He was bred at my request by Trina & Ian Kennard. In his younger years in the Show Ring he won Multi Best in Group, Class In Group & Class In Show awards. "Apu" is not available for Public Stud.

He is an exceptional representative of the Shiba Inu. "Not Just A Show Dog".

At present he is in "Semi-Retirement", only enters the occasional Show, and still picks up the occasional Award.

As he matured he became a sweet & gentle dog, so much so that he is now involved in the "Pet Therapy Dog Program" with the Caring Canine Companions of the Golden Retriever Club of South Australia, visits various Aged Care Facilities in Adelaide and helps the Aged & Frail to enjoy life just that little bit more. He is loved so much by the Residents who await his arrival with excitement & anticipation. He will position himself so the Aged & Frail may pet and stroke him with ease. He is especially gentle with them and will take any morsel of food offered so carefully. Even after a break to renew his coat "Poo" remembers exactly where he is going and what is expected of him.

At home he generally spends most of his time just laying about and getting under your feet if there is even the slightest suggestion of the possibility he may get some food. Which accounts for his rather "Tubby" body.
