Meet the breeder

I'm Debra D., the breeder behind Tanitaki Shibas located in Tucson, AZ. Tanitaki Shibas is located in southern Arizona and breeds only Shiba Inu. We are committed to breeding high-quality, healthy, and even-tempered Shiba Inus using the Puppy Culture protocols. Tanitaki’s mission is to preserve Shiba Inu bloodlines while improving the breed.

Q. & A. with Debra

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Matched dogs

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Getting a puppy from Debra

Debra has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Debra partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“We are not a puppy mill. We take great care in placing each puppy with the right family. Puppies are matched once they are old enough, usually at 8-9 weeks old.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $1,500 - $4,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“The price includes AKC litter registration, first round of vaccinations, deworming, crate training, potty training, and puppy socialization. All of our puppies are the same price.”

Contract & health guarantee

Debra may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Debra offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Debra directly.

All contracts are handled securely through Good Dog.
