Welcome to Dakine Shiba Inu's in Oregon. I am an extremely small hobby breeder who is Exclusively raising Shiba Inu's in Oregon with Shiba Inu puppies available when we have a planned litter. Note breeding only for the love of the breed as my passion and hobby and my therapy due to my health my dogs are my lifeline. I do also offer very selective Stud Services with my Siberian Husky  "Aleksie" my only Siberian Husky left from my breeding from when I raised Siberians. 

My dogs are my hobby and my passion after surviving a head-on car accident on HWY 99 just outside Junction City Oregon caused by a gentleman falling asleep at the wheel and hitting me head-on many years ago I was left with a front lobe massive head injury and spinal/hip/shoulder and joint issues that are now all a part of my everyday life my dogs are therapy and give me something positive to focus on. Shibas In my opinion make excellent therapy dogs and my mission and passion is this breed and to provide others with this amazing breed of dog who has helped me so much over the years.

​

 Due to my health issues and arthritis to avoid the damp weather in Oregon I often frequent CA traveling in the winter and spring due to my health and bad arthritis I can't winter in Oregon,  so pick-up in  Redding CA is often accommodated when I have a litter during that time. I may have Shiba Inu puppies available when I  have a litter. The Shiba Inu puppies I produce when I do decide to have a litter are from CH Nippo Lines which are highly sought after you just don't get better than a Nippo-bred Shiba Inu.

When there si an available litter of Shiba Inu puppies please note I am Based out of Eugene Oregon depending on where I am during this Summer and early fall and spring. Most of the time I can spend winters in Redding CA. Nov-early Feb in Redding CA (I am visiting my Daughter/grandkids and Son in Law for several months. So in the winter snowbirding to Redding. I reside in  Eugene Oregon during the summer months visiting my Son who is the Director at KEZI 9 News. I am very lucky to have all of our family with acreage and huge yards to exercise my 5 dogs during my travels for I am a NO-GO for dog parks I am a germaphobe due to the head injury I received. Dog parks are full of protozoa, worms, parvo, and other diseases so many parvo outbreaks and giardia, etc. can be linked back to dog parks. Being a germaphobe due to the massive head trauma I have had makes it a hard no for Dakine Shiba Inu's, and Siberian Stud:). I am extremely careful in my travels.

I am very dedicated to preserving the Shiba Inu as well as the Siberian Husky my two breeds I am passionate about (though I only raise Shiba Inus now which is very limited when time and energy allow for a litter). With quality Shiba Inu puppies produced with each  Elite planned breeding, I do. My Dogs are my Therapy after a major head injury from a head-on car accident and frontal lobe trauma to my head as well as full spinal arthritis, spinal cord exposure, and compression. My dogs keep me going!!! I am so thankful for them.

  NOTE: I  am no longer raising Siberian Huskies I did a few litters over the years but no longer will have any litters sorry. I just have My Red Siberian  Husky boy  "Dakine's Afanasy Aleksei" who is now being offered stud service feel free to inquire about dam owners who have bred to him so you may have a chance to get one of his pups, so feel free to inquire. Dakine's Afanasy Aleksei is an amazing Siberian Husky Stud of my breeding who is out of some of the best Champion lines in the nation Link above to his page.

​

Dakine Shiba Ius have top Nippo Shiba Inu bloodlines this is the best of the best Japanese Shiba Inu, AKC, UKC, and FCI champion lines from imported and USA  lines Our Shiba Inu's carry top Nippo Japanese lines. I am a very passionate Shiba Inu and  Siberian Husky enthusiast the Siberian Husky I raised for many years was very small scale at the time and am now finally retired from the breed.

I am an enthusiast and hobby breeder. I have been an exhibitor of Shiba Inu's when time permits though my health limits me now.

All my dogs are family members and live with me in my home, or with friends and family members we have I personally only have a few dogs. I do have a co-breeder my best friend's Daughter Mattie in Eugene Oregon. She has several of the Shiba's on our Shiba page. All Shiba litters I whelp and raise litters myself though I am getting her trained and prepped to do so with my guidance. The dam and sire are with me during the time of a litter even if they live with or are owned by friends and family,  they come to be with me during breeding and whelping and raising the Shiba Inu puppies. Having my dogs live with family members and very close friends helps me have a more diverse breeding program for my passion and hobby while still having all dogs being full-time family members and I am not overrun with dogs personally.  We breed very few litters, but our pups are worth the wait, Only breeding Shiba Inus puppies to produce my next prospect to further our breeding program or to provide dogs to those in need of emotional and other therapy dogs and I know the importance of this support from an animal mine save me daily this way, this is a passion and a hobby for me. I have produced many Shiba Inus and Siberian Huskies ( back in the day Siberians were to large now with my ever-changing health and arthritis they are just to much physical work for me now) who have gone on to be service dogs I have donated and  (we have a few who are seizure detection dogs for people that have been trained for this) PTSD support dogs and other emotional support dogs. We take great pride in producing wonderful family companion dogs who are well-socialized with fantastic top  NIPPO CH lines that are sought out by top Shiba Inu breeders nationwide. We are not commercial breeders and never will be. We do not support breeders who do not have them as full-time family members this includes all dogs in your program living inside your home with you full time as well as all litters raised inside your home full-time under foot, dogs are man's best friend. I take pride in the fact our Shiba Inu dogs live as valid family members full-time. I have raised dogs for twenty-seven years as a passion and a hobby only having very few litters, it is truly my life's passion and mission. I am incredibly motivated to properly source and protect the breed's genetic health and do breeding to improve and preserve the exquisite Shiba Inu traits and healthy bloodlines, this I do is just a pure passion and hobby. 

