Does anybody know a good breeder in this area? I already locked up the sticky but couldn't find anything.

Have you contacted or looked at the official breed club?

Yeah, but I couldn't find anything in this area.

If you contact them, they may be able to help you out. Also, some breeders ship. Sometimes you'll just have to take a long drive, though.

I am very careful with breeders who are willing to ship their puppies since it puts them under alot of stress and I won't know how well they have been socialized. They could also come from puppy mills.

If you don't want to travel or have a dog shipped, you may want to try a Shiba Rescue group.

I know of an EXTREMELY good breeder on the west coast, however she's up in Portland. Want her info? I know she has co-pwns in LA.

Yes please! That would be very helpful.

You may want to try going to a few shows and meeting some of the breeders in person. Jack Bradshaw is the show superintendent for the so-cal area. To see what shows are scheduled just go to thier website and click "shows"; from there you can get directions to the shows and see the judging program to find out when and how many Shibas are in the show. There's a 4 day show at the LA fairplex in pomona this weekend. Looks like there's 14 dogs entered on Sat and 11 on Sun, which is quite a good turn out for Shibas. There's also shows in Pasedena and Chula Vista comming up.
