If you are thinking of getting a Shiba, you should buy from these people! They are GREAT! And their puppies are 100% as described, friendly, loving, AND SOCIAL. I had been looking for a Shiba puppy for at least six months and talked to a couple of different people but it just didn't feel right. But then I talked to Marcia about one of her puppies. She was so nice and very knowledgeable about the Shiba breed and her puppies,. She answered all of my questions, and sent me a video of her and the puppy I was interested in (beware of scams!) I have never purchased a puppy this way and had LOTS of questions and reservations. After talking to Marcia a couple of times I knew I had found the right person and the right puppy. I received pictures and/or a video every week until she was 8 weeks old and able to fly to me and her new home in New York. Flight arrangements were handled by Marcia and picking her up at the Airport was a breeze. Teeka is absolutely AMAZING! She is just over a year old and is the best dog I have every owned. She is SMART!!, very easy to potty train, loving, very playful. She loves going for walks and runs with me. She was very trainable and knows several commands, she thinks it's a great game that we play. She is NOT aggressive, like I have read they can be and she has never been afraid of visitors or strangers. I can't say enough about Cedar Ridge Shibas and I will most definitely be buying another puppy as a playmate for Teeka within the next year or so.Thank you Marcia for all of your help and PATIENCE with me!

Hi David!
Thank you for all of your kind words. We try to make sure people are well informed before making the decision to adopt a Shiba puppy. And thank you for sending pics of Teeka! I love seeing how much they have grown and changed since leaving our home. I look forward to talking to you when you are ready for a playmate for Teeka! :) We have puppies due mid October!

I bought a female Sheba Inu from this seller and it was the best experience I could hope for. Marcia was so helpful and kind, I couldn't ask for anything better. The seller drove about 30 minutes to meet me because I was driving several hours to see my new puppy. This puppy is beautiful and healthy! I spoke to several sellers while looking for the perfect puppy and Marcia was by far the nicest, and most willing to respond! She sent additional pictures and even offered helpful hints for acclimation with our other Shiba. She treats these animals as pets. I recommend Marcia to anyone! If she has a puppy, it is well worth the money. Sometimes you can find a puppy a little cheaper but you will get what you pay for and the price is well worth the quality. I would definitely use this seller again!

Thank you Faye! I was happy to help you out. We sell most of our puppies on line, so I am always happy when I get to meet the family that is adopting one of our puppies. We believe in quality, not quantity, which allows us plenty of time to spend with each puppy and to know their different personalities. I hope your other Shiba is happy with her new playmate!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Tara has been a part of our family for 10 weeks now and she is such a delight. Our two children, ages 5 & 8 absolutely LOVE her. She is very smart. She was extremely easy to potty train and we have begun teaching her basic commands. Marcia was great to work with, she knows a lot about Shibas. We loved getting videos of Tara and her litter mates playing together. We have never purchased a puppy on line but everything went so smoothly; from paying the deposit to picking her up at the airport. Marcia took care of everything! I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a Shiba puppy. Thanks again!

We welcomed a sweet apricot Shiba Inu into our family from Cedar Ridge Shibas. Roxy is our sweet girl. She was shipped to us in Colorado Springs CO. Marcia had never shipped before but was wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend for anyone to buy through them.

Hi Carrie,
Thank you so much for the pictures! She is such a pretty girl! It is hard to believe that she is 3 1/2 years old. I like your black and tan male, he is a good looking dog :) It was nice hearing from you Carrie, and we loved the pictures, thanks again!

I purchased a male pup from Cedar Ridge and he is perfect! Everything about the transaction was smooth and painless. Marcia put my mind at ease and made me feel good about the pet I was buying. I don't hesitate to recommend these folks for the best puppy buying experience you could hope for. You will not be disappointed!

