The Shiba Inu Fanciers of Northern Calif. was formed in April of 1998, with 29 charter members. It has since grown over the years to a record 82 members. The club holds monthly meetings, and all members are encouraged to attend.

The SFNC has sponsored and participated in many different activities. This includes hosting the Annual Shiba Picnics for the last 10 years (last year we had 112 Shibas and their owners attend!), an educational booth at the Cupertino Cherry Blossom Festival for the last eight years, and have provided public education at the Cow Palace benched show for the last nine years.We also have our own rescue fund within the club, and support Shiba rescue here in Northern California.

We are an AKC-licensed club that, each year, holds two Regional Specialties in one day at the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo California prior to the Coyote Hills all breed shows in mid-May. The 2009 Regional Specialties will be held on May 15. See the Event section for more details. We are a NSCA member club and an AKC sanctioned club.

The SFNC will have its 19th annual Shiba Party in Novato at the end of May. We invite everyone to attend that has a Shiba, would like to have one, or just loves the breed. We usually have over 150 people and their dogs that enjoy the food, fun contests and huge raffle. For further information on SFNC events go to our Events page.

The purpose of the Shiba Inu Fanciers of Northern California is to protect and advance the interests of the registered Shiba Inu. Our Code of Ethics is designed to establish a standard of conduct to be followed by all members of the Shiba Inu Fanciers of Northern California (aka SFNC), in order to promote the highest ideals among Shiba Inu owners and breeders, and aim for the continuous improvement of the breed within the framework of The National Shiba Club of America and The American Kennel Club approved breed standard.
