She is my personal companion dog, whom I brought into my life long before we began considering the idea of moving our kennel to Canada. After being spayed in 2024, Haruta no longer participates in our breeding program, but her role within the kennel has only become more important. She has naturally taken on a leadership position within the group, helping guide the rhythm, structure, and overall direction of our dogs.

Haruta has a strong sense of responsibility and an exceptionally observant nature. She guides the group, responds with quiet confidence, and helps maintain balance among the dogs. In many ways, she represents the key temperament we deeply value in the Japanese Shiba: composed, perceptive, self-possessed, and clear in character.
