Q. & A. with Lindsay
Why did you start breeding?
We want to do our part to better the breed. Our breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of these breeds while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior intelligence, working ability, performance ability, beauty, and temperament.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention we give to every detail of the journey. We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Shiba Inu puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
