If you are interested in a puppy please fill out our questionnaire so we know a little about your family and dog experience. This will help us to match you with the right puppy for your family and to answer questions you have about the breed.
We have puppies available.

Alaskan Klee Kai are similar in size to the Shiba Inu. They are a UKC recognized breed, not a mixed breed. They are starting the process of AKC recognition! They are very social with other dogs. They bond closely to their owners and require socialization as they can be very standoffish with strangers.
We have puppies available now and we are retiring a few adults as well.
We have two upcoming litters:
Qwill has been bred to Tsuki, puppies due May 2026, red, black & tan and sesame puppies possible.
Puppies will be ready to go at approximately 10 weeks of age.
We will be taking deposits to reserve a puppy from one of these litters after the litter is born. Deposit information is on our questionnaire.
These gorgeous puppies are ready for your family now.
Being older they have had all of their puppy vaccinations which equals two FREE vet visits compared with a younger puppy.
These guys are super social and love people and are good with cats. They are house trained and crate trained saving you weeks of training time.
You will receive a written guarantee along with a puppy schedule and tips on how to continue training and socialization.
We can meet you at the airport in MSP or can put you in touch with a puppy nanny who will fly with the puppy to your closest airport.
We have PayPal Venmo or accept cash.
He is outgoing and gets along well with the other puppies. He would make a great addition to your family.

$2150 including tax.
They are socialized with cats and household noises and we will start crate training and house breaking.
Gorgeous bright red boy born May 3rd. $3007 including tax.
His price is $859 including tax.
Girly is a super sweet easy going red girl. Born Sept, 13th 2022 She is quiet, house and crate trained and a good traveller. She has been shown and has done well. I own two half sisters and a half brother so I have decided to retire her early as she would make someone a wonderful companion. She has been scheduled for her spay and can go to her new family after her surgery. $859 including tax.
BEFORE YOU BUY!
If you are looking for a purebred Shiba puppy there are some things you should ask the breeder before you buy. When we have asked people what is most important in a puppy the answer is usually HEALTH and TEMPERAMENT!
1. Does the breeder health test their breeding stock for common health problems in the breed. OFA on hips, eyes and patellas. This is not a 100% guarantee but it is much less likely that your puppy will have these problems that are COMMON in Shibas! Any ethical breeder will be able to provide the clearance # from OFA. We belong to many FB Groups and talk to many Shiba owners and there are a lot of Shibas requiring surgery to fix patellas or remove eyes.
2. Does the breeder show their dogs? I get that most people do not want a show dog, so why is this important? A show dog must be confident, able to have strangers examine him and be able to perform as trained in stressful situations. I have seen many inquiries from people frustrated because their dog is nervous, extremely shy around new people and fearful of normal household activities. This personality is inherited! If you see a website with no photos of the parents or a few photos taken of a dog on the same day, that dog may well be living its entire life in a kennel with no freedom to run or play. Their only life is producing puppies and some are even put down when they can no longer be bred. By getting a puppy from this type of breeder you are telling them the way they keep their dogs is acceptable to you.
3. Can I visit your Shibas. While it is normal for breeders to not allow visitors see newborn puppies, you should be able to visit and see their other dogs. A puppy mill will never let you see their adults. They are fearful of strangers and many of these places have a lot of other breeds and mixes. Puppy mills will meet you off site so you can't see the puppies and how they behave in a familiar setting.
4. Are the parents AKC registered? Again, many people do not care to register their dog so why does this matter to you? AKC has standards of care and will inspect your kennel. Many breeders could not pass AKC inspections for basic cleanliness and care so they made up their own registries, ACA, APRI and CKC. With some of these registries you send in a photo and they will send you a registration paper! No proof that the dog is even purebred. I would NEVER recommend buying a puppy from any breeder using these alternate registries. Often it goes hand in hand with no health testing by OFA and many times these dogs are even mixed with other breeds to create "rare" colors such as pinto's.
If the breeder passes these tests you have a much better chance of getting a healthy puppy with a great personality.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND EARLY SPAY OR NEUTER FOR YOUR SHIBA!
Our vet will NOT do this procedure due to unnecessary health risks. I have seen several dogs that I have sold who have been neutered before 12 weeks of age and they look significantly different from other Shibas in their litter. It has been known to cause an increase in orthopedic problems such as hip dysplaysia and patellar luxation, as well as incontinence issues!
