc.).
@AdamJ Yup - happy with how these are progressing!
