Meet the breeder

I'm Marilyn P., the breeder behind Kayobi Shibas located in Winthrop, MN. I have been showing and breeding Shibas since 1997. My dogs are health and genetic tested. I breed for friendly outgoing personalities and socialize the puppies with cats and kids as well as common household noises.

Q. & A. with Marilyn

  • What makes your program special?

    With over 35 years in dogs I have a lot of experience! I have attended many seminars on health, breeding and training. I strive to produce a shiba that is correct to the standard and has a friendly outgoing personality necessary to make a great family pet.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, red, black and tan, and sesame. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

  • 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.

  • GM1 Gangliosidosis (GLB1), Shiba Inu Type

    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).