My Shiba is by far the best addition I could ever ask for to my family. I grew up as a kid and never wanted a dog, I grew up in a cat house. When I became 18, I decided, I need a dog in my life, yet I never had the living situation to have one. Fast forward... I'm 32 years old and this is the first dog that I can ever call my own. I've always found Shiba's to be a fascinating breed. Honestly I didn't shop around much. I saw 2 beautiful white and tan shiba girls from Marcia and I was torn. I wanted them both! I eventually turned to my other half and told her "we've already made the deposit, you need to choose". Against my choice, she chose the heart of my life, and that is why she is my soulmate. Sakora is a big female Shiba, weighing in at 24 lbs, but she is the 3rd love of my life (behind my wife and daughter most of the time, sometimes she is first however). I'm choosing not to post pictures of my Shiba because of how absolutely gorgeous she truly is. There is no dog prettier. When she is at the dog park, she is the topic of conversation, I don't mean sometimes, I mean EVERY TIME. I am 32 years old with a wife and daughter of 7. I must admit yes, my Sakora does love me most, but that is simply because I took 2 months off work when we got her. Shiba's are high maintenance yes. Are they worth the effort? A resounding yes!!! I've read so many articles about Shiba's, and I must say Martha is the woman I will buy Sakora's relative. Our family absolutely adores Sakora. My significant other hated dogs before she met her, now? she couldn't imagine life without her... Marcia... I know you don't wanna send another puppy to Alaska, but next year, I will book the flight!

I'm sure Sakora is a gorgeous girl! I loved the color of her coat, such a beautiful apricot tint to it. Aspen is her Dam and Reno is her Sire, both are at the upper end of the size chart for the breed. Shibas are unique and cause quite a stir where ever they go. I'm so happy one of our puppies found a home with you and your family. It was an awfully long flight to Alaska but she seemed to make it just fine. When you are ready for a playmate for Sakora...we can talk about it :) Marcia

I found Marcia and her Shiba puppies on puppy find when I was searching for a puppy to add to our family. Marcia was very sweet and professional through the entire experience. She was quick to answer any questions I had at the time and was very helpful in helping me decide if a Shiba would be a good fit with our family. We already had a 3 year old Siberian Husky at the time and welcomed Meika a little over a year ago for Christmas. Meika is the sweetest puppy and so very smart although she can be very stubborn but it's what gives her such a unique personality. Meika practically potty-trained herself. To this date, she has only had one accident in the house. I've potty-trained a handful of puppies in my life and have never seen a puppy train themselves with no accidents. She is great with other dogs and any visitors that come to the house. She can sometimes act a bit like a cat and likes to spend time by herself but is the world's biggest snuggle bug at the end of the night. I highly suggest going through Marcia if you are looking for the right Shiba to add to your family. :)

We got a shiba inu puppy this January, he was born in last October. When I was going to move to my current townhouse, I had decided to have a puppy like I always wanted. I knew the story about Hachi, and saw that movie, shiba inu and Akita are so like each other, and I searched shiba's information found that lovely breed is exactly what I like! They are loyal, brave and energetic! I checked some of AKC shiba inu breeders and finally contacted Marcia( of course I read the reviews first) she is very nice to give us many information, what impressed me most was they have to take care of the puppies but they care about people's opinions, look at their website, you can find out every adults and puppies birthday, personalities and pictures. Actually I asked many breeders, Marcia emailed me many pictures and videos of my puppy, he and his families were so happy to play together. three weeks later we picked him up at the airport. Marcia was so thoughtful that she gave me all the shipping information before his arrival and documents with him. When I met Hachi, he was sitting in the kennel with foods and water. Now he is with us more than half a month, our kitten is about 14 weeks playing around with Hachi(his name) everyday. They stick together everywhere. Everybody loves Hachi, our neighbors, the vet, petco staff...Marcia gave me directions like foods, treats, toys...I'm totally green to raise a puppy, thanks to Marcia, everything becomes clear, and also thanks to Marcia, we can have this precious family member.

I did extensive research on Shiba breeders before I found Marcia and Cedar Ridge Shibas - let me tell you I couldn't be more thankful that I did! You can tell just from a phone conversation with Marcia that she genuinely and wholeheartedly loves her puppies. Sometimes sketchy breeders give off this artificial compassion in their attitude, but with Marcia her sincerity for both her pups and her customers is 100% authentic. Not only did my boy Kane (now Ryu) come looking as cute as ever, but his temperament has made training him so fun and enjoyable. I'm a first time dog owner so although I knew what to expect from doing research on Shibas, Ryu came so well-socialized and sweet that it truly has made a world of a difference on his development into the sweet young fella he is now (now 4 months old). I HIGHLY recommend Marcia as a breeder to anyone potentially looking for a great Shiba to join your life.

