Shima Onida Kennels

Breeder of Northern Inuit Wolf Look a like Dogs

About Us

 Well where do we start, My story of becoming a Northern Inuit Owner & soon to be breeder.For more years than I can remember I have adored Wolves,only ever being able to view them in Zoo's and Animal parks.Always behind bars!

Having owned GSD's for over 20yrs I found myself in the position of being able to have another dog and decided to try a new breed.I had heard of wolf Hybrids,Sarloos Wolf Dogs and also Czech Wolfdogs but most of these required a dangerous dogs license from your local council,this can be very costly as they can make up any price per year and also you are not allowed to take a licensed animal off your property to walk it! What a life for any poor animal! 

Anyway while my daughter was searching the Internet(fountain of all knowledge!)she came across the Northern Inuit and the Utonargan.Having read all possible and checking out both breeds i decided that the Northern Inuit was for me.I had seen some very wolfy looking ones and a lot that where not to wolfy at all.

Anyway on Dec 23rd 06 i was able to bring my furry bundle of joy home,having chosen her when she was 3 days old. That puppy was Tala.

Since then I have acquired 3 more, 2 which have been re homed and another from a 12 week old puppy! Be warned they are very addictive!!!!Please be advised that these dogs crave human companionship and if left alone for long periods they will trash you home!!This is due to them needing more attention than the more popular breeds.If you work full time they are not an ideal breed to own,however you can kennel them in the garden with toys and another dog and they will do far less damage than if they where home alone!!!

The name Shima Onida means "Mother - the one I have been searching for" Both Shima & Onida are from the Native American languages,and as we are trying to capture the look of the wolf I thought it would be nice to use the Native American names and Music on my site. All music is by a lady called Mary Young Blood who is a top Native American Artist.
