Breeders and Friends,

I have met wonderful Shiba breeders and non-breeders who I regard as mentors and appreciate their advice and guidance.

The furry four legged gang at Koyote Kennels would like to shake a paw and howl many thanks to Dr. Carolin Koebisch for her kindness and special veterinary care. (Box 18, Site 9, RR#, Cochrane, AB T4C 1A1 ph 403-932-8387)

Vince d’Eon of 5by5 imaging.com inc. for his kindness, caring and friendship and his devotion to not only his dogs but my own, and for his signage and printing products that make my booth look great wherever I’m setup. www.5by5imaging.com, 905.528.4870

Many thanks to Ralph Gonzales of Creative Video Marketing for my awesome video, 403.561.1780

Special thanks to Nobuo Atsumi of Japan for our sweet Japanese import, Sakurahime.

Debbie Meador for her kindness and knowledge, and our extra special dogs Virginia and Rebel. Both are now happily retired in their forever homes.

Frances Attridge and Lynn Blank for our wonderful New York additions, Butler and Majic, both now also retired and happily spoiled house pets.

Frerose Kennels of South Carolina for our snuggly boy, Mighty Nebo, now over the Rainbow Bridge.

Special thanks to my wonderful photographer Alex and website expert Aaron. Without them my website wouldn't look so beautiful and fun!

And an extra special shout out to my breeder friends Tina King who sent us sweet Panda and Bear from Ohio, Beth Nemeth from California who sent us Suri and Ebi, Melina Simons at Hibiscus Paws Kennels in Ontario for sending us Mr. Bojangles (Beau) and V.D. Egmato Kennel. I also want to thank Gianne Hesselmans from Hungary for sending us Razr and Rip. Our sweet boy Draco hails from Spain. Much thanks to Raquel Rodriguez. And finally, huge thanks to Satika Kennels and Sherri Davidson for our very special Austin.

I want to thank my Dad, my Mum, and my Granny for instilling in me a love of dogs. Much love to Nicole my sweet niece. Also to Justin, my beloved nephew, Kuma my Akita, Dakoya my first Shiba, and Minnie and Mosu, my Pomeranians…and who have all passed on and are together over the Rainbow Bridge.