   PLEASE NOTE: Again Being just a hobby breeder here at Dakine Shiba Inu's I do not mass-produce puppies. It takes time, effort, planning, and money to raise a litter. All litters are planned for my purpose of developing the Shiba Inu and are raised underfoot with me and my family until they go home with their forever families or for, friends and family members so many have and own dogs we have produced. Due to the fact, I only have a few litters often I have a waiting list for one of our kids. But please do check our availability page for many on the list who are waiting and not quite ready and just want to be on my Shiba waiting list.

Only proper socialization makes for a well-adjusted confident dog.  Shiba Inu puppies and Mini Bulls need even more socialization than many other breeds. This is why it is crucial that your soon-to-be family member is being raised full-time in your breeder's home, not in a kennel. This is my personal mission- to provide service dogs as a passion and a personal mission.

 I have taken the time to study all my dog's pedigrees for that is also a part of my hobby and passion. I feel very good about the direction we are heading with our Shiba Inu dogs Our  Shiba Inus all have health, structured, and amazing personalities. Our dogs have some of the very best CH lines in the nation. Temperament can be lost if you just breed for the show ring alone, temperament is a huge consideration, and most definitely is lost with backyard breeding without a focus on temperament. Backyard-bred Shiba Inu dogs and often have temperaments that are very hard to live with. This happened to me years ago as a youth when I obtained my first Shiba Inu from a backyard breeder. This was before the knowledge I have today about the breed. 
Understanding the Shiba Inu Temperament has to be a focus in our program, or it can be lost quickly without thought and selection with temperament as a top focus. 

A Shiba Inu you can live with is well worth the wait. They are very unique. So when you rush in it most often is the biggest mistake you can make when selecting your breeder: Take your time. Rushed often has consequences. Especially with dogs and breeders. Proper Dog care from a breeder takes a whole lot of investment and money. 

Note the excellent communication I have with the families who get our Shiba Inu puppies. I will get back to you in a very timely manner, in whatever form of communication, emails, phone calls, and texts. I take my relationship with my Shiba Inu family very seriously. For my hobby, I love to talk about dogs and help. You are a potential home for one of my kids I have put my soul into raising and bringing into this world, you are important. You will have years of breeder support for the life of your dog. The dogs I create are my responsibility, to mentor and help the families who get them for the life of the dog, with training, health, education, and knowledge provided so you can be a better Shiba Inu owner who is educated about your family member.  Shiba's are truly my passion.

Please Note: All Shiba Inu puppies, when I have them are placed in order on our waiting list of those who have committed to homing one of my puppies once I have one available. However, special needs dogs take priority. This is my mission/hobby and purpose for breeding. We reserve our own personal selections/special needs dogs when needed. Each breeding is planned with selection in mind for the breeder and purpose not just making litters to make Shiba Inu puppies. This isn't a business this is my passion and hobby. Thank you for your understanding.

​

 Do you need an expert speaker va/Zoom NOTE I DO NOT DO IN PERSON>on dogs' behavior, training, and breeding? I have done many interviews and I'm available on  Skype and Zoom. I've done this for classrooms, 4h, studies, and as an expert speaker for events and clubs. Please feel free to inquire I do this to educate and donate my time to educate. 

 NOTE: There are a lot of issues of slamming and cutthroat slander of breeders with this breed as far as Shiba Inu breeders and Siberian Husky /exhibitors trashing Shiba Inu and Siberian Husky breeders or exhibitors.
Know this: A good breeder will not talk nasty specifically about other breeders, but will give you things to look for in your breeder and try to help educate you about the breed you have chosen as for what to look for in a good breeder. A good breeder will only have a few select dogs and they will be part of the family and not a kennel-full. Only replacing and improving as needed to progress. These are the breeders breeding for hobby and love and not for money. They are not in it to mass produce for profit, but for a few select breeding of purpose, Therapy Service dogs, Work, etc. Having just a few dogs means this is a tighter breeding program, for they have only a few and they choose the best to have in a breeding program. 

NOTE: The dog world can be an extremely jealous group of people. They can be quick to judge, and state things about other breeders based on assumptions and jealousy (I know this firsthand being a show breeder for many years).  I have had many emails from people looking for Shiba Inus asking me about other breeders they have heard bad things about, wondering if it was true. I say this: know that someone is always going to talk about someone. It's just the nature of people. Sad but true. Please visit those breeders and judge for yourself. Ask questions and trust your gut.  The Movie Best In Show wasn't just thought up, it can seriously ring true of dog breeders to the point of cunning and cruel statements that are slander and often unproven. I love to show for bonding time for my dog and me, the show people I can seriously do without. Not that there aren't a few nice people who show. I felt I needed to address this due to all the emails I receive questioning what people have heard about other breeders in the surrounding areas and beyond. Take it with a grain of salt, and do your own educated homework. Many times the ones talked about are truly the good ones everyone wants to be.
