Meet the breeder

I'm Pam & Tom L., the breeder behind Prairie Shibas located in Trenton, NE. We breed our dogs for the enjoyment and pleasure of producing healthy, happy, and quality (to breed standard), Shiba Inus. Characteristics we choose are confidence, mental soundness, ideal Japanese Shiba Inu conformation, excellent coat quality and color, and sound health.

Q. & A. with Pam & Tom

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We came across our first Shiba in 2005. Maika was unlike any previous breed we had been familiar with. Her characteristics took owning a dog to another level. House training took very little effort. She was very intuitive and did not have any dog odor, only shedding her coat twice a year. We fell in love with the breed and decided to add a Shiba Inu male, Obi Wan Keobi. We felt this was a breed of dog we were willing to share with others.
  • What makes your program special?

    The socialization we start from the day they are born, which continues till we hand them over to their new owners, then encourage new owners to keep up the socializing. This make the puppies grow up loving all ages of humans, other dogs, yes even cats. Our puppies love are very smart and love to learn.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, red, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
