We hope your visit will be both enjoyable and educational as you meet our Shiba Inu. We are not a large kennel, we do not supply puppies on demand (nor do we want to!). Our dogs are shown in Canada and occassionally in the US, and are screened for hips, eyes, heart, and knees. We are located on Vancouver Island, in Beautiful British Columbia (Canada), and yes, we ship internationally. Click on Puppy Page for available dogs and upcoming litters, information about us, our breeding philosophy, prices and terms, and how we raise our puppies.

About UsOur 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)My Akita friends still can't believe I have foo-foo dogs, but their sweet personalities and ease of care have won me over entirely. 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 are not breeders - the occassional litter (the puppies pictured at left are our 3rd in 10 years) is for our enjoyment. As time goes on, we may breed more often, but at the moment we do not have any dogs available. |
