I'm Nabila O., the breeder behind SWFL Happy Dogs located in Lehigh Acres, FL. 🐾 SWFL Happy Dogs is a family-based Shiba Inu breeding program in SWFL, focused on raising healthy, pure, and well-tempered Shibas. Our dogs are DNA-tested and AKC, ACA, or APRI registered. Each puppy is raised in our home with love and care to ensure lifelong happiness. 🌸.
Q. & A. with Nabila
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Shiba Inus began with Akira and her bold spirit and loyal nature. After years of learning and living with them, I felt inspired to preserve the breed’s health and authenticity through ethical, family-based breeding. Each litter reflects my passion, care, and respect for this remarkable breed. 🐾
What makes your program special?
What makes SWFL Happy Dogs special is the heart and intention behind every litter. My Shibas are family first, not kennel dogs — they live in my home, share my daily life, and receive love, structure, and individual attention from birth.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, red, black and tan, and sesame. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Thanks to Nabila at SWFL Happy Dogs for bringing me my Benjiro. Her pack is family, just like my Baby Boy is now part of mine. All the dogs at SWFL is loved beyond. Benjiro’s personality has been shining and he has brought me so much laughter! I am so in love.

SWFL.. Nabila was beyond educated about the breed and how to raise dogs in general. Her canine family is raised in pristine conditions and the dogs are super loved. My pup came with a clean bill health, all registration paper's and 4 generations of pure bred liniage. If I could have afforded 2 I'd have taken a second one.. maybe down the road will get him a a younger brother or sister
