Important Information About Shiba Inu's
Before you consider buying a Shiba, I recommend that you visit the following site. It is a great learning tool about the breed and how precious each one is. http://www.shibas.org/rescue.html
Whether you choose your new Shiba with me or someone else, please ask questions on the health of the puppy, temperament, etc. Here's some tips for choosing a good breeder.
Some things to look out for from a good breeder:
1) A good breeder will usually want to meet up with you, or interview you over the phone before selling you one of their puppies. The more questions the breeder asks you, the better, because that shows he/she cares what kind of home the puppy is moving to. I have every person fill out a puppy app and a spay/neutar contract.
2) A good breeder will show you the mother and father (if available) of the puppies and let you interact with them. The temperament of the parents are important because it will affect the temperament of the puppies. My Shiba's are like my children, indoor little personalities :) Both parents are here for you to meet when you set up an appointment with us.
3) A good breeder usually breeds from champion bloodlines, and will usually provide you with the puppy’s “family tree” that will contain several champions. My Shiba's are CKC and/or AKC registered. They are just as good as the other registries. Some even say CKC is Better in many ways.
4) A good breeder will have proper health certifications for the puppies’ parents. This will vary by breed, as different breeds will have different common genetic issues. My Shiba's come with UTD on shots, wormings, etc. You may also feel free to contact our veterinarian.
5) A good breeder will give you some kibble, a blanket that smells like the litter, and sometimes a crate and some toys. This will make the transition of homes easier for the puppy. The kibble and smelly blanket are especially important. Your new puppy pack from A Shiba Den include; all paperwork on registry, contracts, payment receipt, a NylaBone, collar and matching leash, a bag of puppy food and a nice soft blanky. A starter kit for your new family member :)
6) If possible, it is a good idea to get your puppy from a local breeder. A good local breeder will hook you up with local breed club activities, and will also be available to help you with puppy issues. My breeder also visits me from time to time, and we get to set up some fun play sessions with her dogs. We encourage local pick-up of our puppies for many reasons. One to meet the new owner ahead of time and two, so the new owner may visit both parents. We enjoy having other Shiba Lovers over for a visit. We also keep in touch with our Shiba puppies. It's amazing how many Shiba lovers there are that truly understand them. We also take back any puppy with no questions asked if the owners can not keep them anymore. We will then re-home them with little or no fee, depending on the circumstance.

If you would like to visit our family of Shiba's to see their peronalities etc, email me and I will arrange a time for you and your family to visit us.

All puppies have been sold to caring families as pet only. The cost of all puppies regaurdless of color, gender, etc. are $650. Which a $100 deposit to hold the puppy of your choice. We want to share the joy of the Shiba Inu Breed but not over populate the shelters by careless owners. All puppies are CKC registered and UTD on shots. No Puppy will be going to their new home untill 8 weeks of age. If you plan to breed the puppy you must sign an agreement that you wont inbreed etc. This is at a higher cost of $1300 with CKC registration as agreed upon by both parties. We like to meet the new owners to make sure the dog is suitable for the household. Also we have a buyer app and spay/neuter contract for new owners to fill out before they purchase the puppy in full. This is why we prefer local pick-up of the new puppy. Upon pick-up we take a "new beginning" picture for our scrapbook and records. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