I cannot be any happier with my decision to adopt a pure breed dog and the Shiba was at the top of my most wanted list. Ari (renamed Prince) has such a sweet and goofy personality. Very well behaved too for such a young pup. I've never adopted a dog through the internet but Marcia made the entire process so simple and easy. If or when Prince needs another Shiba buddy, I know exactly who to go to. I highly recommend Marcia and Cedar Ridge Shibas to anyone looking to bring a wonderful Shiba into their home.

We are in love with our 10 week old Shiba Inu puppy! Athena loves to play outside and chew on her toys inside. She was fantastic with our 6 and 3 year old niece and nephew. They loved playing with her!

We looked for a Shiba Inu puppy for almost a year before finding Cedar Ridge. I highly recommend you call about one of their puppies! They are very friendly, great with young children, and are amazing with other dogs. Athena is everything we wanted in a dog and more!

We could not be more thrilled with our puppy Marley (renamed Wasabi). She has been a delight from the moment we got her. Marcia and Randy clearly care about their dogs and as stated on their website have socialized them well. Most important to us was finding a breeder that had socialized the dogs with children since we have 2 and the video and pictures that Marcia dutifully sent us showed her grandchildren having a ball with the puppies. Marcia helped us pull off a big surprise for our daughter on her 9th birthday when we presented her with the new puppy at the Mayo house. A moment none of us will ever forget! If you're looking for an honest, quality, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable breeder that is more concerned with breeding well socialized puppies than quantity (I visited the kennel personally and it was clean, well air-conditioned and had inspection certificates on display) then this is the breeder you want to deal with. Thank you Marcia and Randy for a great puppy buying experience. Our girl is doing so well and has integrated right into our family perfectly. We could not be happier with our little Wasabi.

Thank you Michelle! It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. Our puppy could not have gone to a more wonderful, caring family than yours. Not many people would drive an hour and a half each way on their daughters 9th birthday to surprise her with a puppy that couldn't actually go home with her for three more days. It was a very special evening and we all had a good time. The video you and your husband took of Coco's surprise at receiving a Shiba puppy was so cute. (The video went viral and was even on TV's "Inside Edition". How cool is that!) Thank you for choosing one of our puppies and letting us be a part of the surprise.

We adopted Jedi (renamed "Zuko") in August 2016 and have absolutely fallen in love with him. He loves people and is a very quick learner. We live in a large urban area and get stopped frequently on walks by people telling us how cute our dog is. Zuko breaks the mold of a "typical" Shiba Inu and is very loving and loves snuggling with his adoptive parents. We couldn't have imagined a more amazing addition to our family and thank Marcia from the bottom of our hearts. If you're thinking about one of their puppies, don't hesitate, the only regret you're going to have is if you miss out on one.

Hi,
Our family adopted "Nori" which we later renamed "Yuki" because of the day we picked him up from the airport. It was snowing and "Yuki" in Japanese means "Snow". Even though our new puppy is black & tan, lol. We had initially searched and called different breeders about Shiba Inu's puppies. Some either had puppies already adopted or wouldn't work with us in flying our puppy to their new home. Until I stumbled across Cedar Ridge Shibas doing a google search. I've read all their comments on website and checked out any others on the web and only found good things. So I thought why not give them a shot. And the rest is history. Yuki is a bundle of joy in our household. After his Veterinary checked him and gave him a good bill of health. We were happy that we picked a good place to adopt our new fur brother. Marcia answered all our questions about Yuki and helped in preparing our home for his arrival. Thank you again for giving us a healthy & happy shiba inu puppy into our family!!!

What a wonderful experance it was to adopt my beautiful little Shiba Inu from Cedar Ridge! They were knowledgeable, helpful and very much love their pups! from the 1st email to picking my pup up Marcia was excellent! She answered all my question, spent time showing us around the pup area and went though all the paperwork and instruction on how to take care of my little guy. He has brought me so much joy and there isn't a day that goes by I'm not rolling on the floor laughing because of how silly his is! I know if I'm in need of help or have a question Marcia is just a phone call away.

Anybody who is looking to purchase a Shiba Inu should buy one from Cedar Ridge Shiba's. Marcia was the nicest, most knowledgable dog breeder I have come across and she sent videos of the puppy until I was able to go pick her up at 8 weeks. Storm is adorable and she loves to play with other puppies and people, which I know can sometimes be an issue with this breed. It took her ONE NIGHT before she knew to go to the bathroom outside and she is generally intelligent. She loves to play and cuddle at night. She doesn't bark either. Storm is a little bundle of joy that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Marcia for being such a great breeder. I highly recommend Cedar Ridge Shiba's to anyone looking to buy a Shiba Inu.

