I'm Amy C., the breeder behind Polleo Dogo Argentino & Akai Sora Shiba Inu located in Springfield, OH. Our Dogos are bred for type, health and temperament. We breed for functionality in the woods and show ring. The Dogo should be a complete package. This breed is strong and powerful breed not meant for the novice. All of our puppies are well socialized before going to their new homes, but experience in large working breeds is preferred. We work with potential owners to find the perfect match for their home based on their needs as well as the individual puppy's temperment and drive.
Our Shibas are bred for type, temperament and health. We participate in conformation and will soon add performance sports.
Q. & A. with Amy
Why did you start breeding?
We did not start breeding until after 7 years of owning the Dogo and 6 years for the Shibas.
What makes your program special?
We breed for soundness and stability. Our stock is carefully selected with Dogos that fit the Breed Standard. We offer a lifetime of support. The same goes for our Shiba Inu.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Shiba Inu puppies include 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.
