MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BREEDING PROGRAM
REGISTRATION
ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE FULLY REGISTERED WITH THE IRISH KENNEL CLUB AND THE FCI.
We are proud members of the Irish Kennel Club (IKC) and the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). We abide entirely by the Code of Ethics and the Rules and Regulations of the Irish Kennel Club which relate to Responsible Dog Ownership and Breeding. As we are not Resident in the UK, we are unable to join the UK Kennel Club's Assured Breeder's Scheme, we do however abide by all of the recommendations and guidelines which they set out for their Members. All of our dogs are Registered with the UK Kennel Club for Competition. Since 2022, Lacsar has also been a Member of NIPPO (Nippon Ken) in Japan. Some of our puppies are dual registered, with the IKC & NIPPO.

PEDIGREES
ALL OUR DOGS COME FROM CAREFULLY SELECTED, WELL ESTABLISHED PEDIGREE BLOODLINES
Our puppies come from carefully selected, well-established bloodlines with strong pedigrees behind them. We place great importance on maintaining correct breed type, temperament and health, and we only breed from dogs that meet our high standards both in the show ring and as companions. Our breeding programme focuses on preserving the traditional characteristics of the Japanese Shiba Inu, and some of our dog's pedigrees can be traced back as far as the 1930s. We have imported dogs from as far afield as Japan, Russia and Scandinavia in our endeavours to prioritise sound structure, good temperament and long-term wellbeing. All of our dogs come from internationally recognised bloodlines, we feel that this gives our puppies a solid pedigree foundation and the best possible start in life.

GENETIC & HEALTH TESTING
WE ENSURE THE HEALTH OF OUR LACSAR PUPPIES BY ONLY BREEDING FROM ADULT DOGS WHO HAVE BEEN HEALTH AND DNA TESTED CLEAR FOR DISEASES/CONDITIONS THAT ARE KNOWN TO AFFECT THE SHIBA INU BREED, MEANING WE ONLY PRODUCE THE HEALTHIEST PUPPIES POSSIBLE.
All of our dogs are tested for all genetic diseases that are known to commonly affect the Shiba Inu breed. We follow all breeding guidelines as set out by both the Irish Kennel Club and the Kennel Club in the UK. We spend hundreds of euro on health tests for each of our dogs to ensure we can do everything in our power to prevent breeding puppies with avoidable genetic health problems. We strongly advise that you never buy a puppy from a breeder who doesn't health test their dogs, as we believe that there is no excuse for not wanting to produce the healthiest puppies possible.
All of our dog's health test results can be found on their individual pages on this website.
Details of the Health and DNA Tests that we complete can be found below:
DNA TESTED CLEAR FOR GANGLIOSIDOSIS GM1 AND GANGLIOSIDOSIS GM2 (SANDHOFF DISEASE).
All of our dogs are genetically clear for Gangliosidosis GM1 and GM2. Dogs can be DNA Tested with various different laboratories internationally for Gangliosidosis GM1 and Gangliosidosis GM2 prior to being bred from. Gangliosidosis is a disease that affects an animal's lysosomal storage. Dogs affected with the disease are unable to break down specific carbohydrates which causes damage to the central nervous system. Gangliosidosis eventually proves fatal to affected dogs by about 15 months of age. This is why it is vital that Shiba Inus are tested for this disease before they are bred from. We strongly recommend only buying Shiba Inu puppies from Breeders who DNA test their dogs for these diseases. Always ask a Breeder to show you a copy of your puppy's parent's DNA Results.
SCREENED FOR GLAUCOMA AND HAVE RECIEVED THE RESULTS APPROVED FOR BREEDING.
Before breeding from our Japanese Shiba Inus they are brought to a Veterinary Ophthalmologist where they have Gonioscopy examinations carried out. A gonioscopy is the test which is performed in order to establish if a dog is affected by a condition called glaucoma. Glaucoma is an inherited condition that causes severe pain, and in severe cases, can lead to blindness. Glaucoma is caused by high intraocular pressure (high fluid pressure inside the eye). Gonioscopy results were originally classified as Grade 0 (unaffected), Grade 1 (mildly affected), Grade 2 (moderately affected) or Grade 3 (severely affected), this has recently changed, and the 0 Grade has been abolished. The optimum score is now Grade 1. We will only breed from dogs who attain the Gonioscopy results desired by the UK Kennel Club's Assured Breeders Scheme. All of our current dog's Glaucoma results are either Grade 0 or Grade 1; something which we are very pleased about.
