I am very proud of Mei's performance & look forward to more shows with her.

New Champion, Huui!

Ilsonyo Hai Yuu

Huui had a fabulous weekend at the Bundaberg Canine Club, collecting his final points towards his Australian Championship Title & adding another Best Puppy in Group to his growing tally! We are wrapped!

Big thanks to Nicole Onley for piloting Huui to his final points while Bronwyn was away on holidays & Megan was working at the shows.

Huui is co-owned & usually presented by Bronwyn Frewen-Lord.

New Champion, Aiko! 

Ilsonyo Crimson & Clover J.C

Having only 10 shows in her life, 6 of those in July this year, Aiko is already a BEST IN SHOW & RUNNER-UP BEST IN SHOW winner & finished her title at Maryborough Kennel Club this past Friday.

Aiko is cared for & loved by Danny Rada. Hats off to Dan for all the work he put in to getting enough of the girl's coat back on after a wicked coat blow in early August.

We are very proud of Aiko's achievements & look forward to her babies in 2023.

This past weekend, Fumi (Ilsonyo Fumi No Yuu) had her first two shows competing against the big kids at Beaudesert Kennel Club.

Huui (Ilsonyo Hai Yuu) & his co-owner, Bronwyn Frewen-Lord, competed in their first weekend of shows together at the Kyogle Cluster this past weekend.

Big Congratulations on Huui's first Baby in Group! I'm sure it will be the beginning of a bright future ahead!

I'm very proud of you both!

Shibas are indeed athletic!

Aiko (Ilsonyo Crimson And Clover J.C) was back out on the course after more than a 12 month break while she attended to maternal duties. She sure didn't forget what it was all about, taking to the course with incredible enthusiasm.

Aiko brought home her first PASS in Cousing Ability! I am very proud of Aiko's achievements thus far and look forward to having her back on the course & in the show rings in the not too distant future.

Much credit & gratitude to Aiko's co-owner, Danny Rada, for keeping Aiko in tip top shape & allowing her to play lure & show dogs.

On the 20th March 2022, we welcomed a most exciting litter between;

"Taiyou" 

Aust. Supreme. Ch Shouowariryuu 

Go Kagisou - Import Japan

(Loved & Owned by Edwina Thomas)

&

"Mika" 

Am. Ch. Kuromika Akakiyosou - Import USA

The red male "Haiyuu" will be co-owned & shown in SEQ, sister "Izumi" has settled with her new family in NSW while black & tan girl "Fumi" has remained here with us.

We are very pleased with their development thus far & excited for the future!

The day has finally come, today we welcomed home our glorious "Mika" - Am Ch Kuromika Akakiyosou - Imp USA.

Mika brings with her an exceptional head, eye & expression, a balanced & moderate structure, correct coloured coat with ideal course texture along with the most beautiful nature.

With a pedigree that features multiple NIPPO Grand National Winners along with many influential sires & dams from Japan & USA, we are excited to see what Mika will achieve in the show rings and the whelping room.

I am eternally grateful to Leslie Anderson (Lesand/Akakiyosou Shiba - USA) for allowing Mika to grace our home.

We are delighted to welcome 4 babies from the long awaited combination of;

"Kuro" 

Aust. Ch. Morningstar Kurokoma Go Yukan Sou - Import USA

(Loved & Owned by Anna-Lee Forsberg)

&

"Aiko" 

Ilsonyo Crimson And Clover JC

(Loved & Co-Owned by Danny Rada)

We are grateful to both of these dog's owners/co-owners for making this breeding possible. 

These babies are half siblings to our beautiful "Carly" Aust Ch Ilsonyo Black Magic Woman. We are excited to see what the future holds.

While Aiko is looking rather moth-bitten (still blowing coat), we ventured out to the Brisbane Lure Coursing Club meet. As you can tell by the picture, Aiko absolutely loves Lure Coursing. We just love seeing our dogs have so much fun.

We're very proud to announce that Aiko earned the final pass required for her Junior Courser Title and can now be known as Ilsonyo Crimson And Clover J.C.

To the best of our research, it would seem Aiko is the only Shiba in Australia with a Lure Coursing Title!
