Retiree's

I am very proud to have had shared my life with these special dogs.
 
 
 

Am/Can Ch. Shibas Nest Diamond Rio
August 21, 1994 - February 19, 2010

Rio was my first male Shiba. I was very fortunate to be able to bring such a sweet boy into my life. He was born on my birthday which always gave us an extra special bond.
 
Though he is no longer with me he will always hold a special place in my heart.

Ch. Wilhavens Love Me Tender
Born January 7, 1996
 
Ms. Allie was born on Elvis' birthday. She's much more of a typical Shiba than her father (Rio). She can charm you completely just to reel you in and get her way. She still loves to play fetch, her favorite thing to do is pop tennis balls.

One of the greatest things about Shibas is that they can remain a part of our lives for so many years and still retain their wonderful personalities.
