We hope to contribute to preserving the breed by improving the overall health and diversity within the US, and plan to register all puppies with AKC and eligible puppies with KKA back in Japan.
- Health is very important to us, we are tracking health within the breed
- We check pedigree and genetic COI/CORs prior to any breeding
- We are not breeding for profit, we are breeding for preservation
- We are not breeding for the sole purpose of selling pets
- We do not plan to have frequent or a large number of litters
- We will never breed a female more than 3 times
- We will only breed health-tested dogs whose results are publicly-recorded
Instead of a kennel with a large number of breeding dogs, we plan to have a network of like-minded, trusted individuals / co-owns that maintain close communication for future breeding purposes. This allows for the following:
- Dogs will receive the individual attention they need, and lead fulfilling lives with a family of their own
- Owners will be able to monitor individual growth and development, and report on any issues that may arise
- Breeding candidates can wait to be evaluated until they are of appropriate age for health testing
- Keeping healthy and sound dogs in the breeding lines
We would like to import dogs and puppies from diverse lines and place in co-own homes for future breeding evaluation. Any import would go through the same placement process that our own puppies would.
We breed to show standards, any dogs with show disqualifications will be placed on spay/neuter contracts.
We participate and encourage participation in performance and breed education events.
We will offer support, mentorship, and guidance in the areas of dog ownership, health, training, sports, and breeding.
We have a strong support network of mentors, trainers, and breeders, and will always have a mindset towards continuous learning.
Puppies will be socialized to a variety of environments.
- We will perform early neurological stimulation and socialization (Puppy Culture)
- Puppies will be started on potty training, crate training, and introduced to clicker training
- Puppies will be professionally evaluated for structure and temperament prior to going home
- Puppies will be genetically tested via Embark prior to going home
Puppies will be microchipped and vaccinated appropriately for their age, by a licensed veterinarian, with documentation provided to new owners.
We will take any dogs back, no questions asked.
- We do not want our dogs re-sold and whereabouts unknown; we will require owners contact us before making any changes in ownership
- We never want our dogs in shelters
