Your channel and website has helped me out so much as a first time Shiba Inu owner! One thing I will say though is expensive in my experience did not always equal a reputable breeder. When I was researching Shiba Inu pups I came across a breeder that was an “AKC member” and even had photos of the mom and dad to prove it was pure breed. However, the guy was very unprofessional when it came to communicating along with being very short and irritated when I asked too many questions. He asked for a down payment of $400 and $3000 to fully purchase the Shiba Inu puppy. He kept rescheduling times for me to come and check out the puppy giving all sorts of excuses and when he finally had a set time, it was only a time frame of thirty minutes. The guy just seemed like a novice breeder and I took my money elsewhere. Thank god I did because after searching online again I was lucky enough to find a breeder that was a million times better. The guy answered my questions in full, was very polite as well as very professional. He was eager to share as much information as he could and when something came up the day I was going to see the pup he rescheduled to a time that worked best for both of us. Just an amazing experience as a whole and it was only a down payment of $100 and final balance of $2200. This is obviously in my amateur experience although I think it does go to show not every breeder that asks for $3000 and over is always the best choice.
I wish I saw this before getting my puppy :( I feel really bad for not researching properly. Luckily he’s healthy but I feel really horrible not understanding what I was doing.
We went to a dog rescue looking for another dog when we came across our Shiba Inu Puppy. We spent time with her and fell in love and decided to adopt her. We were told she was rescued from a unethical breeder/puppy mill. Adoption fee was $550 We make sure to let people know she is a rescue. She is beautiful to us but she doesn't look like the breed standard.
My ten year old boy, Aki.. he goes against the grain. He is the biggest cuddle monster, ever. lol

Any chance you found the breeder in Northern California? If so, can you hook it up with the name of the place you got it from?
