Great level

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), GM1 Gangliosidosis (GLB1), Shiba Inu Type, Full Embark Panel, 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).

    Jetta and Bonsaishiba are wonderful, we had the opportunity to bring two cute puppies to be part of our family thanks to them. Some months ago, Sakura arrived into our lives, a black and tan Shiba. Her personality is unique and fun; from the first day, Jetta kept us informed about her and her progress as she grew up. We wanted a new female puppy to keep Kyoto our first Shiba company :) Now they are best friends. Both are energetic, loyal and charismatic. If you are thinking of bringing a puppy to your house, Bonsaishiba is your best option.

    We had such a great experience with Bonsai Shibas. We were actually in touch with them for almost a year. At one point we were ready to adopt, but something came up on our end, and they were so nice about it. No pressure at all, just really patient and understanding, and they let us move forward when we were ready. When Whisky was born, they kept sending us photos and videos, which we loved. It made us feel connected to him even before bringing him home. They were already calling him “Whisky,” so he basically came to us knowing his name. He’s super well socialized. He knows how to play with cats, puppies, and dogs of all sizes. That helped a lot when we introduced him to our 2 year old Shiba Inu. He settled in really fast and is confident and playful. They also handled his flight, and we really appreciated that he was in cabin. They kept us updated the whole time and made sure he was okay, even bringing him to relief areas. When we met him, he was happy, playful, and honestly showed no signs of stress from the trip. We had a different experience with our first dog, so this really meant a lot. What we love most is that they don’t just treat this like a business, they really care. They still check in on Whisky and are always there if we have questions. We honestly feel so lucky we found them. They’re rare, and the whole experience was 100% worth it. Highly recommend.

    Jetta was extremely responsive from the very beginning, answering all my questions about the process and the puppies. She even reached out to other clients to ask about their dogs living in hot climates, as my husband had concerns about that. A few months later, when we were ready to officially start the process, she was once again amazing patiently replying to all our new questions and making us feel very comfortable. When we first contacted her, we were hoping for a Black and Tan female. However, at some point a beautiful sashige red was born. Once she confirmed that she was available, Jetta gave us all the time we needed to think it through. We decided to go for her, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Throughout the process, Jetta constantly sent us videos and photos. Sometimes I would even ask if she had more, and she would happily send extra updates. Pickup day went very smoothly, and once Nami and I were back home, my husband and I were truly amazed by all the love and work Jetta had put into her. We have cats, and Nami is incredibly well-behaved around them thanks to the way Jetta socialized her with her own cats. She was also already potty trained, which made everything so much easier for us. On top of that, she was crate trained an absolute game changer. We were also pleasantly surprised by how comfortable Nami is with handling. She allows me to touch and clean her paws and do light grooming with very little complaint (and surprisingly little Shiba Inu drama!), which really shows how much early care and desensitization she received. To this day, I keep thanking Jetta for all the love and dedication she put into raising Nami. If we (hopefully in the future) decide to get a second Shiba Inu, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to contact Jetta again. I still send her updates and photos of Nami and all her adventures in her new home.

    Jetta was really responsive and worked with us while we lived a state away. We got him recognizing his name, doing pretty well with potty breaks, chipped, and with his first round of vaccines! He's even helped socialize our son's dog! If you get a Shiba here, expect them to be very intelligent, energetic, and with distinct personalities! Satoshi learned "sit" and "come here" really quickly, and he learned to deal with more anxious dogs very well.

    Jetta is the absolute best! We first got Loki - a red girl - and fell absolutely in love we got our second dog, Milky Way - a black and tan boy - and are so happy with the two of them. Jetta was always so responsive and would give us constant updates about our puppies. Couldn’t recommend BonsaiShibas anymore - the absolute best!!!
