Meet the breeder

I'm Barbara L., the breeder behind Magnum Shiba Inus located in Lynnwood, WA. Just 20 miles North of Seattle, we enjoy AKC Conformation and Performance Sports with our Shiba Inus. We have litters occasionally, planning the best breeding with the intention of keeping a show or event prospect. Quietly Progressive since 1992.

Q. & A. with Barbara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began showing and training dogs, at the age of 12, in a dog 4-H Club. This passion has never left. In 1992, I saw my first Shiba Inu. I was taken by their fox like look, high intelligence, cleanliness and cat-like behavior. After acquiring and showing my first Shiba Inu's, I wanted to move forward with a show puppy of my own breeding. This is how it all began.
  • What makes your program special?

    I have very few litters, only breeding when my intention is to keep a puppy for my future show or event prospect. My dogs are members of my family, first and foremost.
  • 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 guardian homes.

  • Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • 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.

  • Full Embark Panel

    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).

    We enjoyed working with Barbara immensely. Our puppy was almost house broken when we took him home, and he's a very calm, confident dog. Barbara helped us with things like finding puppy food, and investigating training facilities. She was always timely with her responses, and provided us with everything we could ask for. We would wholeheartedly recommend Barbara to anyone wanting a nice Shiba puppy. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, or a nicer person to work with.

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
