  1. Bullet  Growing Orchids is a pastime I enjoy  and although far different from raising and showing our awesome Shibas it is rewarding in itself.  Click  here to see some of our Orchids in bloom.


Hi-Jinx shiba inu Kennel is the proud Recipient of the AKC’s gold medallion  for recognition of our contribution to the sport of purebred dogs as the breeder-owner-handler of ten Shiba Inu championships finished from the Bred-by-Exhibitor class.

We exhibit the Shibas at AKC dog shows in “conformation” with much success and now have 51 AKC champion title holders and are the breeders of many Shibas that have earned “performance” competition titles trained by their owners.  The hard work and dedication by all has resulted in 81 Shibas that are bred, owned or co-owned by us, included many JAPANESE IMPORTS that have earned honors. 

I compete at the Colonial Shiba Classic, a yearly show judged by a respected Japanese Nippo judge.  I am extremely proud of the three BEST IN SHOW  wins my dogs have won at this event. 

Working for the best interest of the Shiba Inu breed I have served the National Shiba Club of America as vice-president, board member and on committees.  I am presently the breed columnist for the AKC.
