Meet the breeder
I'm Holly N., the breeder behind Hana Shibas located in Zionsville, IN. We are dedicated to finding the right home for our puppies because of our intense love for the breed and especially their parents Roya and Roshi.

Q. & A. with Holly
Why did you start breeding?
Our parents Roya and Roshi are full time lovers! They have beautiful personalities and are just stunning. We frequently would have people stop us to ask about their origins and how they could adopt one. So we decided to give back to he breed.What makes your program special?
We are small and only allow 1 litter per year. Our puppies are treasured and treated as such which fosters a unique relationship between Shiba and owner.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter and program updates
Holly N.
Litter update on 24 Mar •…Here they are hanging out with me, Roya and Roshi. Roshi is definitely trying to play with them but they are just a little bit unsure still. All three of my male Shibas have socialized (under supervision) with them though my biggest Terre is a big chicken and just barks and runs away. 😂🙄😂 Notice New York is the first to stand her ears up all the time 👏🏻❤️ Can't wait for their little tails to curl. On a puppy it is too cute. On potty training note they are using the designated area (turf to simulate grass) when in the pen. When outside of the pen I have training pads out (disposable and the washable) and they are pretty good about using them already.

Roshi and Roya's litter
Holly N.
Litter update on 23 Mar •…In case you have never seen thus behavior from a Shiba.... Stubborn when they want. This was Roya as a puppy when she didn't want to walk anymore and wanted to be carried. The breed is famous for this when they are adolescents.
Roshi and Roya's litter
Holly N.
Litter update on 23 Mar •…Played until they literally all fell asleep. Introduced things that made crinkle sounds today. Big hit. No tissue paper or feathers were consumed.... Shibas love a lot of cat toys like the sticks with feathers or the long crinkle stretchy fabric. It engages the hunting/chasing instinct. However, they tend to destroy the toy very fast as they are quite athletic and will rip it right off the tether. Also don't get the catnip... My solution is cat laser pointers (don't shine in eyes obviously) but mine will chase it until they drop. Will also chase it right in the house if they escape outside (you need to have a plan for how to handle this with training) or crate if they are being willful and not listening.
Roshi and Roya's litter

Litter update on 22 Mar •…1 month old! They have had second dewormer already and we have started the transition on potty training to artificial turf. Their baby teeth are coming in nicely too. Walking around playing with siblings and teething toys too. For food we are on mom's milk but more ever day eating wet canned puppy food (Purina Pro Plan for puppy chicken or turkey). They haven't made the move to Hills puppy dry food yet but I keep trying ;)
