At Shiba Inu Canada, we are passionate about preserving the integrity and well-being of this wonderful breed. While we do not sell puppies directly, we are dedicated to guiding prospective owners toward responsible and ethical breeders who share our commitment to quality, health, and temperament.

Our Role in Connecting You with Reputable Breeders

Choosing to welcome a Shiba Inu into your home is an exciting journey, but it’s also one that requires careful consideration. As a national breed club, our mission is to provide education, support, and resources to help you make informed decisions. One of the ways we do this is by maintaining a Breeder Directory—a valuable tool for those looking to find ethical and responsible breeders within Canada.

Why Choose a Breeder from Our Directory?

The breeders listed in our directory are members of Shiba Inu Canada and are committed to upholding responsible breeding practices. This means they prioritize health testing, proper socialization, and adherence to breed standards. By choosing a breeder from our directory, you are increasing your chances of bringing home a well-adjusted, healthy puppy while also supporting ethical breeding.

What You Can Expect

While Shiba Inu Canada does not endorse individual breeders, we provide this directory as a starting point for your research. We encourage all prospective owners to:

• Ask Questions: A responsible breeder will be happy to answer questions about health testing, lineage, and puppy care.
• Visit the Breeder (if possible): Seeing the environment in which the puppies are raised can provide insight into their early socialization.
• Be Patient: Ethical breeders do not have puppies available at all times. A well-bred Shiba Inu is worth the wait!

Beware of Scams and Unethical Breeding Practices

Unfortunately, the popularity of the Shiba Inu has led to an increase in irresponsible breeding and scams. We urge potential owners to be cautious when searching for a puppy online. Be wary of breeders who:

• Offer multiple breeds for sale with little knowledge of each.
• Avoid answering questions about health testing or pedigrees.
• Have numerous litters available at all times.
