About Us

Welcome to Diwasou

Founded in 2022 in Tallahassee Florida , our hobby kennel was born from a deep passion for preserving the breed true to the traditional Japanese standard. We are dedicated to raising well-balanced, healthy puppies with sound temperaments and strong structure. Every puppy we raise receives an abundance of love, early socialization, and foundational training to help them thrive in their future homes. We truly love what we do, and it shows in the care and attention each of our dogs receives.

We are dedicated to preserving the breed how the Japanese intended ,therefore type and temperament are very important to us. We are members of the National Shiba Inu Club of America and Nihonken Hozonkai (NIPPO).

Health is also extremely important to us, I perform OFA and DNA testing to make sure I only have parents with clear results. This includes Eye exams (CAER) , Patellar Luxation, Hip Dysplasia, and GM1 gangliosidosis.

Interested in adding a new family member?

We do require an application to be filled out by families interested in one of our puppies. The link to the application can be found below.

I love answering questions about my own dogs and puppies and just the breed in general, if you have any questions email me at diwa.shibainu.sou@gmail.com

We do participate in AKC confirmation shows. The purpose of AKC dog shows, also known as conformation shows, is to evaluate and select the best breeding stock for purebred dogs. This helps to maintain the integrity of the breed.
