Excellent level

WOLFOX shiba inu reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shiba Inu.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    After a smooth hand-off from Cali to NJ, Ash (aka Moriko) is officially settling in as our east coast WOLFOX Shiba! We’re incredibly grateful for the extra effort Rex and Kevin put in to make this transition seamless. It’s clear how much love, care, and dedication WOLFOX invests into raising their Shibas — the results speak for themselves. Ash is thriving — growing, learning, and showing off a calm, friendly nature with people, dogs, and even cats. We couldn’t be happier to have Ash as part of our family and are excited for a lifetime of love and adventures ahead. 🐾❤️

    We were so lucky to be able to receive Juniper(Okami now in our household) after she had been retired from WOLFOX’s program. She has settled into our chaotic family of 3 cats (two Bengals and an Abyssinian) and a 1 year old Siberian Husky. She is so affectionate, easy to bathe and groom, a constant shadow around the house, and gets along with her new found family so well. She now enjoys morning walks, an afternoon of sun bathing, and running around the yard. Rex was so wonderful in matching her with our family to find the best fit for her. Was responsive and helped find appropriate transportation from California to Washington.

    I got my pup from Wolfox last summer and would highly recommend them! My pup is now eight months old. She's happy and healthy, and has a sweet disposition + warm and friendly personality. The process of purchasing a pup from Wolfox was also smooth and easy. Once my application was approved, they shared regular updates along the way and were very responsive to my questions. It's clear that they put a lot of love and work into breeding and raising wonderful shibas.

    Rex is very responsive throughout the process, from pre application questions, throughout the puppy's development, and even after I took my little pup home. You can tell that the breeding program is responsibly run, trying to get the puppies to fit homes. My pup Tano is 10 months old now and she's been great! Friendly and healthy as can be and it's been a joy to have her.