EYE TESTED CLEAR / UNAFFECTED UNDER THE BVA'S CANINE EYE SCREENING SCHEME.
Every one of our dogs undergoes a full BVA Eye Screening before they are bred from (i.e. females having a litter or males being used at stud). The BVA (British Veterinary Association) eye screening is carried out by a highly qualified Veterinary Ophthalmologist (of which there are only two in Ireland). There are many types of hereditary eye diseases that can affect dogs, the most common being cataracts, multifocal retinal dysplasia (MRD) and pectinate ligament abnormality, most frequently referred to as PRA. These conditions can have serious effects on a dog's health and welfare, causing pain, blindness or the need for lifelong medication and veterinary care. Thankfully, each of our dogs here at Lacsar have been successfully BVA Eye Screened and have been issued a CHS Eye Examination Certificate which states that they are Clinically Unaffected for each of the conditions that have been tested for.
PATELLA SCORED WITH THE DESIRED GRADE 0/0 RESULTS.
All of our dogs are patella tested and certified as highly unlikely to develop or produce patellar luxation. Patellar luxation is a condition where the kneecap slips out of place, which can cause lameness and discomfort and in severe cases may require surgical intervention. Patella scoring is done through the Putnam 1986 Grading System, the ideal score is Grade 0. We are pleased that all of our current breeding dogs have Grade 0 Patella Scores. This is generally written as 0/0 (meaning both legs have graded 0.) By testing for this condition, we further minimise the risk of hereditary joint problems and ensure our breeding dogs are physically sound.
HIP SCORED WITH RESULTS WITHIN THE MARGINS ADVISED FOR BREEDING
In recent years, it has become increasingly common for reputable Shiba Inu breeders to hip score their dogs before planning a litter. Hip scoring helps to identify the risk of hip dysplasia, a condition that can cause pain, stiffness and mobility issues later in life. Many of our breeding dogs have already been hip scored, we aim for all of them to be tested in the foreseeable future. Hip scoring is carried out using digital X-rays taken by a registered veterinarian and submitted to VetScoring in Australia, where they are independently assessed by a panel of specialist veterinary radiologists to provide an objective and reliable evaluation of each dog’s hip health. Only those with appropriate results within the recommended margins are used in our breeding programme. This helps reduce the likelihood of passing on hip problems and supports the long-term health and comfort of our dogs and their puppies.

INTERESTED IN ADDING A LACSAR PUPPY TO YOUR HOME?
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROCESS OF ADDING A PUPPY TO YOUR FAMILY AND WHAT TO EXPECT
We spare no expense when rearing our puppies. Puppies we breed are all well socialised, having been handled by adults and children from a young age and introduced to other dogs prior to finding their new homes. Each puppy bred by us is Irish Kennel Club Registered, microchipped, worm dosed and will have received their primary set of vaccines prior to leaving us. Under no circumstances will puppies be allowed to leave for their new homes before 8 weeks of age.
HOW TO JOIN OUR PUPPY WAITING LIST
If you wish for us to consider you as a potential future owner of a Lacsar puppy, we would appreciate if you could complete our Puppy Enquiry Form on the "Contact Us" page of our website. Provided we are satisfied that you would offer one of our puppies a suitable home, we will get in touch with you to discuss adding you to our waiting list. Ideally, we like to meet all potential puppy owners before they come to collect a puppy, however this is not always possible. We are always more than happy for future puppy owners to come visit us at home, alternatively, we can arrange to meet at a dog show to get to chat to you in person. Please be aware that we are not a 'business', we do not have a constant supply of puppies. Generally we breed litters around twice a year, only when we want a puppy to keep for ourselves. Many people wait a long time to get a puppy from us, since each litter we breed takes much time and consideration. Please be understanding of this before contacting us. Viewings of puppies and their dam are normally possible when pups are over 6/7 weeks old and have received their first vaccination. If we have used our own stud dog on the litter concerned, he will be available for viewing too.
