About
Us
Our entry
into the world of purebred dogs was made in 1974 with Akitas -
large, majestic, loving, intelligent, protective... you can tell we are
prejudiced! Akitas are also a demanding breed - to own an Akita requires
strength, patience and commitment. In today's society, we feel there are
fewer and fewer people able to make that commitment, and with litters
of 8, 10 or 12 puppies, finding the right homes is very challenging. Consequently,
we are no longer breeding Akitas.
In 1986,
the delightful breed known as the Shiba Inu joined our family -
lively, fun loving, smart. Our activities have included conformation showing,
some obedience, some agility, public relations, breed seminars, rescue,
and club activities.
Pictured
at left is our last Akita - Cdn Champion 24 Karet Gold "Karet"
- one of the few import X domestic Akitas shown to their championship
in Canada. This picture was taken Dec 06, at 11.5 years of age. Her little
friend is "Truly" - Cdn Ch. SunoJo's Too Good To Bee True.

Japanese
Chin (Japanese Spaniel in Canada)
Yes - I've been promising
a page just for the Chin for ages.... soon, soon.
A far cry for Akitas
and Shibas - the Chin are the opposite in many respects - small, fragile,
constant shedding, delicate eaters, prey for ravens, eagles and large
cats. But so similar in many ways - cat like in their cleanliness, loyal,
loving, a certain attitude at times, and they all share a love of sushi.
This is NOT a breed
for those who want an active, outdoor dog - Chin need a gentle, loving
home where they can share every facet of your life, your couch, your bed.
We have not been "breeders" - in over 12 ears we have had 3
litters, and kept most of them (thank goodness they have small litters!).
We attended the 2nd
National Specialty in Calgary on Aug 4, and very proud to report that
our Chin team did very well. Pixie is now Can Ch SunoJo's The Devil Wears
Prada, little sister SunoJo's Fachinista picked up a couple of big wins,
mom Truly (Can/Am Ch SunoJo's Too Good To Bee True) was Best of Opposite
Sex, and dad Denzel won the Specialty and also picked up a Group 2nd to
add to his impressive record.
We are proud to announce
the arrival of a litter of 4 black & white babies (3 girls and 1 boy),
sired by BISS/multi BIS Can/Am Ch Touche Arkeno's Man On Fire (known as
Denzel), out of Alijon's Its All About Mia (Mia). There will be ONE available
to a pet home (since I am assuming they can't all be show dogs!). Please
note that I will NOT ship a Chin puppy anywhere - and there are very strict
conditions in being considered "Chin-worthy".
