This page is dedicated to:

My Dad and his dog 'Skeeter',

'Kuma' my Akita,

'Dakoya' my first Shiba,

and 'Minnie' and 'Mosu', my Pomeranians

who have all passed on and are together over the Rainbow Bridge.

Breeders and Friends

I have met wonderful Shiba breeders and non-breeders who I regard as mentors and appreciate their advice and guidance.

Morningstar River Shibas of Oregon for their Nippo boys and girls. Joni, thanks from the heart for your passion about the breed and your mentorship. Our Nippo Shibas Royce, Hoshi and Shelby are not only stunning in appearance but are sweet tempered and fun to have around.

Debbie Meador for her kindness and knowledge, and our extra special dogs Virginia and Rebel.

Frances Attridge and Lynn Blank for our wonderful New York additions, Butler and Majic.

Frerose Kennels of South Carolina for our snuggly boy, Mighty Nebo, now over the Rainbow Bridge.

Vince d'Eon of 5by5 imaging.com inc. for his kindness, caring and friendship and his devotion to not only his dogs but my own, and for his signage and printing products that make my booth look great wherever I'm setup. www.5by5imaging.com
