I searched high and low in the Texas area for local breeders of shiba inus, without success. I searched classified sections of newspapers, I called pet stores, and I visited websites. I finally found a website with various breeders offering shiba inus, but none anywhere close to me. I was determined to find a white/cream colored male shiba inu. I thought this color was the most beautiful - the puppies reminded me of polar bears. After checking references thoroughly of a breeder on this website, I decided on Beau. I hated the fact that he was in Missouri, and that my only choice was shipping him by air. I checked out all of the details of the shipping of puppies as well, and finally decided to go through with the purchase. I've never regreted the decision. Beau was the happiest little guy in the world when I took him out of his carrier at the airport. I literally stayed there an hour holding him while he covered me with kisses and affection. The guys who carried him out to me from the plane said that if I happened not to have shown up, that they were going to fight over who would get to take him home. They, like most people, were very curious as to what breed he was....and also, like most, had never heard of the breed when I told them. I had not had a dog of my own for several years. I was a single dad raising two boys over those years. I had gotten my two boys a beagle when they were young, but unexplainably the dog disappeared from the backyard, and I did not get another dog until my boys left home. It was worth the wait !!!
