Getting a puppy from Nicole

Price
"All of our puppies come with ACA registration, a 3 generation pedigree, vaccinations up to date, deworming (as a preventative), microchipping & a health certificate signed by our state licensed vet. We provide a complimentary 30 day Trupanion health insurance which can assist in most states in the event of an emergency or illness, however we ensure our puppies are all 100% healthy when they leave our home. For the life of your puppy we are always available to provide training tips/tricks & we love keeping in touch with our extended family of fur kids. We recognize that there are many breeders out there to choose from & this is why we not only pride ourselves in the health, temperament & quality of our Shiba Inu’s but also in the personalized touch in training & making sure it’s an easy smooth transition from our home to yours! We ask for a deposit of $350 this goes towards the purchase price and secures the puppy of your choice so that they are no longer available to others who may be interested. Additionally it aids us in providing the best medical attention available to our puppies & their parents."

Loki, dad
Shiba Inu
About Loki
Loki is Mara Jade and Luke Sky’s son. We retain full breeding rights & stud services as we have a contract to such on file with his guardian family. Loki is a very sweet well mannered boy that will be joining our program & be a future mate for Yasha Mari in 2024. He’s got great markings and he is growing fast! We will be updating his status as he matures. For privacy purposes of his guardian all of their contact information is kept confidential. However, if you decide you would like to meet Loki because you are adopting one of his sired puppies we can arrange an appointment for that.
Yasha, mom
Shiba Inu
About Yasha
Yasha is a sweetie, she is very calm most of the time but has small bursts of energy when playing. She loves to play fetch & is very curious about all things. She has extremely strong black & tan genetics as both of her biological parents & all of her grandparents were black & tan. She has beautiful markings & great stature!

Shiba Inu
About Jade
Jade is a very sweet & loving girl. She enjoys regular exercise in our big yard & is also a very good listener when given instruction.She gets very excited when meeting new people & will likely want to jump right up & say hello! She gets along very well with other dogs, our cat and children. She has the perfect temperament & beautiful markings! She is our largest female & has consistently had 6 beautiful puppies in each litter. Her coat is shorter & she sheds the least out of all of our Shiba’s however in the winter & between heat cycles her coat with thicken & her tail will get bushier.
Tyrion, dad
Shiba Inu
About Tyrion
Tyrion is a bit aloof & can be a bit shy when it comes to change…. But once he warms up to you he is a big goofball. He is by far our calmest Shiba & if he wants attention he is very sweet & affectionate. He’s very quiet & he rarely barks or makes noise unless he’s excited & playing or he is very disturbed by something. He absolutely loves baths & loves to play in our yard!
Saba, mom
Shiba Inu
About Saba
Saba is very sweet and calm, she loves to explore outside and is very friendly with our other dogs. She has beautiful color and a gorgeous thick coat. She is one of our smaller Shiba’s, we expect her puppies to be on the smaller side when fully grown but still within standard range for the breed.

Shiba Inu
About Koji
Koji is a fun loving energetic boy! He loves playing in our yard with our other dogs. He can be a bit timid especially around people he doesn’t know but that’s very typical of a Shiba. He is very food/treat driven so that has made training easy. He is still growing up but he is a very handsome boy

Wisdom Panel.Luke, dad
Shiba Inu
About Luke
Luke Skeigh ( pronounced Sky) as in Skywalker! He is the product of two of our other dogs breeding & he has perfect stature, a beautiful full coat & a great personality. He can be a bit stubborn at times but that is a typical Shiba trait. He’s very intelligent, learns extremely quickly & is our yard protector if he sees someone he does not recognize approaching the yard he will alert us. He is very agile & has beautiful long legs. He loves to play fetch!

Getting a puppy from Nicole was a great decision. She is very responsive to all my questions and kept us updated on all the puppy’s progress from potty training to baths. Levi (formerly Kumo) is adjusting well to his new home, and getting along with his new big brother.
