Hi there! So sorry about the loss of your Toefew. I bet he was a special pooch.

First place to look would be the National Shiba Club of America at www.shibas.org . They have breeder listings and info about how to pick a good Shiba breeder. It's a great resource for Shiba lovers. They also link to regional Shiba clubs.

Another place to ask would be a Shiba-centric forum like this one:
www.shibainuforum.org

Keep in mind, you may not find a good breeder in your town or even your state. It's better to drive or even ship a well-bred puppy from a good breeder than buy a poorly-bred or puppymill puppy closer to home.

Good luck!
