I'm Krissy S., the breeder behind Coquina Shibas located in Tallahassee, FL. I strive to produce outstanding puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments. My breeding dogs are CHIC certified in canine health to ensure that I am producing quality pups. I hand-raise each of my puppies to ensure a reliable temperament and cherished companionship. I am passionate about my work and look forward to connecting with wonderful families.
Q. & A. with Krissy
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been invested in the well-being of animals. I wanted to give back to the breed by breeding healthy pups and placing them into loving homes. I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; that today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Shiba Inu. My goal is to not only produce beautiful puppies but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Shiba Inu will continue to thrive for generations to come.
What makes your program special?
I truly love the Shiba Inu breed and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to adopt one of these wonderful dogs. I'm very dedicated to what I do and what I am trying to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Shiba Inu line.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