“It’s with great pleasure I clearly recommend Cedar Ridge Shibas, Rolla, MO. Marcia Mayo is friendly, honest and tremendously informative. The facility was pristine. The parents are located on-site and they are sociable with superb dispositions and extraordinary temperaments. I had the best experience and went home with the perfect puppy of my dreams. Marcia is a trustworthy Breeder and she is extremely passionate about her Shiba Inu puppies. The puppies are of exceptional quality, well socialized, tremendously healthy and enjoyably loving. I strongly advise her to anyone who wants to purchase a Shiba Inu. Marcia’s years of experience, extensive knowledge and superior professionalism demonstrates how incredible her Shiba Inu puppies are. There is no comparison, Cedar Ridge Shiba Inu puppies are THE finest!”

She sent us pictures and videos of our baby weekly so we could watch her grow. You won't find a nicer or more professional person to deal with. She's the greatest! If you ever want to adopt a wonderful baby then you've come to the right place. This is a wonderful breed and Cedar Ridge Shibas is the place to make your purchase. Thank you again Marcia! We love the newest addition to our family!!

I purchased a shiba inu last summer amd she is the greatest joy to ever have! She is the life of the party along with having the sweetest temperament. After having her for a year and a half, she is perfectly healthy with no problems. She was well socialized when we got her. She was perfect with small children, other dogs, and my cat.
The purchasing process was easy as well. We had our shiba inu flown to us and the process was a breeze. Marcia answered all my questions and gave me all the information I needed. I highly recommend Cedar Ridge Shibas.

We are so happy we found Cedar Ridge Shibas and our little boy Koji (formerly Neeko). He is a bundle of energy and love. It is so clear from the way he acts that he was well socialized with small children, which was very important to us. Marcia was fantastic to work with and extremely responsive. She answered any and all questions we had and she made the adoption process simple and smooth. From the moment we expressed interest in our boy we received numerous photos and videos that we will forever treasure. We all had already fallen in love with him when we finally got to meet him. Our vet checked him out and found him to be perfect. We couldn’t be happier, and would highly recommend Cedar Ridge Shibas.

I think it would be impossible to be happier than we are with Cedar Ridge Shibas! Marcia is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Once my husband and I got in touch with her, she was always keeping us up to date with pictures and videos of our girl! Our Shiba was not available to come home until January 8th, but Marcia let us stop by to see her on New Years Day so we could meet our girl before we got to take her home! When we picked her up Marcia had just given her a bath, and gave us a BIG bag of food for her, she was so helpful giving us tips and telling us what to expect when we took our puppy home! Our shiba, Hermione, is doing great with us! She is very healthy, and is VERY socialized! I was very skeptical of adopting a dog online but I can GUARANTEE that we will be adopting again from Marcia and Cedar Ridge Shibas.

I LOVE CEDAR RIDGE SHIBAS! My wife and I found Cedar Ridge Shibas on the website PuppyFind.com and they stuck out because of their great reviews! I immediately contacted Marcia and she was extremely nice, patient, and was very very prompt in responses! She immediately sent videos and photos of the little female Shiba that my wife and I were interested in. The payment process was very easy, quick and painless. Marcia had all of the paperwork in-line and was very organized. I was sooooo happy with my experience with Cedar Ridge Shibas that I advised my sister-in-law and they bought a female Shiba as well! My goal was to have my little Shibas before the new year, so as opposed to having them shipped to California, I spent a day flying out to Missouri, picking up the Shibas, and flying back later in the evening. It was great! Life's an adventure so why not, right? Marcia was even kind enough to provide a couple of bags of food for the pups in addition to a piece of blanket that had their mother's scent on it. How thoughtful! It was very easy, quick, and the little pups are home now in sunny California! I would suggest that anyone looking to purchase a Shiba go through Cedar Ridge Shibas and just do it. They're awesome and you won't regret it!

3 words: Marcia is awesome!!!

