    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!!!

    We are truly in love with our boy from Bonsai! We have a very chill and friendly 8 year old Shiba already, and we wanted a new family member before he becomes too old to appreciate a new puppy in his life. I've been searching through breeders for a couple years, and most fell short of expectations until I found this one. They have beautiful dogs of course, but what mattered most is a friendly, sociable, and sweet Shiba (if you know the breed, this REALLY is important), from very healthy lines and preferably raised in the home with lots of attention and care. Everything I had hoped for, and more were met by Jetta and her family. Every part of the process was well communicated, and the amount of puppy updates is impressive. She even recommended the parents that would most likely provide the temperment we were hoping for, and he is exactly what we dreamed of. The exposures they provide the puppies with have made training and working with him very easy, clipping nails, brushing, vaccuuming, car rides, being held, and puppy mouthing is almost all licks instead of bites. We've already taught him to sit, wait, lay down, give paw, spin in a circle, come when called. Even more bonus points since he came housebroken, not even one accident in the three weeks we've been with him. Our next puppy will 100% be from Bonsai as long as they are still growing potatoes when the time comes. We have our pefect little dude, and my big boy is like a puppy again when playing and chilling with his little bro. Even our vet loved him, and was deighted to see a Shiba that is so friendly and tolerant. We adore Kit, and are forever grateful for being matched up with him.

    Jetta is so easy to work with! She sent updates of my puppy all the time and answered any questions I had. I still brag to anyone who asks about how Bestie was taken care of before she came home. I now have a well loved and taken care of pup, a “bestie” if you will, who is growing strong and lively! I feel like I gained not only a new friend with Bestie, but with Jetta as well.

    Jetta was absolutely wonderful to work with! We already had one Shiba and had been looking for awhile to find the right breeder that we felt comfortable with adopting our second Shiba from. We were extremely fortunate in finding Jetta, who was very kind and helpful throughout the whole process. She made everything very smooth and provided updates and pictures along the way. Our little boy, Yoshi, is the perfect addition to our family. He has a wonderful temperament and fit in almost immediately with our four year old female Shiba and even our elderly cat. Yoshi is a smart, beautiful, and friendly little Shiba who came to us very healthy and happy. Jetta and the family at Bonsai Shibas clearly put so much knowledge, love, and care into raising their Shibas and I highly recommend them for anyone looking to adopt a Shiba into their family.

    Jetta was WONDERFUL, she made the process very easy. Regular updates, pictures and everything before I got Tofu, and after she still checks in from time to time seeing how everything is going. Amazing experience couldn't be happier.

    I had wanted this breed for such a long time, and we waited a while for the right moment to finally bring one home. We were so lucky to find such an amazing breeder like Jetta! She was absolutely wonderful, always supportive, answering all our questions, giving helpful recommendations, and staying in touch the whole time. From the moment our little Mojo was born until we picked him up at eight weeks, Jetta kept us updated and sent us photos, which made the whole experience so special. Bringing a puppy home is such a big and responsible decision, but having Jetta’s guidance made everything so much easier. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and can’t recommend her enough. Everything was open, transparent, and honest — no surprises at all. Our puppy, Mojo (son of Riyo and Moji), is the sweetest, smartest, and most charming little boy — so independent, adorable, and clever! We’re so happy and thankful for this wonderful journey❤️
