We are a small preservation breeder located in West Virginia, USA. We strive to preserve and protect Shikoku Ken.We have had the pleasure of working with Shikoku for about 6 years. We are registered with NIPPO and participate in AKC, UKC, and NADD events. All our dogs are health tested that includes: OFA Hips, Elbows, Patella, Dentition, Cardiac, Thyroid, and Spine. We also do BAER eye certifications, PennHip, Embark, and VGL UC Davis.We have Shikoku imported from Japan, Lithuania, and Finland as well as Shikoku born in the USA. We have dogs in Co-Own and Guardian homes. Not all of our breeding dogs live with us in our residence. When they are due for breeding, they do come to our home for that time and then return to their families. We couldn’t do this without the help of loving families wanting to help preserve the breed.We work very closely with Hachidorisou, although our contracts are not binding with one another. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
