I first became involved in Shiba Inu in 1994, and registered this Kennel name in 2000.

Having moved on from breed to breed over the years, I started (Albeit very briefly) with a Samoyed and then moved onto German Shepherd Dogs (Feldspan) in the late 70's, Exhibited a Newfoundland in the 80's. A after seeing Tina Spurling's Shiba Inu in the 90's I decided that, seeing age was creeping up on me, this was the Breed for me to show. I didn’t think they moved very fast. It came as quite a shock to find out, the hard way, just how fast this breed can move.

It was too late to change my mind as this breed had found a place in my heart. So "Aaczar Shiba Inu Kennels" came to be.

Aaczar Shiba Inu are exhibited most weekends. If I show only one or two they travel to Shows on the back seat of the car in their boxes, with the exception of Amba who "lords" it over the others by travelling sitting on the seat in her harness, (which she loves, as she can see all that the others can't.) Of course, if we travel away the trailer becomes their second home.

Now-a-days when-ever my Shiba are shown it generally develops into a discussion who will handle them, as so many people enjoy them in the ring, Tara Jones (Alaskan Malamute), Dianne Brown (Samoyed), and if she can, my Wife, (Nicky), may occasionally get the lead in her hands.
