Tribute to Anjin Sun Shiba of Goosak

James Thurber once said "If I have any beliefs about immortality it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very very few people". Anjin was one of those dogs.The greatest Christmas gift I ever recieved , Anjin was Akashima's (of Goosak was our FCI kennel name) very first Canadian Champion. She whelped Emi who would become Winners Bitch at the World dog show in Oporto, Portugal and ruled our home and kennel with her gentle disposition and her stength of character. Born on December 24 1995, Anjin was killed by two German Shepherd dogs, August 10 2009. A part of us is gone.

About our Pups

The next litters of Shiba and Shikokus are planned for whelping dates this coming spring and summer. We are expecting a litter of Shibas in mid May.

Currently we have Kojin available. He is a 5 1/2 month old Red Shiba boy; affectionate, out going with a great personality. Kojin is a Shiba that knows what he wants... but then most Shibas do!

Akashima Shiba Inu and Shikoku Kennel occasionally has puppies for companionship, show and work available to approved homes.

Please contact us for more information.

Japan Visit

After months of planning and lots of emails and phone calls my Japan visit was realized including attendance at the 100th Nippo Grand National.

While there I was able to visit with the Staff of the Nippo Kennel Club where I was able to confirm the Registration of my Kennel.

My dawn-to-dusk schedule included visits to many of Tokyo and Osaka's historic sites and gardens, as well as a wonderful trip to Kyoto and the island of Shikoku.

I met with many Shiba and Shikoku breeders while there and certainly have gained a better understanding of the people and their dogs.
