Bali Hai was first established in early 1999 when we acquired our first Shiba Inu "BALI HAI"; hence our name. We had previously been Elwood Kennels and were involved in the breeding of Miniature Pinschers. We are located in EASTERN LONG ISLAND (Suffolk County), NEW YORK.

We are a small hobbyist consisting of 9 Shibas. We produce anywhere from 3-7 puppies a year. Staying small enables me to put the necessary time into each individual puppy. All of our puppies are home raised and handled constantly from birth for socialization purposes.

All of our puppies are sold under a spay/neuter contract. Dogs being sold for show or breeding purposes are sold only to qualified or "pre-approved" homes. All of our puppies are retained with us until at least 10 weeks of age. We occasionally retain a puppy as a show prospect. In these circumstances I may hold onto puppies a few weeks longer for evaluation purposes.  Our puppies are started on housebreaking & crate training prior to departure. All of our puppies are vaccinated with at least 2 shots, are wormed a minimum 4 times as well as micro chipped prior to pick up.

All of our breeding stock have been x-rayed & OFA'd for hips, elbows and patella, as well as also having their eyes certified on a regular basis against any genetic defects. Our dogs also have annual veterinary examinations to assure they are in top condition. We breed for correct color, conformation and most importantly temperament. We require a $200.00 deposit to reserve puppies from upcoming litters and half the balance is required on puppies who are already on the ground. We usually only produce 1-2 litters per year, so reserving ahead is recommended.  All potential new owners are required to visit before I will accept a deposit.
