Boomlay Shiba

Boomlay Shiba Located in Florida. Sharing the adventures, daily life, and my musings on the Shiba Inu. I focus on temperament, structure, and type – in that order.

Boomlay is a up-and-coming Shiba Inu kennel located in Tampa, Florida, specializing in versatile AKC and NIPPO registered Shiba Inu. I strive to produce mentally sound Shiba with balanced structure and a good work ethic. I not only show my dogs in conformation but I also participate in performance events with my dogs including Barn Hunt, Fast CAT/CAT, AKC’s Trick Dog, AKC’s Canine Good Citizen, Ra

lly as well as training for agility. Our goal is to preserve & promote the Shiba Inu as the breeders in Japan intended the Shiba to be. Our dogs are raised with other animals including other dogs, cats, rabbits & birds (budgies, pigeons, ducks). Socialization and good genetics is key. The dogs travel to wherever dogs are allowed, making them more well rounded and less likely to develop fears or phobias. Our Shiba are health tested before breeding – eyes, hips, & patellas are OFA certified. I’m a member of the Heart Of Dixie Shiba Fanciers, the National Shiba Club of America, Nihonken Hozonkai (NIPPO), and the Florida Cracker Horse Association

I don’t really share too much about me personally here because to be honest, I’m not as cool, exciting, or as cute as my dogs. But I realized something yesterday on my birthday. I turned 32 years old. I’ve been showing dogs since I was 16. My 32nd year on this planet marked that I spent HALF of my life being involved with dogs! It’s absolutely mind boggling.
But I wanted to share some doggy accomplishments I have achieved in 16 years.
Showed a Shiba named Beni at the Grand National & placing (2016)
Got an article published in the AKC Gazette in 2022
Had Nekora get on the news to promote the AKC Meet the Breeds in 2022. I was also in charge of the booth.
Have the first Shiba to get the FCAT title (Nekora) in 2018.
Had Delilah score a 97 on a novice rally trial earning her the 2021 NSCA (National Shiba Club of America) Outstanding Rally Novice award.
Have 3 Shiba get awarded the NSCA versatile award.
Was the first person to be awarded the NSCA Educator’s award in 2023.
Guided Brently to 2 Best in Open shows, Astrid to a UKC reserve Best in show, & a UKC reserve best in show puppy.
Won Winner B*tch at a regional specialty for a major with my first show dog Chi, a Samoyed.
Got Nekora’s AKC championship & Grand Championship as an owner handler, including 4 majors for her Championship, & a regular group 4 as a class entry.
Been to Japan not once, but 4 times, my last trip was for 89 days! All thanks to dog connections.
Never had a man love me back but have had the privilege of having 6 dogs love me with their entire soul.

Last but not least - Wallen. My problem, wild child who knows no chill, just go go go. The prince of chaos and testing boundaries, literally a male version of Delilah. The universe said you barely survived the first, here’s a second 😂😅 He 100% lives up to his namesake which maybe I cursed us both with 💀😂
This little boy LOVES to show, so much so that he yips outside the ring until he goes in & when I took Delilah in without him he SCREAMED like he was being murdered. Once his brain matures a bit, he’ll definitely be a force to be reckoned with, even though he is black & tan.

PS. Yeah that boy can jump. Sadly it’s his default setting 😂

I only got movement photos of Delilah from Kayes Media . She’s matured into a great show dog, shame Black & Tans aren’t given more weight in the show ring.
Delilah is from my first ever litter, I use to think she inherited none of her mother’s grace but as she’s getting older, there’s a smidgen of it showing up. 😂 Her son has taken over as wild child who tests my patience daily, literally following his mother’s pawsteps 🙃

Nekora strutting her stuff at the veterans attraction at the Tampa show. I can’t believe she’s 11 years old 😭 She keeps up with the younger dogs, just at her own slow pace 😂 She’s always up for an adventure and is the best adventure buddy. She had a blast showing her little heart out, look at her hamming it up. We’ll keep showing in veterans as long as she’s able to.

Fun fact - Nekora was the first Shiba Inu to get the FCAT title.

While no dog is perfect, I cannot thank Leslie of LeSand/Akakiyosou Shiba enough for not only giving me my start with good structured (& tempered) dogs but taking the time to educate me about structure & opening my eyes to it.

While Wallen is a goofy 10 month old puppy, I am happy with how he is maturing. Thank you Krissy of Coquina Shiba Inu for letting me use Angus for Delilah so I can keep on going with well structured (& tempered) dogs. Three generations in merged into one picture. Photos were at the Tampa Shows by Kayes Media . Don’t worry, full photos to come, but I wanted to make this little combination piece because it makes me happy.

From the AKC standard:
Gait: Movement is nimble, light, and elastic. At the trot, the legs angle in towards a center line while the topline remains level and firm. forward reach and rear extension are moderate and efficient.

I want to preface this as I am very proud of Sophia (Tsubaki’s owner) for showing her first dog ever at the Tampa show. I asked her if she would want to show Astrid in the veterans ring as she was finally old enough and she LOVES showing. I also felt like this was super special since Astrid is Tsubaki’s mom.
Sophia literally got back from Japan a couple of days before the show, I gave her a quick 10 minute ring training session two days before the show, then threw her to the wolves 😅 Maybe I should be fired as a friend, haha.
Astrid had a BLAST, was she the best behaved? No, but it really did make her day, so that’s all I can ask for.
Did Sophia do her best? Yes, and she better watch out, she might have more handling in her future 😂
Am I proud of both of them & glad I entered? Duh, of course!
While Astrid is a little pudgy and blowing coat hard, I wasn’t not going to enter/take her. Our time is limited with our dogs, if I waited for the perfect moment we’d both be dead.

Another rainbow! It was fading fast but you can kinda see it in the background. Getting 5 dogs leashed & rushed to the golf course isn’t that easy 😂 at this time of day the seconds count as the rainbows fade away. Then to get them all to look or not eat grass is another feat itself.

Our Story

"Temperament, Structure, and Type – Kan-i, Ryosei, and Soboku." We are small, brand new Shiba Inu breeder located in Tampa, Florida, specializing in AKC & NIPPO registered Shiba Inus that excel in temperament, structure, & type – in that order. We not only show our dogs in conformation but we also participate in performance events with our dogs including Barn Hunt, Fast CAT/CAT, AKC’s Trick Dog, AKC’s Canine Good Citizen, as well as training for agility. Our dogs are raised with other animals including other dogs, cats & birds (budgies, pigeons, ducks) while being exposed to horses. All interactions are supervised. Our Shibas well socialized – I take them where ever dogs are allowed, making them more well rounded & “bomb proof” in unfamiliar places.

Our Shibas are health tested before breeding – we check eyes, hips, & patellas with OFA. Puppies are sold on spay/neuter contracts. Show puppies are sold on individual basis. Occasionally we may have older puppies or retired show dogs available to a loving home.

I’m a proud member of the National Shiba Club Of America and the Heart Of Dixie Shiba Fanciers – a small regional Shiba Inu club .
