Genotypes of breed advancement are our goal on the path to breed preservation
Our pricing reflects the long-term responsibility, time, and care involved in raising Shiba Inu puppies with stable temperament, functional health, and native breed integrity. We do not adjust pricing based on short-term market demand, trends, or appearance alone. Instead, our pricing remains consistent within a defined range to ensure fairness and to support the level of care, observation, and social development each puppy receives.

The following points provide a general reference regarding how price matters in the advocacy of breed advancement:
-
Breeding Pairs
-
Each breeding pair is selected based on their pedigree charts, physical traits, breeding history, and temperament. There is no price difference between different pairs, but prices are based on the extent of advancement of each individual puppy.
-
-
Colour and Coat Pattern
-
Possibility of colour in Shibas: Red > Black > Sesame. Price might be impacted by colour possibilities, BUT
-
Different colours and their related standard coat patterns can impact the potential level of breeding difficulty. Not only the right colour but also satisfactory coat patterns are needed to meet the current breed standard and advancement.
-
-
Physical Standard and Advancement
-
Puppies of all prices will inherit desired physical traits from at least one parent. Prices will range from low to high following three criteria:
-
Puppies who show desired traits inherited from one parent.
-
Puppies who show desired traits inherited from both parents.
-
Puppies who show desired traits that combine the characters from both parents or exhibit advanced traits of their own.
-
-
There is no price difference between males and females, but the degree of masculinity and femininity in males and females, respectively, will impact individual prices.
-
Temperament and Nature of Shiba Inu
-
Temperament is also highly related to environmental stimulation. Our goal is to preserve the nature of this breed while introducing them to a modern pet lifestyle.
-
Puppies of all prices will inherit temperament and trainability traits from at least one parent. All our Shibas have over 8-generation records to ensure stable temperaments and a suitable level of trainability.
-
Price will be determined based on the balance of their independence, loyalty, fearlessness, and trainability (these traits can sometimes conflict). A temperament that is naturally located in the middle of the spectrum might be higher in price.

right
ethical breeding
Breeding rights must be controlled to ensure animal welfare, prevent genetic defects and retain and improve the bloodline. That required a thorough understanding of the breed's and the bloodlines' health and genetic concerns, structure, temperament, and type. We would therefore like to retain the breeding right with the exception of collaborating with experienced breeder in term of breed preservation, or humanitarian exceptions.
