I'm the breeder behind Kayobi Shibas located in Winthrop, MN. We enjoy showing our dogs and occasionally offer puppies from our high-quality Shiba Inus. We are proud of our dogs and pups. We take responsible breeding very seriously. We are committed to only producing a litter when our breeding dogs meet or exceed the careful guidelines for quality we have deemed essential to improving this incredible breed.
