    It was an amazing experience. Not only has Shayla our pup been a loving addition to our family, we can see how much Sullin and others truly cares for her dogs and the well being of them. They come potty trained and full of love. Most importantly, if you are looking for a Shiba, look no farther, the ones here are the best ones I’ve ever met. I truly truly recommended reaching out of your area considering and meeting Sullin fact to face. It’s always good to know who you are getting a puppy from and I k own made the right choice.

    Working with Sullin and her family has been the most wonderful and calm experience we have ever had when adopting a pet. From the beginning Sullin was extremely communicative, thoughtful and fun! Having consistent updates and a visit half way through helped us already feel bonded to Kai from the moment we brought her home. Sullin was also always available for questions, concerns and advice ready. She and her family are raising wonderful puppies that are sweet, intelligent and playful. We love our girl and are super grateful for this experience.

    I honestly cannot recommend Sullin enough. ❤️ I found Sullin before the litter was even born, and from the very beginning, she made me feel so involved in the entire process. Once the puppies were born, she was constantly sending updates, pictures, and videos. It genuinely felt like I was watching my puppy grow up from the very beginning, rather than just waiting for the day I could pick her up. We were even able to meet the puppies when they were about a month old, which made the experience even more special. I had what felt like a million questions throughout the process, and Sullin was always so responsive and patient. I never felt like I was bothering her or asking too much. I always felt supported, and honestly, it felt more like having a friend guiding me through getting my puppy than simply working with a breeder. The biggest thing for me, though, is how much you can tell these puppies are loved. When you see Sullin with them, you can immediately tell how much care and affection she puts into raising them. She also has a young child, and you can see from the videos that the puppies are exposed to children and are comfortable playing and interacting with them. Her husband is also very hands-on with the puppies, and when we visited, he somehow knew all of them and could immediately tell the different puppies and litters apart. 😂 You can really see that the whole family is involved in raising them. And you really see all of that care in their personalities. Shiba Inus have a reputation for being independent and aloof, so I was honestly surprised when I brought my baby home and she was SO sweet and affectionate. She loves being held, she is so comfortable around me, and she has such a wonderful temperament. It made me realize how much of a difference the way a puppy is raised can make. Because the puppies were raised in a home, my puppy also came home so comfortable with everyday household sounds. Dishes, the vacuum, normal activity around the house - she was completely unbothered. She adjusted so quickly, which I really believe is a reflection of the environment she was raised in. And she is SO smart! Within just a few hours of bringing her home, she had already learned two tricks. 😂 The combination of her intelligence, sweetness, confidence, and temperament has honestly been amazing. Getting a puppy is such a big decision, and I feel so lucky that I found Sullin. From before the puppies were even born, all the way through bringing my baby home at eight weeks, the entire experience was above and beyond. I always felt informed, supported, and included, and I could tell from the beginning that these puppies were being raised with so much love. I am so grateful to Sullin and her family for raising such a sweet, smart, loving little girl. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience or with my puppy. ❤️

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Sullin and her husband! From start to finish, they were kind, caring, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful. I was very nervous about choosing a puppy so young. Since I live alone I knew that finding a puppy whose personality matched me and my lifestyle was extremely important. I worried that I wouldn’t be able to tell at such a young age which puppy would be the right fit. Sullin and her husband listened carefully to all of my concerns and reassured me to trust them. And I am SO glad I did! My baby girl is absolutely perfect for me and my lifestyle. She is everything I was looking for and more, and I truly believe that is because Sullin and her husband take the time to understand each puppy’s individual personality. They worked their magic and somehow knew my puppy would be a good fit for me when she was only 1 week old! It is clear that their top priority is placing their puppies in homes where they will genuinely thrive, rather than simply matching people with puppies. Sullin is a responsible, caring, and ethical breeder who truly cares not only about her puppies, but also about the people who adopt them. I have felt supported and confident throughout this entire experience, and I couldn’t be happier with my sweet girl Margo! I would wholeheartedly recommend Sullin to anyone looking for a Shiba Inu. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and to have brought my perfect little girl home! ❤️

    As first-time puppy owners, we were nervous when we decided to get a Shiba Inu, but we couldn't have asked for a better breeder than Sullin. Her passion for her dogs was obvious from our very first call, and I stopped looking at other breeders right then. Throughout the process, she kept us updated on the litter's growth with photos and videos, so we could watch our puppy get bigger. She went above and beyond by inviting several families to visit the puppies in person when they were one month old. You could tell how dedicated she and her husband were to raising them. Meeting the puppies' parents, with their loving personalities and wonderful temperaments, reassured me that I'd made the right choice. Today we finally brought our puppy home, and she's calm, playful, and curious! We're so excited to build a bond with her, and we have Sullin to thank for making it happen! ❤️

    Sullin was very easy to work with! She was super nice, quick to respond to messages, helped us select the proper puppy for our situation, and provided an excellent goody box to make transition easier. She clearly cares about her Shibas, ensuring they get proper diet, vet visits, and socialization.
