Hi, my name is Shannon, I live in the bay suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, with my husband, 2 son’s and our beautiful Japanese Spitz.  When I first saw the Japanese Spitz at a Brisbane Pet and Animal Expo in 1998, I fell in love at first sight, how could you not!

My husband and I were looking for our first dog. His only two requirements were that it did not “smell” and that it did not slobber”. We had in mind a smallish dog but not too small and one that would not fret if it was left alone during the day while we were at work. Now in saying that the Japanese Spitz is a dog that needs to be with you but they are also very independent and enjoy their own space and time. So the Japanese Spitz was a perfect match for us. I too, as most do immediately thought that it would be a high maintenance dog with such a lovely white and long coat. But much to my amazement they are actually a low maintenance dog.

So for someone who just wanted a pet dog, I am now an avid exhibitor and have had the breed for 25+ years and I have the Top Winning Japanese Spitz in the country. I am able to continually breed quality dogs that represent the breed with the highest standard. Conformation, type and temperament are paramount to me. I had the Japanese Spitz stand at the Brisbane Pet and Animal Expo for the 5 years the event took place, where I would take in my dogs for the 3 days and exhibit and educate the public on this rare and beautiful breed.  I have presented the breed and the breed standard to trainee judges to assist them in learning about the Japanese Spitz which they are required to do to become championship show judges, and I am on the committee of an All Breeds Club and the Secretary of the Qld Japanese Spitz Club.  I am a licensed Australian National Kennel Council Judge and I can judge Non Sporting, Toys and Hounds at Championship Level and Working at Open Show Level.

So whether you are looking for an additional family member or a champion show dog remember me, as a caring, loving and reputable exhibitor and breeder and someone that cares about the health and the homes her puppies go to.
