In the pictures, you will see the parents and puppies from our previous litters, 100% Shikoku. (We tagged Shiba Inu as well because of the similarities to Shikokus, and this breed is still new to the US. They are 100% Shikoku). Prices are $2500 and up depending on “pick of the litter” and male vs. female. Out of state interest, contact us for options. Please research this rare breed and typical pricing. -We have been raising and breeding Shikokus and Shiba Inus for five years. We take pride in providing a happy, healthy home for our adult dogs and puppies. We socialize them as they live in our house and begin house training at about 3 weeks old. Our puppies get lots of love and attention!

Frequently Asked Questions
About Shiba Inu Puppies
About Shiba Inu Puppies
What makes Shiba Inus special?
With their expressive yodels and take-charge attitudes, Shiba Inu are alert dogs that love unconditionally but always have an agenda. They need an assertive owner who can give them plenty of attention but also keep them in line. If you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. Full-grown, they typically weigh 17-23 pounds and stand 13-17 inches tall.
Will a Shiba Inu get along with my other pets?
Shiba Inus are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. They can be trained to co-exist with children or other animals, but their nature is to be standoffish and perhaps even aggressive. While they may not show it at first, these dogs actually love people and prefer to live inside, where they can be around their family and stay busy. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
Do Shiba Inus need a lot of physical activity?
The Shiba Inu is an active breed who can adapt to its family’s lifestyle. They love to walk, run, and hike when given the chance, but they’re also content with a few laps around the yard or family playtime. Shibas are known to run when given the chance, so make sure your yard is fenced and secured to thwart their escape attempts. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
What should I expect with Shiba Inu shedding?
Shibas have short, straight fur with a soft undercoat. Their most common colors are red, red and white, white, black, black and tan, and salt and pepper. The Shiba Inu’s coat is low maintenance, but they shed quite a bit, requiring brushing at least once a week and a full-on coat containment during their semi-annual shedding season. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
What should first-time owners know about Shiba Inus?
Shiba Inus are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. While they may not show it at first, these dogs actually love people and prefer to live inside, where they can be around their family and stay busy. They are can be stubborn and challenging to train.
