I'm Brianna S., the breeder behind West Coast Shibas located in Portland, OR.

My puppies are bred with excellent health and sound temperament to provide you with a wonderful pet.
Q. & A. with Brianna
Why did you start breeding?
My mother started breeding shibas when I was about 4 years old. I have watched and learned how to breed and train shibas from a very young age. As I got older, I realized that I wanted to utilize what I knew to help other people find their new addition to their family. I leveled up my education, knowledge, and experience to be a more informed and responsible breeder to open a kennel of my own.
What makes your program special?
I am a resource for the entire life of your puppy in learning more about the breed, finding your puppy, learning your specific puppy's personal needs, preparing for your puppy's arrival, various techniques to handle behaviors and training puppy, and to provide an answer to any other questions or give help for you to become the confident owner to raise a happy, healthy, and obedient shiba inu.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, red, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Kairi, mom
Shiba Inu
About Kairi
Kairi is an older classy little lady. She is quiet, polite and spends a majority of the day maintaining her beauty sleep. She is too much of a princess to rough house with the other dogs but will happily offer up her services being a pillow buddy or keeping your spot on the bed warm. This upcoming litter in 2025 will be her last one before retirement.
Hikaru, mom
Shiba Inu
About Hikaru
Hikaru is a sweet girl who wants to be friends and is always looking for someone to play with. She is a happy dog who always trots around with the biggest smile. Extroverted to the max, she loves being around others whether they have four legs or two, and as soon as playtime is over she recharges her social batteries by snuggling up with any dog or human she can get her paws on.
Ichiro, dad
Shiba Inu
About Ichiro
Ichiro participates in many sports from being a soccer goalie, to field runner, next-level basketball jumps, and catching and fetching balls like it is never going out of style. His infectious energy and playful antics always make him the center of attention. Beneath his adventurous spirit lies a heart of gold with a unique gift for sensing other's emotions and knows when to nuzzle, extend a paw, or cuddle to make everything better.
Tsuki, mom
Shiba Inu
About Tsuki
Tsuki is loyal and protective. She is always watching to make sure those she loves are safe and sound. She has a calm temperament and loves with every fiber of her being. Just the thought of being able to shower others with kisses and endless affection gets her tail wagging a mile a minute. All she ever asks for in return for her unwavering love and protection are belly rubs, soothing head scratches, and cozy cuddles.

Brianna was beyond amazing from start to finish. Responsive and considerate. The pup updates made each week fly by. Olaf has been the best addition to our family.
Every question was answered and instilled a peaceful confidence through the process. For being my first experience with a breeder, I will probably go nowhere else now.
I cannot thank Brianna enough for our handsome little man. Thank you Brianna, may all the happiness you’ve given to me be returned 10 fold.

Brianna is such a fabulous breeder to work with! She has a lot of knowledge about Shibas and is very willing to answer questions and continue giving support during and after adopting your new puppy! She gives honest, thoughtful answers and does a lot of hands on training prior to the puppies coming home. She worked with the puppies on desensitization (trimming nails, giving baths, brushing fur and teeth ect) including to noise which had been a concern since we'd gotten our puppy so close to the 4th of July. We continued that training and when the fireworks began he had zero reaction. She also works on kennel and alone time training. Kanji isn't fond of being alone but only a couple days after coming home he quickly settled into a routine and has since been found voluntarily lounging in his kennel when he wants some alone time. 10/10 If you're looking for a shiba puppy, I can't recommend working with Brianna enough!

I had an outstanding experience working with my breeder, Brianna. She is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable about the Shiba Inu breed, always ready to answer my questions and provide guidance. Brianna offered all kinds of support to help me become a confident dog owner, from weekly updates on my puppy’s progress to inviting me multiple times to visit and meet my dog in person. During these visits, she patiently explained many training techniques face-to-face, which was extremely helpful. Brianna’s transparency throughout the entire process gave me complete peace of mind, and her kindness made the experience even more enjoyable. I am more than happy with my experience and would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a Shiba Inu puppy.

Brianna was amazing in all ways. She is kind and patient, with a plethora of knowledge and helpful hints. Giving us weekly updates of our pup before we were able to take her home made the whole family excited. Brianna really loves her pups and advocates how to care for them in the best way. Couldn't of picked a better breeder who listened to what we wanted as a new addition to our family.

Our Shiba journey began with finding Brianna through good dog. Brianna has been very helpful, informative and responsive to all of our questions from day one. We were kept up to date on mom's pregnancy as we anxiously waited for Ichi to join the world. Once the puppies were born she sent us weekly updates which included all of the things Ichi had accomplished in that week as well as wonderful photos which gave us something to look forward to. We were invited to visit Ichi as often as we could during that time and had fun and informative visits with both Brianna and her husband. The love, care and dedication to these dogs show in Ichi's unbelievably wonderful personality. As soon as we brought him home (with his care package) he went to the bathroom outside in his designated location, went into the house, found his kennel area and knew that was his special place. He's a very confident and well behaved pup and I give full credit to Brianna for giving us the best boy we could've ever hoped for. We're over the moon.
