I had such a great experience working with Davith. He was incredibly communicative and always responded promptly to any questions I had. My Shiba Inu, who was previously named Akiko and is now Kiba, is 7 months old and such a spunky, outgoing puppy. Everyone always praises how smart he is! He definitely has that classic Shiba temperament but also loves to cuddle when he’s in the mood. I highly recommend Davith!

Davith is very responsive and process of getting Dafu (Nami) was pretty smooth. He gave lots of advice to me as the first-time dog owner. The puppy was already potty trained when she arrived at new home.

Davith was an amazing breeder that he was always responding immediately to our questions and sending a lovely photo of our Shiba girl on New Year day. When we drove to pick our puppy up, he gave us the dog food she was eating and the puppy blanket she was using. Very responsible and knowledgeable breeder and we are very thankful we could welcome our fur baby from him!!

Davith is amazing! He is always open to answering my questions, even four months after I got my dog. He has made this my most positive experience with welcoming a new puppy into my family. Miso (aka Gennai) has a wonderful temperament, is very easy to please, and is a super-easy puppy to raise overall . She blends into my family perfectly, and I couldn't ask for a better addition. Because of how sweet Miso is, I have had family and friends also interested in a shiba inu from Davith.

This was my first time ever interacting and connecting with a breeder. Davith made the process go very smoothly and helped me when I had questions about both the puppy and the process. He also did an amazing job with starting the potty training (and general training) for Kumo (Akio). Everyone compliments me on how cute and calm he is :)

Davith was so great to work with. He was super responsive throughout the whole process and took away any stress or worry I had about finding the right puppy. I could not have asked for a better experience! Lola is so beautiful and perfect :)
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.
