Our Shibas

Ike is my foundation boy from Leslie Engen. He is retired from the show ring for the most part and is a much beloved companion, surrounded by his kids, grands, and great grands.

Farrah is the most visible star of my program and is my foundation bitch from Leslie Engen. She is retired from showing/breeding after producing 4 beautiful litters of multi-titled champions and sporty performance boys. She is ranked in the top 5 Flyball Shibas of all time.

Marko is the youngest son of Ike and Farrah. He loves Flyball and earned his Grand Champion Silver, shortly before winning his second Specialty. He is in the Top 10 NSCA Shiba for multiple years. 2018 and 2021 Best In Specialty Show for the Evergreen Shiba Club. 2019 NSCA National Specialty Best of Opposite Sex, and Best in Show Owner Handled at the same event. He is the #1 Owner Handled Shiba in 2020. He is available at stud to select bitches for live cover .

Eva is Ike and Farrah's grand daughter. She had her first litter in Feb 2020 to Leslie Engen's "Riki" and produced a stunning black and tan boy (Angus, GCH San Jo Back in Black), and a beautiful red daughter (Tori). We will be retiring Eva in 2022 after her last breeding. Eva has an amazingly social and sweet temperament, and is a great mom.

Chanel is a fairly unrelated young lady from Leslie Engen. Covid-19 has greatly disrupted our plans to show her, but she has had some ringtime as an awkward adolescent and managed to some nice Reserve Winners to a major, as well as placing Best in Puppy Sweeps at the regional. She was bred to a Japanese import and some of her puppies will be staying on with us. Chanel was then bred to Marko, and I hope to be able to repeat it. She is a  great asset to the breed due to her fantastic temperament. If you are interested in following up with her future litters, please contact Leslie Ann Engen, San Jo Shibas at LAEngen@aol.com

Tori is Eva's first daughter from her breeding to "Riki" GCH Copperdots Beikoku Riki. She holds great promise for my program., although she does not care for the show ring. She is expecting her first litter with Marko in March 2022.

Maci is Chanel's first daughter from her breeding to "Ryu" a Kagasou import. She holds great promise for my program, and is exceptionally sweet, just like her mom.

Leon is Chanel's boy from her breeding to Ryu, a Kagasou import. He has an amazing disposition and desire to please. He quickly finished his AKC Championship and earned Puppy of Achievement. He now lives with new owner Piper Leiper who handled him for most of his wins.

Naka is the newest import boy to the US. Although I was not wanting to personally bring another dog over at the time, a rather fortunate turn of events made it possible for him to come to the US and live with a good friend who is his owner, but still be available for the project (Naka is not owned by me)

CEA: Clear, not affected

Nash is Mio's half brother and came over from Japan in a group with Mio and Yasu. Nashi is co-owned with Mijikai Kennels where he will help establish his own line there. He is an HKK dog, Hokkaido Ken Kyukai, a much smaller and unrelated preservation club than the HKH or Nippo. Thusly, his and Mio's lines are completely unrelated to all Hokkaido here.
