Uncle Dexter keeping a close eye on a days-old Shiba puppy

Welcome to SunoJo Kennels, we hope you find this website helpful in learning more about Shiba Inu and Japanese Chin (Spaniel). We are long-term, serious fanciers that have been involved with purebred dogs over 30 years - our goal in breeding dogs is to be respectful of their heritage; progressive in the breeds' development; and particular in placing our dogs with responsible families. Please visit About to learn more about us.

We breed 2 to 3 litters of Shibas every year, and very occassionally a litter of Chin. We select our breeding stock and raise each puppy as a future champion - but we can't keep every one, so pet/companion puppies of excellent quality are available to approved homes.

Please consider carefully all aspects of adding a dog to your life: the cost, exercise, training, time, and the emotional investment. We hope you enjoy your visit, and that you find information here that enhances your knowledge of Shiba Inu and Japanese Chin.
