Meet the breeder
I'm Bob S., the breeder behind JANUS Mudis & Toy Fox Terriers located in Benson, AZ. Bob Shailer & Phil Lasswell started breeding and exhibiting group winning and placing Chow Chows at AKC conformations shows in 1987 under the program name "JANUS". In 1991, we added Japanese Chins. We bred and exhibited group placing Chins. We owned the Top winning Japanese Chin in Canada in the early 90s. We also bred and raised champion Alpacas for 26 years. In 2013, we retired from Spokane to Benson, AZ (30 mile SE of Tucson). In 2019, we obtained our first black merle Mudi female, "Paige", who became the first Mudi to ever win Best In Show at a UKC show. She is a GCH CH Group placing bitch with AKC. We selectively breed to the best dogs possible with good depth of health screening. We do all the proper health testing for both breeds. Our dogs live in our home and travel in our RV to dog shows. They all swim in our pool and go for daily walks around the neighborhood. We want well socialized and sound dogs to live in the real world!
