I am not like your average breeder I am NOT A KENNEL and do not believe in the raising of man's best friend this way. NOR DO WE EVER PLACE OUR PUPPIES WITH ANOTHER BREEDER WITH BREEDING RIGHTS,  OR WITHOUT THE REQUIREMENT OF SPAYING OR NEUTERING TO ALL FAMILIES PLEASE NOTE THIS NO EXCEPTIONS.

Every one of Our Shiba is a full-time family member. All our adult dogs live in the home full-time. Some of our dogs live with and are owned by family members and extremely close friends and are still a part of our breeding program. when we do a planned litter They ALL COME TO ME to be bred and stay with me to whelp and raise the litters when and if a litter is planned. But are owned and loved by their families. I do have several who are with me full-time 100% of course!  Females retire after no more than 4 litters and are then placed in a forever home on a spay contract. They have lived with a family so are ready to be someone's house dog when retired and are also crate trained. Our males stay as long as they are producing and doing well for my males are the greatest asset to my program and all are amazing in temperament and breeding. Feel free to inquire about Shiba's we may have slotted for a home and will be retiring. I love to see them go to a home needing PTSD or therapy dogs when I can.

​

We very frequently screen our dogs for Brucellosis and have never had a dog test positive thank goodness, Me being a  Vet Tech I often do the Rapid test but also do have the Vet run now and then. Make sure your breeder is testing for this now and then this is  VERY IMPORTANT. NOTE all pups born to a female who is positive will also be positive if they survive, and have major health issues, but can also be very silent in a nonbreeding dog and this is a major health threat to his/her humans and other dogs in the household who are unaware they have been exposed. It is on the rise and very serious and transferable to humans very serious. It is /saliva/fecal transferable those humans with the closest contact are at a higher risk of infection. Be sure your breeder is testing for this for it is VERY IMPORTANT and often overlooked by breeders or they are not aware of this serious infection that can have absolutely no symptoms. NOTE all pups born to a female who is infected will often be infected the infection is not treatable as far as a cure and is for the life of the dog.

Breeders with many dogs and who do outside stud services are more at risk.  We do not do outside stud service that is not done without AI and PPE in place. We do not do Stud service with any of our Shibas sorry. No contact is made with the dogs. Also, a negative Brucellosis test is required of any females brought to me for breeding for my own health risk. This is only to my Siberian whom I have only bred a couple of times to outside ladies. This test is expensive but so worth it!!! One line negative the single line is the control line verifies the test is working properly and two lines would be a positive never had even a questionable dog ever.

NOTE:  PLEASE CONTACT US FOR UPCOMING PLANNED breedings AND EXPECTED LITTERS  they are limited for we are hobby breeders. We only breed when we want a planned litter. We can gladly provide you with References to those who have worked with us and have our dogs if you would like.

  We are breeding for structure and temperament first. Not commercial breeders. We are passionate about the breed and breed for the breed. All Reputable breeders breed for the overall benefit of the breed for health, structure, and temperament not commercially (meaning not having more than just a couple of litters per year and having more than just a few adult dogs). color is secondary to health and structure and temperament. I have focused on the temperament of my dogs. I want to create a Shiba Inu who is a joy to live with and as responsive to his/her people as possible for the breed. I want them to be highly socialized for this can be a problem with the breed if they are not raised underfoot and handled all day.

Several of our dogs most of them are from Exquisite top Japanese NIPPO Import Champion lines.  I have selected with research and knowledge of the breed with longevity structure and health as our only focus. When we have a litter we are breeding for good structure as I have knowledge of what to look for in the breed but Health and temperament are our absolute top focus.  With Shiba Inus, we have really focused on their temperament. We only have a few Shiba's Inus. This makes for a tight selective breeding program, so we have been extremely selective in the dogs we have chosen.

We do require that we speak with you over the phone before you get on our waitlist for one of our Shiba Inu dogs. How we place our dogs is a top priority this is our mission and we can be selective. For we put so much energy into raising them properly and right.  We need to get to know you and you need to get to know us. I would be seriously skeptical about any breeder with a PayPal button on their site or a pay your deposit now button. Yes, I have seen this! Dogs are family, not a buy-now product.  I want to be able to talk to anyone interested in one of my dogs becoming a family member or a working dog for them. I want you to ask me questions. I want to make sure this breed is the right fit for you. Makes for a happier dog who is more understood, and a happy family who is better informed and prepared. 
Thank you for your understanding~ 

