Bred with Purpose, Raised with Heart
At Shomaisou Shiba Inu, we don’t just breed for looks — we breed for health, structure, and temperament, following the standards of both the American Kennel Club (AKC) and NIPPO (the Japanese Shiba preservation society). This litter reflects our unwavering commitment to breed improvement, sound temperament, and traditional Shiba type.
Sire: Kuro – Owned by Joan Morningstar, Kuro is a striking sesame male known for his confident disposition, balanced structure, and expressive movement.
Dam: Pretty Kitty – A black & tan female also owned by Joan Morningstar and currently leased to Shomaisou, she adds elegance, type, and a gentle temperament to this breeding.
