Q. & A. with Ashlee
Why did you start breeding?
It was almost an accident! I have a purebred Shiba, I met up with my friend from 20 years ago, who has a purebred Shiba female, and they fell in love.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is beyond a program. My dogs are raised in my home, they are athletic, have small litters of about 3 pups, they go everywhere with us, they are family. My best friend is a veterinarian, and he ensures they get the best health care. I love the Shiba Inu breed.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan and sesame. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
