"I saw this little Shiba [Inu] and immediately fell in love with him", recollects Nadeau. "He was just like my Akita only in a small package. I went right out and bought my first in 1990 and now I currently live with six."

At Honshu Kennels our goal is to achieve perfection in the breed through precise selection and breeding. We do not strive for quantity but quality and we limit our litters to two or three a year. Each of our dogs is purebred with complete lineages and pedigrees available for your review on our website.

We believe that early socialization is paramount to a successful pet/owner relationship and to that end we home raise every litter. Each puppy is handled and socialized from birth. All puppies are crate trained and housetrained from an early age.

All of our puppies are started on their vaccinations and wormings and are certified healthy by our veterinarian. Each puppy is sold with a written guarantee of health and is guaranteed to be free from severe and crippling hip dysplasia up to two years of age.