EACH OF OUR PUPPIES LEAVE HERE WITH A PERSONALISED PUPPY PACK
Every puppy we sell will leave for its new home with a unique, personalised puppy pack. This puppy pack will include a folder of important documents (including Irish Kennel Club registration papers, a 3 generation pedigree, a records of the puppy's microchip, vaccinations and worm doses) along with leaflets created by ourselves in relation to grooming and training. A puppy's new owner will also get a 2kg sample bag of the Puppy Food (which the puppy will have been reared on since weaning) and a blanket and toys which the puppy will be familiar with the scent of, this helps them to adapt and settle into their new homes. Most importantly, we offer all new puppy owner's a lifetime of support, we are always just a phone call away with regard any dog we have bred, no matter how long ago it may have been. We love to receive regular updates to see how dogs we have bred are getting on and take any opportunity to meet them as adults.
ALL PET PUPPIES BRED BY US ARE ENDORSED WITH BREEDING RESTRICTIONS
All pet puppies bred by us are registered with the Irish Kennel Club on their Limited Register. This means that their registration will be endorsed with the Irish Kennel Club as 'Not for Breeding' and 'Not for Export'. The result of this being that the Irish Kennel Club will never register progeny from these dogs, nor will any other country's Kennel Club accept an application to register the dog with that Kennel Club. Alongside these Irish Kennel Club endorsements, all pet puppies which we breed are sold on "Pet Only Contracts". This means that when buying a pet puppy, the new owner will be required to sign a legally binding contract in which they will agree that their puppy will not be bred from at any time. The purpose of these contracts is to protect the future of the breed and to ensure that our dogs never end up in the wrong hands. Feel free to contact us if you are an established breeder interested in buying a puppy for breeding / show.
EXPORT OF PUPPIES IS POSSIBLE FOR SHOW AND PET HOMES INTERNATIONALLY
We have previously exported puppies to countries such as Sweden, Finland, Barbados, Australia, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and South Africa, to name a few. Export of puppies is possible, however under EU law, a puppy can not leave Ireland until at least 21 days after a rabies vaccine has been administered and an EU Pet Passport has been issued, this means that the youngest a puppy can leave us at is 15 weeks of age. Some countries have additional requirements and age restrictions for importing of dogs / puppies, so it is important to be familiar with these before enquiring with us about exporting. When a puppy is being kept for export, an additional boarding fee may apply. Since Brexit, the same rules now also apply to exporting dogs and puppies from the Republic of Ireland to the United Kingdom.
WE VERY OCCASIONALLY HAVE ADULT DOGS AVAILABLE FOR REHOMING
We do very occasionally have older retired show dogs available to loving pet homes within Ireland. Retired show dogs will be spayed/castrated, provided they are old enough, prior to leaving us. Please contact us for more information.
THE BREED STANDARD
THE BREED STANDARD OF THE JAPANESE SHIBA INU
A Breed Standard is the guideline which describes the ideal characteristics, temperament and appearance of a breed. In essence, a Breed Standard is a blueprint for the ideal animal, with the main aim being that the animal is fit for the function for which it was bred; whether it be herding, tracking, etc. Breed Standards may vary slightly between from countries and organisations. The Irish Kennel Club is a member of the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale), meaning that dog shows held in Ireland are done so through the rules of the FCI and under the Breed Standards set out by them. The links below will direct you to the different Breed Standards that have been issued by various Kennel Clubs.
Japanese Shiba Inu - Group 5 (Spitz and Primitive Breeds) - FCI Japanese Shiba Inu FCI Breed Standard
Japanese Shiba Inu - Utility Group - Royal Kennel Club UK Japanese Shiba Inu Breed Standard
Shiba Inu - Non-Sporting Group - American Kennel Club Shiba Inu Breed Standard
Shiba Inu - Japanese Dog Preservation Society (Published 1934) - NIPPO Shiba Breed Standard

THE COLOURS OF THE JAPANESE SHIBA INU
WHITE / CREAM
White / Cream Shiba Inus can't be shown in Ireland but can in the UK. We don't breed many white puppies but they do occasionally come about. |
RED
The most popular and most common Shiba colour. Most of the Lacsar puppies that are born are a red colour, some are darker shades than others. |
BLACK & TAN
This colour is becoming increasingly popular and more sought after. We have bred some beautiful Champion Black & Tans over the years. |
RED SESAME
The rarest and arguably most difficult colour to breed. We hope to be able to breed more lovely red sesames in the near future. Watch this space! |