I found MJ on puppyfind.com and sent Marcia a text. She was extremely responsive and went above and beyond by sending me photos and videos weekly! I really didn't know what to expect when ordering a puppy-- but Marcia always accepted my phone calls to tell me more about MJ and his parents, what to expect being a Shiba mom. Picking MJ up at the airport was just as painless! What I didn't expect, was my guy to be a little shy as he warmed up to me. Marcia really means it when she says she is a resource even after he leaves Cedar Ridge. I called Marcia, and she reassured me that he's getting used to his new home, she suggest food brands, and other items to grab him to ease his fears. Now, MJ is thriving. I am so glad in my puppy hunt I stumbled upon Cedar Ridge Shibas. I highly recommend them!!!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with cedar ridge shibas!

I was able to see their kennels first hand when I picked up Cub (my black and tan mini) and they're in perfect condition, with plenty of outdoor space for the puppies to run around and play. Marcia's grandchildren were also so sweet and have socialized their dogs so well that Cub always runs over to give kids kisses on the street!

He's become my world and I'm so thankful to Marcia and her family every day.

Here's a pic of Cubbie at 6 months, handsome and healthy:

We love our shiba puppy from Marcia !!! She arrived very healthy, just as described, and so sweet. Marcia was fantastic to respond to all of my questions, every text and every email. Very easy to work with. My family of 3 kids would look forward to "puppy pictures" once a week. Our vet even remarked at how impressed they were with the good-natured puppy, and also the paperwork/ health records sent with her. I had never had a pet flown to us before, but the whole process went even better than I expected. Sachi is a wonderful addition to our family. I am so glad we found Cedar Ridge Shibas.

My whole experience has been great. I called and let Marcia that I was looking for my second Shiba my 1st one is 11. She let me know when she expected puppies and when they were born she sent pictures
I picked out my puppy and she sent videos and pictures frequently as he grew. I picked my puppy up today. I got to see the kennels and grounds and they are beautiful. My little guy slept all the way home.
He is so well socialized that he acts like he’s always been here. He’s a very happy playful puppy. Thank you so much Marcia! I would highly recommend Cedar Ridge Shibas to anyone looking for a healthy happy and well socialized Shiba Puppy

Such an exciting process. We’ve had our little boy for a little over a month now and he’s everything you can expect out of a Shiba. Very smart, curious, and vocal with no shame haha. I was worried about the adoption process due to being from the Seattle area, Marcia made it a very smooth and painless process and kept up with continuous updates to how our little boy has progressed. After several itinerary changes Marcia was very flexible and understanding with pick up arrangements. Thank you for everything.

We adopted our Shiba a little over a year ago and couldn’t be happier! She is such a sweet and loving dog and whenever we take her for a walk we always get compliments on what a a beautiful dog she is. Marcia was very kind and helpful, as well. She even went above and beyond and purchased a blanket for our puppy when I asked about getting one that would smell like her litter to ease Saki’s transition to her new home. I would highly recommend this breeder to anyone who wants to adopt a Shiba Inu puppy, or a dog in general.

Got our little boy just over a year ago and we are still so in love with him. He makes us laugh everyday. PS- He still has the little heart on his head. 😁

I found Cedar Ridge Shibas through a vigorous search for a shiba inu puppy. When I stumbled upon CRS, I read the reviews and could not believe my eyes with all of the adorable puppy pictures. I reached out to Marcia and she was kind and put my name down on the list. A few months later, she called to tell me that a litter of puppies were born on September 16th and a little-cream female puppy could be mine if I was still interested.

Karma has just turned 3 months old. She was great in the car ride back home (almost 8 hours a day for 2 days). She has bonded quickly with me and my household, including, a cat, a bunny, and a smooth coat collie. Karma has a strong personality already but is very sweet and gives so many kisses. The vet said she is extremely healthy (and could not stop complimenting Karma's eyelashes and coat). I would recommend CRS to anyone seriously looking for a great adoption process and believe that all puppies from Cedar Ridge Shibas will be similar to Karma.

Thanks Marcia!

Feel free to see photos of Karma but following her IG @KarmaThatFemaleDog

After our first adoption we said we’d be back and here we are!
We recently adopted our second shiba from Marcia and we couldn’t be happier!
Just like the first adoption, we received frequent photo updates and amazing communication!
I highly recommend Cedar Ridge Shibas!

