We started raising these wonderful bundles of love in 2008 and have grown our love for this breed into a small business. We take great pride in our customer service and will do our best to help you through the process of purchasing a puppy. We are easy to work with and look forward to hearing from you! All our puppies are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club on a non-breeding registration. Al
though the internet can list many downfalls about the breed we believe the Shiba Inu personality is all about the training. ABOUT THE SHIBA INU BREED
