Shomaisou Shiba Inu

Spring is an exciting time here at Shomaisou, with several litters progressing through key milestones and new pairings arriving. Below is an update on current and upcoming litters, as well as current availability.

Upcoming Litter: Picasso × Oami Alpha

Expected approximately April 19, 2026

We are expecting the Picasso × Oami Alpha Litter around April 19, 2026. This pairing continues our focus on strong breed type, sound structure, and stable, balanced temperaments. Picasso has continued to prove himself as an important producer, and we are looking forward to seeing how Oami complements him in this breeding.

As always, final placement decisions will be made only after structured evaluations at 8 weeks of age.

Upcoming Litter: Reign × Chupa Delta

We are also looking forward to the upcoming Reign × Chupa Delta Litter approximately May 1st. Reign is a well-established producer, and this pairing is expected to bring strong breed character, sound movement, and temperaments suitable for both show and companion homes.

More details will be shared as timing and development progress.

Picasso × Gift Alpha Litter

Leaving Sunday, April 19, 2026, for Puppy Preschool in Michigan

The Picasso × Gift Alpha Litter will be departing this Sunday, April 19, for our Puppy Preschool program in Michigan. This stage of development is an important part of our puppy-raising program and includes expanded socialization, new environmental exposure, confidence-building activities, and early developmental work designed to help prepare each puppy for long-term success.

Reign × Journey Alpha Litter

Evaluated and Ready for Their Homes

The Reign × Journey Alpha Litter, which is co-owned in Michigan, has completed its evaluations and is now ready to go to its homes. We are very pleased with this litter and with the progress the puppies have made through the evaluation process.

Welcoming the Kami × Bonnie “Bravo” Litter — February 2, 2026

by Rex Gaylord on 02/02/26

We’re pleased to announce the arrival of a repeat Kami × Bonnie breeding, born February 2, 2026. This pairing was repeated intentionally after the strength, balance, and temperament we observed in the first Alpha litter, and we’re very excited about what Bonnie has delivered this time.

Bonnie is doing beautifully and is, once again, an attentive and confident mother. The puppies are already demonstrating strong vitality, good bone, and calm, settled temperaments in these very early days.

Litter Breakdown

This litter consists of six puppies:

Four red males

One black and tan female

One sesame female

All puppies were born naturally and are thriving. Early observations suggest a high level of consistency across the litter, with good proportions and promising head structure developing evenly.

About the Pairing

Kami and Bonnie complement each other exceptionally well. Kami contributes strong structure, balance, and movement, while Bonnie brings excellent maternal instincts, a stable temperament, and classic Shiba Inu expression. Together, they continue to produce puppies that reflect our goals as preservation breeders: correct structure, sound temperament, and traditional Shiba Inu type.

Repeating this breeding was a deliberate decision based on what we value most in our program — predictability, consistency, and long-term quality rather than novelty.

What We’ll Be Watching

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be closely monitoring:

Temperament development and confidence

Structural balance as the puppies grow

Head type, ear set, and tail carriage

Overall movement and coordination

As always, final placement decisions will be made based on individual puppy evaluations, temperament assessments, and suitability for each home — not color alone.

Updates & Availability

We’ll share regular updates, photos, and developmental notes as the puppies mature. Those who have already been in touch regarding this pairing will be contacted directly as evaluations progress.

If you’re interested in learning more about this litter or our placement process, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We’re very excited to watch this Bravo litter grow and to see how this repeat breeding continues to validate our confidence in Kami and Bonnie.

The Puppies

The puppies from this pairing show exactly what we hoped for — beautiful expressions, excellent bone and proportion, and bright, confident personalities. Each has inherited the even, easy temperament we expect from both parents.

We have two boys available for immediate placement in companion homes.
