AKC # NP33316702
Kouda is our oldest Nihon Ken, he is an 8 year old Shiba Inu and has taught us a lot about dog ownership and in particular canine behavior and health. It’s through him that we got involved in competition sports like lure coursing, rally obedience, agility, as well as canine good citizen training. He has a variety of AKC performance titles, and an altered UKC Championship. He is the first Shiba Inu to achieve AKC CGCU, CAX, CAX2*, and CAX3 titles!
* Kouda and his friend Sriracha both achieved CAX2 at the same event.

The Humans
Our team of 2 humans has a background in software engineering and systems engineering with a splash of martial arts and photography. We spend a large majority of our free time out with the dogs; we do training classes, performance trials, conformation shows, breed education, and they all come with us when we travel (we now have a van just for the dogs!).
We like to take the time to focus on each of our dogs as individuals, as they all have different needs, preferences, and are at different levels of training. Starting with our Shiba, we have learned more about canine behavior and health than we ever anticipated, which is why health and temperament are the top priorities for us.
