Ethical preservation of our breed.
We have invested (and continue to invest) in importing health tested lines to safely diversify the gene pool here. The prominent health issues we are seeing now in the breed are genetically proven to be a direct result of "multiple genetic copies of one dog".
Our dogs are fully DNA profiled & health tested (PRA3, PFK, HUU, DM, Hiplaxity, Primary Hyperoxaluria) with annual eye and patella checks the norm. Puppies are all DNA swabbed for profiling and health testing.
Our available puppies are rare but magical. All puppies are sold on one of 3 types of contracts, (Pet/Show, Breeding & Guardian)
ALL puppies are personally delivered to your home to ensure we have all made the best decision for the puppy/dog.
We give lifetime support - and mean it however we will not leave a puppy in a situation we deem unacceptable.
Temple Shinto's motto is Never set a puppy up to fail and we do everything to live by that.
