ILSONYO is a dedicated Shiba Inu breeding business located in Brisbane, Queensland, led by Megan Shuttlewood. With a passion for the Shiba Inu breed that began in 2010, ILSONYO focuses on producing high-quality puppies that are not only show prospects but also cherished family companions. The breeding philosophy emphasizes health, happiness, and well-being, ensuring that each dog is raised in a loving home environment rather than a traditional kennel facility. This approach allows for a more personalized care experience, where the dogs are treated as part of the family.
At ILSONYO, the breeding process is selective and intentional, with a commitment to adhering to both the FCI/Dogs Australia Breed Standard and the NIPPO Breed Standard. All breeding animals undergo rigorous health testing, including hip and patella scores and eye examinations, to ensure the best genetic outcomes. The business prides itself on its involvement in the pedigree dog world since 1995, and it actively participates in various dog clubs, including the Nihonken Hozonkai (NIPPO) and the National Shiba Club of America. This extensive experience and network allow ILSONYO to continually improve its breeding practices and the quality of its dogs.
ILSONYO also offers a unique benefit to new puppy owners, providing one month of free pet insurance with every puppy purchased. This initiative reflects the business’s commitment to the well-being of its dogs even after they leave the home. With a focus on education and community, ILSONYO is not just about breeding; it’s about fostering a love for the Shiba Inu breed and ensuring that each puppy finds a loving and responsible home.