We do invite you to visit us if you like, but it can be hard for we are on the road a lot with our Frontline Equipment business So we visit all over Oregon, WA, Arizona in Yuma and Pheonix, Idaho, and California for we are on the road as RV'rs at this time for many months, but often are staged in Oregon or Redding CA for puppy pick up when permitted and if I have a planned litter,  but in the winter Redding CA, San Clemente, etc,  or even sometimes pups are picked up when we are on the road because we do travel a lot, so you are welcome to visit the dogs.  If you want a specific pick-up area, you can most definitely wait for that litter just know litters are limited. Please Only if you are serious about having one of our dogs as family members do we allow visits. We do not open our home to just everyone. More foot traffic here can put our dogs at risk for the disease being brought into our home or RV when traveling. We have a no-shoe policy for ourselves and visitors and limit foot traffic to close family and friends as visitors inside our home and RV this works for us. So those who are serious about our dogs and want to be put on our waiting list for a Shiba Inu you may visit in person, but all dogs will be shown to you outside our home /RV we do not allow anyone in our RV  or home just puts our dogs at too many risks and now with COVID, I am high risk with having skin cancer just not worth it. Also, note we do not allow anyone to touch our dogs when they visit only view them. Just too many risks for diseases and many people are doing kennel visits when shopping for a breeder this is just way too risky for diseases to be brought into our dogs and newborns and young pups. This is a must it is about our dogs and their health of them. I have never had a case of parvo or serious illness in my dogs ever so I am doing something right. Absolutely no exceptions and we do have a few other rules to a visit. Thank you for your understanding in helping us protect our dogs from the disease being brought in.

With the demands of the dogs, I am producing I held tight standards when I purchased Shiba Inus to add to my program which is my foundation to progress forward with. The temperaments of the dogs are so important and structure is right there for longevity and health. this is a breed that breeders have not put enough focus on temperament in an effort to make a beautiful dog. Temperament gets lost if not one of the primary focuses. One thing you will find is many Shiba Inu temperaments are in the genetics of the dog,  poor breeding, and not selecting for temperament results in poor temperament  Shiba Inu's, so it took time to find the right dogs with the whole package I was looking for. This and health are my first concern, not the dog's color. I do not breed for color and even have chosen the stunning cream Shiba Inu based on temperament and health mine have top NIPPO Japanese lines as well, Though this is a fault in the show ring as per the color this is not a concern for me for I am breeding for the breed and not limiting on the color I find it ridiculous as with other breeds of dogs my focus is to produce healthy dogs, stunning example structurally and great family members. I am breeding for the best temperaments I can produce in this breed and have selected my dogs along with the bloodlines I have been waiting for for so long. Temperament/health and looks not color as a top focus and my breeding program. I am very proud of my breeding program. I  absolutely must make dogs that are trainable and with good temperaments for the work, many of my pups go on to do PTSD and service dogs for many grow up to perform coming from my breeding.

'

 If approved you are welcome to get on our waiting list at any time. The time frame to produce a  pup for you can not be guaranteed as litter size gender and color is mother nature's call. It is very rare that we do not have a waiting list for our pups and most will be sold once they are born and people waiting are notified. I will say most good breeders will have people waiting.
Litter size can vary from 1-5 pups.  We reserve the right to pick a puppy of any litter produced if needed at any time this may be for us personally or special needs selection takes priority if a dog is a stand out for this as this is our purpose of breeding I do not breed just to produce litters ever I am looking for a specific dog to add to my program to replace one or to create a requested service dog/PTSD/Therapy This may not be every litter but understand these picks must take priority this is my passion and my purpose for having a litter I do not just breed litters to have a litter. Not being a commercial breeder rarely do breeders like me even break even, though I don't care this is my hobby and passion I love it. It is our passion and we take our purpose seriously. This Shiba Inu makes a great small Therapy dog. They are loyal and loving, easy to care for, and with a great temperament behind them are an excellent choice for those wanting a smaller PTSD/Therapy dog. They can be stubborn but are highly intelligent.

​

* NOTE: Please understand this breed is costly to raise and can require a C-section and they often have small litters C Sections are very expensive They can be $8,000-$10,500 depending on complications and location and timing of the C-section. They often can have a small litter so there is a lot of outgo and money put into this hobby just in the delivery of the pups when required, Vet Care, proper feeding high-quality food/probiotics/goat milk, vaccines, and health, flea and tick monthly treatment on all dogs all add up fast! YIKES. Once again most hobby breeders don't breed as often due to expense and time.
