MA’S LITTLE PAWS is a small USDA licensed and inspected kennel. We have been breeding dogs since 1997 and breeding Shiba Inu since 1999. We are a retired couple who love animals; dogs being among our favorite. We enjoy having the puppies around to play with. They are like our 14 grandchildren, who also enjoy playing with the puppies, and we can spoil them and send them home. We only raise Shiba Inu in the past but we have raised other breeds as well. All of our puppies are registered with or APRI.
Our adult dogs are housed in heated and air conditioned buildings where they have lots of room and are able to go in and out when they want. We do not force any female to have puppies. We prefer to let Mother Nature do its work and provide us with puppies when the Mother is ready to have a litter. The puppies are whelped in special heated and air control whelping buildings in large pens with heat control whelp beds. The puppies are cared for two to three times daily. We do whatever is necessary to make sure that the puppy you purchase from us is healthy and well socialized.
As an Arkansas Dog Breeder, we have an exceptionally good working relationship with our veterinaries. They provide the vet checks and health certificates for the puppies before shipping or delivery and they also take care of our adult breeders and what ever medical care they need.
Sincerely,
Grover & Theresa

HISTORY OF SHIBA INU and PERSONALITY
The Shiba is the oldest of the Japanese dogs. Shiba in Japanese means small or brushwood. By the end of World War II, the Shiba breed was close to extinction and the three bloodlines that were left were bred to insure the survival of the breed. The shiba breed has caught on quickly. Today, it is the most popular breed in Japan and becoming very popular in the United States. On JUNE 1, 1993 the Shiba Inu won the American Kennel Club recognition as a member of the Non-Sporting Group.
Shibas can be very good companions and family pets, but they are not a breed for everyone. They do come from the Spitz breed and can be very independent. As an owner, you will get many compliments. A Shiba will draw a lot of attention and open doors to many social encounters. You will here a lot of comments like “They look like a fox!” In fact, it is the foxy looks that can get Shibas in trouble. They are very independent and clean. They do not have body odors like most dogs.
A Shiba is very smart and has a great memory. They will alert you to anything out of place around the house. They will think they are smarter than you and will most likely only obey you when it suits them. Many Shibas have an attitude but you must “Never give up, Never surrender.” They are very loyal and loving to their family. You, as an owner, have to keep in mind that they come from a pack breed and they will think their family is their pack. They will try to be dominate over you so you have to let them know that you are the Alpha dog in order to keep control of them or they will be telling you what to do. They are easy to house train. When out walking, you need a good harness and leash. If loose in a fence area, you need to make sure it is very secure.
