About Us
We are Phil and Cindy Scala. After 22 years of living in NJ, we just relocated to Townsend, Delaware! We now have lots more room for the dogs I have always been involved with animals, especially dogs all of my life. As a child, my family had German Shepherd Dogs and Akita's. We did some showing with them in breed and obedience. My goal was to be a veterinarian, but that wasn't meant to be. I went to college, received my Bachelor of Science degree in biology and after a few years went back to school to be a Perfusionist. I operate the heart lung machine during open heart surgery. I have been doing this since 1992. My wife, Cindy, is also a health care professional. We became involved with Shibas in after we lost our 12 year old German Shepherd. He was a great pet and companion. We waited two years and decided we were ready for another dog. We saw a Shiba Inu and decided that was the breed for us! We did research and acquired "Teddy" (Ch Asahanna's Teddy Gram of Tengai AOM, RN, CGC) in early 2005. He finished his championship at 10 months old. He was our first Shiba and did extremely well. We received him from Pauline Moilanen of Asa hanna Shiba Inu. Pauline and her son Jeremy Hohman have been a tremendous help and support system in our dog show experience so far. They are mentors and friends. We then received our bitch, "Ginger" (Ch Asahannas Gingersnap of Tengai), who again, was extremely lucky to finish at a young age (11 months old). Ginger has proven herself as a great foundation bitch. We are Exhibitors and breeders of healthy quality well rounded Shiba Inu puppies. Our dogs are pets first, show dogs second. They live in our home (and on our couch) with us most of the time. They also spend time out in the yard for exercise when the weather is favorable. Please visit our dogs to see and learn more about them. To date we have "finished" ten dogs to their championship, with six of those being bred by us. We feed our dogs a "Raw Diet" which is a more correct diet. It is a natural healthy diet for dogs. It keeps their teeth clean among the other many benefits. My dogs eat raw meaty bones; chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, rabbit, fish, and various organ meats. We recommend this diet to our new puppy homes If you would like to learn more about feeding a raw diet please for more information. Also check out our links page for more information.
