Getting a puppy from Nicole
Nicole has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $350 non-refundable deposit and between $1,800 - $2,150 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“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.”

Litter update on 01 July •…Sensory training has started! Our puppies are seeing and starting hear better so we are exposing them to multiple types of noises so they learn to not be fearful. Within the next few weeks they’ll be exposed to different sounds & stimuli all to prevent fear & stress in an effort to ensure they are well rounded by the time go home day arrives!

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.

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

Wow there are no words to properly convey the great service Nicole performed. We got our puppy August 14th. He is so well behaved and healthy. I would highly recommend if searching for a shiba to visit Nicole. 😀
Kenneth F.
Verified owner · Aug. 2025
The entire experience was professional and informative as well as kind and supportive Nicole was attentive to every question I had presented knowledgeable facts regarding the breed and how to best care for the animal. We were provided with a puppy packet that included registration and microchip information as well as a detailed schedule for the puppy from 7AM to 11PM which allowed a smooth transition from the training the breeder provided for the puppy. We are extremely pleased with our experience and highly recommend Shore Thing Shiba’s! Our puppy is well adjusted to being around are other 3 Shibas and car sounds motorcycles noise and has been doing amazing with potty training outside sticking to the schedule provided by the breeder.

I can't say enough how pleased we are with our experience getting Ponzu from Nicole. She is very knowledgeable and helpful - whenever we have questions she is quick to reply. Nicole also had all of Ponzu's paperwork and vaccines in order so we had peace of mind. She even watched Ponzu while we were out of the country for two weeks. I recommend Nicole and Shore Thing Shibas for anyone looking for a Shiba.
