Home of Shiba Inus – Certified Breeder

WELCOME TO THE HOME OF SHIBA INUS

A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF OUR KENNEL

Hello I am James Watson Owner and Manager of Home of Shiba Inus and I have been breeding , raising and researching on Shiba Inu Puppies for over 15 years now. I currently breed and raise Shiba Inu Puppies in my Home with the help of my wife and 3 kids. They basically help raise them, and also with customer service, but I am fully responsible for the selection, crossing and breeding process.

My approach to breeding is concerned mainly with raising Shibas with overall robust health and sound temperaments. I do this by adhering closely to the breed standard, carefully screening prospects for health, temperament and conformation excellence. Breed type is important because it defines how a dog is designed to function best in everyday life. Shibas were originally bred as independent hunting dogs, leading hunters to prey. This requires reliable, independent intelligence, and the physical stamina to run up and down mountainous terrain all day.
I have studied Shiba Inu pedigrees extensively and have observed the breed firsthand over the past 17 years to develop my breeding program. I consider myself a breed specialist, rather than a breeder because my goal is to produce a few very good dogs of this venerable breed, rather than recklessly increasing the already burgeoning canine population that is currently filling the kill shelters around the world.
Preserving the essence of the breed is my passion. As an active member of the NSCA, AKC, and California BSA, a Japanese Nippo club, I show only the dogs I consider to be the best examples of the breed. Showing is very expensive and time consuming, but because I have used these experiences as investments in increasing my overall knowledge of the breed, I’ve been able to demonstrate this knowledge on an international level. I also do extensive DNA and health testing to promote healthy and happy puppies with each breeding.
I carefully screen my pet homes, and do not sell my dogs for breeding purposes. I raise my litters in my home, and spend every day house training and conditioning the puppies to adapt easily to their new homes. They are socialized extensively inside and outside of my home, going on car trips and being introduced to new people, new experiences and other animals. If for ANY reason an owner cannot keep their puppy or adult dog, it is required that the dog be returned to Home of Shiba Inu Home.

WHY WE LOVE SHIBA INUS, AND WHY YOU SHOULD GET ONE

My enduring love for the Shiba Inu was born at first sight, and has only grown stronger over the last 17 years. Their big dog attitude, intelligence and energy contained in their compact size make them ideal companions for an active lifestyle of hiking, running and traveling. Their clean lines, fox like, natural beauty, richly colored coats and signature Shiba smile are constantly charming. Their sunny nature lifts my spirits when they greet me carrying a favorite toy, and their independent intelligence challenges me to work with them taking advantage of their versatility and loyalty to create a strong companion relationship.

A FEW REASONS WHY SHIBA INU’S ARE LOVED GENERALY

Is conveniently-sized, sturdy, and strong : Not too small not to big, they have the ideal size and physical characteristics to fit in any home or enviroment, they are good in the snow, same as in the summer, small apartments or farms , or wilderness. And they are physically very strong and would not easily get injured.
Has a wolf-like (spitz) appearance, with prick ears, foxy face, thick coat, and curled tail : Their distinct and charming physical appearances make them a rare gem in a world full of lookalike dogs.
Is energetic, bold, and spirited : They would lift your mood and those of other animals around by wanting to socialize at all times and would gladly engage in activities with you, outdoor or indoor.
Is smart and clever : If you are a determined owner, you can train them to be what ever you want them to be. They are little geniuses and very courageous.
They do not Bark : They might throw a temper tantrum when offended but sure would never disturb anyone’s Quiet or Peace.

TESTIMONIALS (CUSTOMER REVIEWS)

WHAT OUR HAPPY SHIBA INU FAMILY THINKS OF US

I would like to take the time to thank Home of Shiba Inus for their excellent service. We purchased our Shiba Inu (Moose) and could not be happier with the service we received. Levy went above and beyond to ensure we were in the best of hands. They provide all the necessary paperwork needed and leave you as worry free as can be during the entire process. They look for the best homes possible for their Shiba, and it just makes you appreciate them so much more for that. Moose is healthy, happy and we couldn't be more in love with him. Thank you!

My family and I had a wonderful experience working with Home of Shiba Inus . We were referred to Levy from a breeder in PA. He was very knowledgeable and made sure to find the right fit for our family. I was a little hesitant having a puppy shipped , but Home of Shiba Inus made sure it was a smooth process. Yuki is a healthy, intelligent, and athletic dog and she is the perfect fit for our family. She enjoys playing with our cats and kids, running through the snow, and cuddling with our Siberian Husky, Fleury.

After our first conversation with Levy. It was clear to us that Levy was not only a breeder of Shiba Inus, but indeed, a breed specialist. He has devoted her life to breeding a quality of Shiba Inu that we felt had been long lost on other breeders. Their Shibas are perfect in size, stature and proportion, and their temperaments are keen, clever, and always playful. It is pure joy to be awakened each day by a wagging tail with a toy of choice clenched in his mouth, anxious for our approval, all while he has that twinkle of pride in his eyes, and that famous Shiba smile! Kita has been a part of our family for nearly four months now, and everyday he amazes us with his outgoing personality and clever antics. He is very, very fond of children, and even babies, and is always eager to meet new people. Of course, he is always thrilled to meet new dogs and cats too! He is brilliant as well, learning new commands with ease and eagerness. He has an innate need to please us, brimming with that pride when he learns a new trick or command and receives lots of praise. We cannot think of a single thing we would change in his behavior. His personality is utterly engaging and magnetic, and quite frankly, we simply cannot stop admiring how truly beautiful he is, inside and out. He is a darling companion, happy to keep us company, whether we’re at rest, or out for a long leisurely walk or hike. Sam has indeed captured the epitome of what we have always thought the Shiba Inu should be – outgoing, delightful personalities, with a patient, affectionate, and sociable temperament, as well as being fully sound in health. We are thankful everyday for having been given the privilege to adopt one of these pint size companions from Home of Shiba Inusthat are so incredibly precious.

When I decided 10 years ago to finally bring a dog into my life I gave it great thought. I had 5 kids and this was not going to be a dog for them it was going to be a dog for mom. Because I consider a dog a family member. I spent a year discovering what breed would be right for me and my family. Then I started the task of finding the breeder. one that had a few litters a year, raised the puppies in the home and was more concerned that they were great family members first and show dogs second. We found that breeder in Home of Shiba Inus. Not only are my shibas in excellent health, they are loving, friendly and wonderfully behaved. Levy has also been such a vital source of information for me on not only dog behavior but dog health. When I do have a question she has guided me to good solutions that save me trips to the vet and the dog trainer. Home of Shiba Inus is like a family for shiba lovers, waste no time and join us.
