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

Today’s plan was to explore Osceola National Forest with Sophia Zhang, Tsubaki & her friend Corey with Rudy. Unfortunately it was closed so I suggested that we go to Olustee Battlefield (3 for 3 on this trip haha) as it was free, open, & has nice trails.
As we started unloading my circus car the park ranger pulls up to us & greets us. He then invited us, dogs included to join him on a walking history tour with some other people. He was dressing in his historically accurate soldier uniform & would story tell the history of the Olustee battle.

What we learned on our guided tour:
Olustee was the 2nd bloodiest Civil War battle after Gettysburg. The Union lost 75 percent of their 5,000 (estimated) soldiers.
The battle was fought on a homestead. The land didn’t look as it does today. It was cleared of trees & was just a wide open space. They evacuated the owners & slaves when the fight started.
The cemetery was for the homestead’s slaves. The relatives are still buried there today. Only they can use the cemetery.
There’s a lot of dead bodies still there. When last year’s hurricanes came through they ripped out 30 trees. Archaeologist came & found bones of potential soldiers. They don’t allow digging due to this as well as dangerous mortars that could still be active.

The dogs sad hi to the people who were the reason the tour happened. Brently clearly was very deprived & needed all the attention 😂

We were told to check out Olustee Battlefield & it had some really nice trails! We enjoyed a 2 mile hike through the scrub. This is a historical site with the main trail giving information about this particular Civil War battle. I had to get a picture of the dogs in front of the historical landmark as I thought it was a very nicely put together memorial even though I don’t agree with it.

The history aspect of the location was interesting. I like history much more as an adult than a high schooler so I enjoying finding old historical sites even though the information might be uncomfortable. I know this is not a popular belief but I believe in preserving history but not promoting false narratives. Own up & acknowledge the sh*tty things our ancestors did.
Unpopular opinion - keep the confederate memorials/artifacts/monuments/historical sites but also put up memorials/monuments/information next to them explaining WHY they were wrong & HOW we must do better. Instead of destroying historical significance use it as a teaching moment & give the information to promote love, kindness, compassion, & a better tomorrow. We can’t learn without examples. We shouldn’t water down or bury history because it makes us uncomfortable or angry. Let it rear its ugly head as a reminder. Let us be better.

While the youngins prefer the rough & tumble aspect of their vacation. The old biddies prefer the elegant & sophisticated activity of p*eing everywhere in the yard that doesn’t belong to them (please don’t ask them to p*e in their yard, that’s disgusting) followed by the much needed sunbathing in the hot Florida sun.

I know I’ll never find anyone who’ll love me as much as she does. Driving for 2 hours & forty minutes, I’d randomly feel her staring at me & I’d glance over to see her just lovingly watching me drive. It hurts my heart that she’s getting older as I cannot imagine my life without her.
Who else is going to stare at me like this while I drive? Who else will love me as unconditionally as she does?

Wallen loves going to work with me MorgueMade to visit Allison. What he doesn’t love is all the taxidermy 😂💀 it scares him. Hopefully one day he’ll brave enough to not let it phase him. Until then he’ll visit in a state of confusion.

Happy 1st birthday to my problem child! Wallen is really living up to his bad boy name sake 💀 maybe I should have gave him a different name 😂
I can’t believe he was born a year ago, the last puppy born. Oh how I was holding my breath & hoping for a girl. I won’t deny, I was disappointed that all of them were boys 😂
But this boy just loves life & has never met a stranger human & animal. He’s fully of non stop chaotic energy that keeps things… interesting & is always up for an adventure. I haven’t decided if he’s smart or missing a couple brain cells as for him, the pendulum definitely swings back & forth leaving me scratching my head.
We went on a mini morning adventure to downtown Tarpon Springs as it was only 10 minutes away to celebrate his birthday.
Here’s to many more & hopefully some slowing down 😂

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 .

My name is Alexis Amerosa, I started showing dogs at 17 years old in 2010 guided by Celeste Robinette of Sunshine Samoyeds. Celeste showed me the ropes of handling, grooming & whelping. I received a Samoyed puppy from Celeste in 2010 whom I named Chi. Chi & me had some success – the most notable thing accomplished was Winners Bitch as a regional specialty! It was her first major & the first points I’ve won! After six years of wanting a Shiba I finally got what I longed for – a black & tan Shiba bitch! I’m freshly started in my Shiba Inu journey – with the Leslie Anderson being my guide & mentor of all things Shiba.

I’ve met several lovely people in the Shiba breed giving me the opportunity to participate in some amazing experiences. I was able to go to the NIPPO Grand National in Hiroshima in 2015 thanks to Yumi Hagiwara. I was able to meet a couple of breeders & their dogs as well as talk to a highly respected NIPPO judge. I was also able to not only attend the NIPPO Grand National in 2016 but also participated in showing a young bitch named Beni owned by Yosh*to Wantanabe. We placed 8th in the class and received a Yuuryou (an excellent rating)! I can never thank Yosh*to enough for his kindness & this great honor!

I’m also very involved with purebred dog education – I volunteer for meet the breed booths and have even done dog bite prevention presentations at my job (a local private school.) I feel the best way to educate is to make people fall in love with what you’re trying to teach. My dogs love the attention & I love to talk about one of my favorite subjects – dogs!
