Presented above is a photo featuring one of our selectively bred Dakine Shiba Inus, Mr. Shefu, who secured Reserve Winner at an AKC dog show just one of the shows. He was competently handled by our Handler who is one of my closest friends Soni.
At this time, we have refrained from dog showing due to factors such as time constraints for weekends, my personal health, and the potential risk of introducing Diseases, worms, and protozoa to our dogs who are family at home.
Our weekends are notably occupied with my husband's business ventures, as we are currently engaged in substantial undertakings. Considering the broader scope of our lives at present, I am not willing to jeopardize the well-being of my dogs – who are members of our family – by exposing them to potential diseases, illnesses, parasites, or protozoa often associated with exposure at dog shows due to so many dogs.
In response to inquiries from fellow breeders who may speculate or comment about me not currently showing my Shibas, I wish to clarify my current stance. It's important to acknowledge that I possess a history of successfully showing and earning titles for numerous dogs over the years, both for myself and on behalf of others, spanning various breeds, all under my previous Personal name as well as the name of my Shibas which I have changed in just the past few years for my love of Hawaii to Dakine after living on Maui for several years. Nevertheless, I've consciously chosen to diverge from subjecting my dogs to unnecessary risks merely for the pursuit of titles when I know the quality of the dogs in my program. That chapter of my life has concluded.
It is essential to note that I am well-versed in assessing the structure of my breed and employing that knowledge to selectively breed for both physical soundness and overall health within my specific breed. My dearest and one of my closest friends, a highly accomplished all-breed handler with a name for herself, has and continues to asses my Shibas stating they are some of the finest she has encountered. This sentiment holds immense value for me, as it resonates with the diligent effort, unwavering commitment, and profound affection I invest in this breed.
I have personally known of several breeders who are believed to have picked up Parvo and another very serious life-threatening disease at a dog show/event please click below for a good read on this well-documented study A large number of reported parvo cases taking place in 2012 and early 2013, with exposure to the virus believed to have taken place at dog shows, motivated OFA to fund a study. My germaphobia and worry after knowing of a few breeders picking up serious diseases at dog shows will no longer allow me to do the dog shows and being a Vet Tech I know how the disease is spread and how easily. NOTE: Vaccines also are not always protective

We currently only have four Shiba Inus in our entire program. This includes friends and dogs, who house a couple of the girls that come to us to be bred and have litters, and of course, our dogs.
NOTICE: None of our Shibas have slipped hocks this is a huge structural issue and Issue in the breed so many have this terrible structural fault, far too many breeders including show breeders are allowing it in their breeding program this can eventually cause Patella and Hip issues we will never have a dog in our program with this structural fault. Many breeders and show breeders included are not removing dogs from their breeding program with this serious structural fault for so many Shibas have it. Being a Vet Tech I know how this can affect a dog's longevity and its potential to add to issues and refuse to have a dog on my program without sound hocks.
NOTE: When a Shiba blows coat sometimes when they are in a warmer climate they may not get as full of the coat as when they were in a cooler climate. Often with us going to Arizona and Redding Ca where it is scorching our Shiba Inu's will stay with a lighter coat. We try to take pictures of our dogs while in full coats so you can see what they look like. It can make it hard for we are stay in such hot climates for the better part of the year. We spend Summers in Oregon and WA—and winters in CA and AZ.
NOTE: When a female Shiba Inu has a litter they have a hormonal blowing of the coat. They will lose all coats while nursing. This makes them look a bit funny, but is all part of helping a litter and turning overcoat due to the hormones.
NOTE: You get what you pay for in this breed. Good Shiba's are very costly. A cheap-priced Shiba is either a scam or a very poorly bred dog. They are costly to import and purchase for a good breeding program and costly to raise. A needed C-section is $5000-$10,000 depending on the needs /complications/State location of surgery. Not all Shiba's require a C section but It can and does happen. Brucellosis testing is $200-$300 a dog every time they are tested. I could list many expenses but I am sure you get the point. Good breeders have costs in their dogs they acquire, healthy, and maintain, Vaccines, worming, food, supplements, heartworm prevention, flea, and tic, equipment list goes on, etc. and most do it as a passion for the breed with very little if any profit in the end. For they don't have enough litters produced and are not mass-produced to make a profit. Often donate pups they have produced to a good cause like PTSD and Therapy dogs to those in need this is for the love of the breed of these breeders. Understand this when you are looking for a breeder.
