Meet the breeder
I'm Michael C., the breeder behind Anko Shibas located in Meridian, ID. Mica and Fox are our family dogs. They live in our house, they sleep on our furniture, and their puppies are raised in the middle of all of it, handled every day by two adults and a child. Both parents are Embark DNA tested and clear. Mica is clear on all 215 conditions Embark screens for. Fox is clear on 209 of 210. Both are clear of GM1 gangliosidosis, the inherited storage disease this breed carries, which kills affected puppies before their first birthday. You get both reports in full. Every puppy leaves with a veterinary exam, first vaccination, deworming, a microchip registered in your name, a written contract, and the food and bedding they already know. You have 72 hours for your own veterinarian to examine the puppy, and if something serious turns up in writing, you get all of your money back. If your circumstances ever change, at any point in this dog's life, the dog comes back to us. There is no time limit on that. The puppies are registered with the Continental Kennel Club. They are not eligible for AKC registration, because Fox is CKC registered only, and we tell every buyer that before they pay anything. You are welcome to meet both parents before you decide.
Q. & A. with Michael
Why did you start breeding?
Through our own two dogs rather than through a kennel. Mica and Fox are pets first, and everything we do is built around that.What makes your program special?
Both parents live in our home and you can meet them. Both are DNA tested and clear, including GM1. Every puppy goes home with a written contract, a veterinary exam, a microchip registered to you, a 72 hour window for your own vet, and a take-back promise that never expires.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Shiba Inu
About Fox
Fox is our red urajiro Shiba, born August 2, 2020. He's the goofy one in the house and, unusual for a Shiba, he loves to play fetch and will bring the ball back again and again. He is registered with the Continental Kennel Club (CKC SN-05394479). He lives with us as a family dog, not in a kennel.

Shiba Inu
About Mica
Mica is our black and tan Shiba, born November 9, 2019. She started out as our family dog, and after a few years with another family she came back home to us in 2026. She's the calm, classic Shiba of the pair: reserved with strangers and happy to ignore them, and relaxed and affectionate with her own people. She is AKC registered (NP57616804) and also CKC registered (SN-05427804). Because Fox is CKC only, this litter is registered with the CKC, not the AKC.

Parent health testing
Great level
Anko Shibas reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shiba Inu.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
