We started our little wolf-pack in 1998 with the
feisty CH Redsky's Strider
Baggins. Like most first time Shiba owners we were eagerly naive, but also
quick studies. Our excitement and enthusiasm in training and showing
Strider
made up for the lack of experience. We survived and succeeded with the
support of our friend and mentor, Carolyn Kaufmann of
Windcastle Shibas of
California, and soon had our first Champion.
After a year of anticipation, Carolyn graciously gave us her
pick-of-the-litter female puppy, the elegant "CH Windcastle's Starlet,"
to help us establish the Evenstar Shibas hobby kennel. Starlet soon let
Strider
know who rules the pack. A therapy dog and Canine Good Citizen, Starlet is
a
loving mother with an outstanding temperament. She has produced excellent
show and companion puppies.

.In 2001, we kept one of Starlet's daughters, the delightful "CH
Windcastle's
Kirameki of Evenstar." Kira is a
charming and loyal companion, with beautiful conformation. We are looking forward to the contribution Kira
will
make our kennel.
We are members of the National Shiba Club of America, and follow the
ethical
guidelines and breeding practices outlined by the Club. We actively
support
and assist Shiba rescue clubs, both on a local and national level. We also
support our local SPCA. As long time students of clicker training, we work
with our dogs in conformation, obedience and agility. But in all of this
we
just love raising puppies. We delight in discovering the perfect home for
each of these happy, affectionate, and loving companions. We have been fortunate in making many new friends and are constantly expanding our
knowledge of this remarkable breed.
