I can also proudly announce that for the second consecutive year, ILSONYO have been accorded...

These things don't happen alone. It takes a small village of family, supportive friends & breeders who trust in you. For these people, I am always grateful and extended my sincere appreciation to our Team who made this happen.
2026 will be another big year of travel, with several interstate trips currently pencilled in, including Adelaide, Perth and various NSW locations. If you'd like to meet us/some of our dogs at a show, please reach out.
We also have several very exciting litter plans in 2026. The first of those litters, in conjunction with our dear friends KazokuShiba, should hopefully make their appearance in late-February 2026. Planned 2026 breedings will soon be announced on our Available page. You are most welcome to contact us for further information.
Until next time...
To you & yours, From me & mine - Wishing you a Safe & Prosperous 2026.
