    Brian was great to work with, keeping us up to date on Koda’s progress and pics of her! Returned texts and answered questions promptly. The process was easy & simple to complete. Most of all, Koda is beautiful, healthy & happy. The entire family did a great job of taking care of & loving Koda before coming home to us❤️ Thanks so much to you all! Lanell & Jim

    Brian delivered the most comprehensive and incredible experience. We are so in love with to our sweet Maple. She is so warm and loving especially for a Shiba and I truly believe this was a product of the immense care and attention to detail that Brian and his family put in to raising her. We were so nervous about finding the right puppy and breeder but we could not be more happy with our girl and the love and care that Southern Shibas provided.

    I had a great experience purchasing a Shiba Inu from Brian. It was a secret surprise birthday present for my mom! From the very beginning, he was responsive, knowledgeable, and clearly cares about his dogs. The puppy we received was healthy, well-socialized, and had a wonderful temperament. You can tell Brian puts a lot of effort into raising his puppies in a caring environment. He even potty-trained her!! Overall, I felt confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a reputable breeder who genuinely cares about their dogs, I would definitely recommend Brian. You and your wonderful family are awesome and we thank you so much for making this entire experience special! Mom says thank you!! She’s still crying.

    I had a fantastic experience working with Brian from Southern Shibas. From the very beginning, he was communicative and responsive, always happy to answer my questions and provide updates throughout the process. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his dogs and where they’re going. Now, four months into owning my puppy, Okami, I couldn’t be happier. He’s very friendly, confident, and incredibly loving. He adapted quickly to our home and has been such a joy to raise. I truly believe his temperament is a testament to the great care and early socialization he received before coming to me. Brian was great to work with from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a well-bred, well-adjusted puppy. Thank you, Brian, for bringing Okami into my life!

    Brian was incredibly wonderful to work with to bring out new best friend home to us. Weekly (and sometimes more!) photo updates and updates on her growth and progress were provided regularly every step of the way. We chose to pick up Megumi (our shiba) from the airport and Brian made that process quick and easy, too! Now she’s home and settling in so well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brian and Southern Shibas to anyone looking for a new family member ❤️
