If you have a Koyotes' Shiba picture to share, please email it to the webpuppy, with your details!

Hi Laura,

Mitsy is doing great.  She's a wonderful family pet.  We just moved to Okotoks in November and she loves running around here, yes she's doing great off leash!  We have lots of wildlife around here, so we're always on the lookout!
Here's a photo of her from last summer.  She's so pretty...and knows it!

Thanks,
Kim
 

(From Rick and family, Feb 2005)
Here are a few photos of "Ume". As you can see he is being totally spoiled and adored. I am starting to have some success with training.
He has "sit" down cold and we are now working on down.



He is a wonderful dog and we all love him...

"...There is always a chuckle to be had when you own a Shiba. We can't thank-you enough for returning our email, for it was that moment that enabled us to meet our new four legged friend. 'Kuma' has brought smiles and giggles to all who meet him and we 'his people' are learning 'Shiba talk' first hand..." Duane, Kathy, Amber and Stef

  I couldn't possibly ask for a better beginning than what you have given our 'Kimi'. I have been so impressed by your loving care for all of the dogs and the personalized attention you have given us, and each person who comes out to see puppies. We have learned so much about Shiba Inus from you. You are an outstanding breeder and a joy to be associated with! Thank-you again"....Vicki, Rob, Kristy 

"...we can't express how much it meant for Brooke (3 yrs) to watch her new puppy 'Brownie' grow from just 1 day old. Thank-you for your hospitality and on going support with our Shiba pup....As a new pet owner we are  proud to admit, that although still not perfect, we have overcome many of the 'puppy' issues. We contribute this success to Obedience class and to you, Laura,  for your advice to be 'consistent'....'Brownie' has become a diligent listener to our commands and responds well to new training. 'Brownie' is also responsive to Brooke's commands and is an extremely gentle play companion who tolerates almost everything that a our 3-year old can muster - including towing her wagon around the house for her....Sincere thanks"...Lyle, Marie, Brooke and 'Koyotes Yuki Brownie'

"You'll be happy to hear that I've been a good boy and I've grown into such a handsome and charming pup....My mom Cicely insisted on taking me to obedience classes last spring, even though I didn't think I needed it. ... Everyone there was much bigger than I was, our class was full of Labs and a few other big dogs, but at least they were friendly by certainly not as cute as I. ...My mom was so gloriously proud of me when we were done, that she picked me up , and spun me around, told me I was the best and almost started to cry. I felt great and I knew that I did good, so I stuck my little doggy tongue out at the other dogs and said "My name's Tori and I'm a Shiba and I'm smarter than you are!" ...I placed second over all those arrogant Labs; our score was 163 1/2 out of 200, so now I have proof that I'm really a smart cookie. I know my mom and dad (the ones with the curly tails) will be very proud of me, because all parents like to know their kid is one of the smartest in the class (so I've heard). Enclosed is a picture from Halloween. I can't believe that my mom made me dress up, especially as a pumpkin - of all things!. It was either that or a tuxedo; at least if I got to wear a tux no body would laugh at me because I'd look sophisticated like my hero James Bond. Any way you can see that I wasn't the only one who looked silly that night... 'Koyotes Hachi Suntori Taru' and Cicely, Lorraine, Larry, 'Dundee' and 'Darby'

"We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know the two of you and also the watch our Shiba puppy grow and develop from a few days old. The knowledge, care and compassion that you demonstrated toward your dogs and their pups was clearly evident each time we came out to visit. Thank-you for the time, patience and commitment that you  provided us and the other future Shiba Inu owners. It has been greatly appreciated by us both and it will not be forgotten. we hold the two of you in high esteem and would not hesitate to recommend you to others who are interested in owning a quality Shiba Inu!".....Dawn, Trev, and 'Koyotes Kyuu'

"I've got two big sisters to play with and keep me warm to night. I've graduated from puppy school and started on Novice classes and I love to 'shake-a-paw"...'Koyotes Tiger Lily' and Heather

"...we were so impressed with how friendly and hospitable you were. Then we saw your dogs and knew immediately that we found the perfect breed ...There were many hard days because our dog was alpha female, but after a few months we have a very friendly, happy dog who obeys commands and greets us excitedly when we come home....Also since living in an apartment we had the challenge of making sure 'Kira' got out in time to avoid accidents. but many thanks to your training we only had two accidents. What's even better, Laura, is that I can call you up with any concerns and you always make time for me. Thanks again..." Jodi, Randy, & Dylan

"We are so pleased with Tomi we are anxiously awaiting our second Shiba..." Kirsten