We received our little mini female shiba, Hana, in November of 2019 from Marcia to be a mate for our full size shiba. This puppy was far easier to train and has an easier temperament than our full size pet store shiba. Marcia was great from start to finish and arranged flying our little girl to San Antonio, TX as I couldn't make it to MO. All went without a hitch and every part of the transaction was perfect from beginning to end. Our little girl is so sweet, smart and quickly potty trained. She was and is extremely healthy 2.5 years later. We couldn't be happier with our little girl and with dealing with Marcia and Cedar Ridge Shibas. I just realized I had never left a review and wanted to make sure to reassure anyone that Marcia and her animals are top notch. Don't hesitate to get your little shiba from her. Great communication and pics from start to finish. I highly recommend Cedar Ridge Shibas 2+ years later!

My little Joon will turn 2yo in Dec 2021. I just want to say she is the happiest, cuddliest puppy. She is so sweet and social and makes the most hilarious sounds. I think Marcia and the love she gives this breed is the reason my Joon started off so happy. She is still a very happy puppy. I got really lucky - Joon makes airplane ears and squinty eyes whenever she feels happy, a lot.

I live in Missouri, and was able to visit the property when picking Joon up. Let's just say it is a very fond memory picking up my dog. Those are some happy pups.

Thank you Marcia!

After doing a lot of research our family decided on Cedar Ridge Shibas. We were on a waiting list and once the pups were born Marcia kept us up to date on the growth with photos and videos. We had to make special arrangements for pickup and Marcia was so kind throughout the entire process. We’ve had our red male almost a year and he’s amazing! Healthy, soft coat, and his features and coloring are exactly what we were looking for. When we decide to get a buddy for our guy we will be returning to Cedar Ridge!!!

I bought a Shiba from Marcia about 4 months ago. I have owned two Shibas before and this guy is a totally different dog than my previous experiences. I have been able to train the previous dogs to be great dogs but this Shiba is friendly with all people and dogs and if you have owned a Shiba before you know this isn’t common. The experience was amazing Marcia contacted me as soon as I was up on the waitlist and was willing to send pictures and take videos so that I could make the best decision for me. I had asked her if I could bring a blanket
To put with the litter mates so he felt comfy the first night at home and she bought a baby blanket for him to do this. Great experience! Would buy from this breeder agin no question.

We love our pup, Junji Ito. He arrived safe and sound after a long journey, and has been a healthy, happy, and curious little Shiba pup! Marcia and the airline transport company crated him safely and comfortably for his trip, with his AKC papers, health records, pedigree, and a considerate letter attached to the crate. He took to his first vet visit like a champ and has been a very smart, good-tempered little guy for the week we've known him. We're totally in love. Thanks Marcia & Cedar Ridge!

We picked up our puppy Sinbad (now named Horus) and we traveled back to Texas dame day. Horus was so well behaved the entire 16 hour drive. We would stop roughly every 3 hours and he would go no problems. And when we were driving he slept. He had one accident in the hotel and that was it since. We is such a smart puppy and at 8 weeks he already knows to alert us if he has to go. And he knows no strangers, just so much love in his little body. We love him and he loves us and our other pets. Marcia and the Cedar Ridge Shiba kennel are great people who actually love this breed.

We made the trip to pick up Levi (Meiko now) a few days before Christmas, 12/23/21 and he was so tiny and cute and was so much smaller than in the videos. Marcia and Cedar Ridge Shiba Kennel made our first puppy experience so smooth and easy. She answered all questions, even unto this day, such a sweetheart.

Doing my research and reading up on Shibas and watching videos are one thing.. but actually having one in your home is totally different. lol He was great on the trip home and has thus adapted very well with the family and the kiddos. And you would think that he was potty trained the way he'd alert us when he had to go. Only a few lil accidents in the house which was to be expected. He's getting better. We're now shedding our coat and he's still coming along nicely. Loved the experience and love the lil guy. Thank you Mrs. Marcia and Cedar Ridge Shibas.

Aloha Marcia! Words alone cannot say how happy we were when you contacted us to let us know you had a puppy for us. Mika is perfect! Everything you said, all the time you spent helping us ensure we got the puppy of our dreams. It's only been two days since we got her and she is adjusting well to her new big sister, Maya. No separation anxiety and no issues with the transporter. Everything worked out exactly as you described. Thank you again for all your love and commitment to raising healthy and adorable Shibas!

We were so excited when we found out that Luca was going to join our family. Luca is a happy puppy and these few months with him have been wonderful. Thank you for raising such sweet beautiful dogs. And for taking such good care of the puppies.
