Here at Kari-on Shiba’s all of our dogs are raised in our home with grandkids and cats! We are right outside of Surprise, Arizona. We have dogs all over the world. We import from Japan. We have been involved in AKC events since 1972. We have had our hands on many breeds. We fell in love first with Akitas. We bred Akitas from the 1980’s to 2012. We have been in Shibas since 1997 showing for friends and got our first Shiba in 2000. Tada made us fall in love with this smart, corky and stubborn breed. My daughter now has fallen into my footsteps and has done amazing in the show world. Her own kids now help train the dogs and love them. We are always here to answer questions. Even if this is not the breed for you, we always want to help out and find the perfect match for you. We really hope you can enjoy our dogs!.
