Welcome to SunoJo Shiba Inu & Japanese Chin...

our goal in breeding dogs is to be respectful of their heritage while being progressive in the breeds' development, and particular in placing our dogs with responsible families .

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.

Shiba Inu
This small spitz breed native to Japan can be a wonderful companion, for those looking for a hardy, athletic dog that enjoys both outdoor activity and lounging on the couch. Includes information about the breed, our Shibas, and links to relevant websites.

Japanese Chin
This toy breed is also known as the Japanese Spaniel in Canada. "Toy breed" does not mean a plaything, but rather a small dog that requires indoor living and careful handling.

Akita
We have included a 'What Is An Akita' and 'Our Akitas' for information only. Our last litter was in 2000, it has been a long time since we have been involved in the breed. Please do not enquire about Akita puppies; we do NOT breed.
