RETIRED!!!
The NATIONAL SHIBA CLUB of AMERICA's annual specialty weekend, Oklahoma City, Ok, 2012
Scout goes WINNERS BITCH from an action packed Bred-by class for a 5pt major to finish her AKC Championship. She then goes on the BEST of WINNERS, this is an amazingly huge honor! I am very proud of this little girl.
Scout moves up to the champion class at the National Shiba Specialty. Scout takes Select Bitch among many top ranked female specials. Scout earned her first Grand Champion 5pt major against champion competition.
The next day at the Parent Shiba Specialty. Scout again takes Select Bitch against top ranked female specials. Scout earned her second Grand Champion 5pt major.
All this BREEDER/OWNER handled the whole way.
All in all, Scout finishes her championship in 3 weekends of showing with all majors. The first weekend she earns a 4pt major, the second weekend she earns back to back 4pt majors and finally the icing on the cake she earns a 5pt major the National weekend competing against a heavy weight of competition. She has always been my little star and she now has proven herself to everyone.

Maybelline starts her show career at the ripe age of 6mo. I debut her at the regional Shiba Inu specialty hosted by Mid-States Shiba Club in Topeka, Kansas May 9th, 2015. She comes out of the ring with a BANG!!! She takes Winners Bitch for a 5pt major then goes on to Best of Winners and nearly beats Scout for breed. Who would have suspected, lol. The next day she returns to the ring and again goes Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for another 5pt major over some amazingly stiff competition. So her first weekend out she needs only 5 single points to become an AKC Champion. Wow!
On that following day the judge pulled Scout and Maybelline out to consider for Best of Breed. The judge had us stack both girls on the table side by side then made us gait two laps around the ring. He looked at me and said Scout only wins because of maturity otherwise he was going to her for Breed, amazing little girl this Maybelline is. Her new nickname after that weekend is MaybelQueen!
Maybelline finishes her AKC Championship going Best of Breed from the classes over a very nice male special. She then goes on to an NOHS Non-Sporting Group 2!

Hime Sets The Record for being the youngest Grand Champion Shiba Inu of all time.
Hime wins BEST OF BREED at the Heart of Dixie Shiba Inu Regional Specialty garnering her the title of BISS!
Hime explodes into the 2018 National Specialty weekend just gobbling up the points and earning her championship by amassing 13 of her needed 15 pts needed.
The first day at the Non-Sporting Specialty, Hime catches the eye of the judge who not only awards her 1st in Bred-By but also gives her Winners Bitch AND Best Opposite Sex over all the female adult specials in the ring to earn a 5pt major.
The next day at the National Specialty Hime is awarded Reserve Winners Bitch out of the huge Bred-By class for a very special honor being awarded a 3pt major. This can only be done at a National and only if there are 3 times the number of class females needed to earn a 5pt major!
At the last specialty, the Parent Specialty, Hime is awarded 1st in Bred-By then on to Winners Bitch for a 5pt major. For Best of Breed Hime then adds BEST OF WINNERS over the class male and Best Opposite Sex over all of the female adult specials. I was floored and tears were welling up. The judge then added to all the craziness and gave Hime and I BEST OWNER HANDLER over several adult male and female specials. This is a huge honor as the one dog that beat Hime for Best of Breed was on a Professional Handler. I did all this myself with Hime all the way from the Bred-By Class!
Well we couldn't end all the winning there. Hime and I go on to win a Group 1st in the Owner Handler Non-Sporting, beating out some amazing breeds and owners. A few Shiba lovers remained behind to root for us in BEST IN SHOW. I could see the judge looking at me but thought maybe we had a shot at Reserve. When she gave the Reserve to another owner I thought, "its all good, we've done so much already this weekend, too much to ask". I began flowing with tears when the Judge walked over to us and a said THIS IS MY BEST IN SHOW TODAY, THE SHIBA INU!! I get so emotional just typing this. It is so tough in the ring for shibas and to do all this with a 6mo old puppy who, only weeks before, was just old enough to compete. I am so blessed and grateful!
