Last Samurai is permanently registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) and registered with NIPPO. Our mission is to breed genetically healthy, temperament-tested Samoyeds and Shiba Inus.
Our Akita and Akita Inu programs have been retired, and we only take part in the nationwide rescue for these breeds. We carefully select our dams and sires for their temperaments and physical traits. All dogs in our breeding programs undergo OFA health testing, including evaluations of the hips, elbows, thyroid, eyes, and heart, as well as genetic testing for congenital conditions.
We’re proud to be ethical breeders, raising dogs with care and love to be healthy, well-tempered, and true to their breeds. You can visit our Last Samurai Kennel website for more details on the breeding program.
Anastassia Kibzoun-Shtefan is a member in good standing of the CKC and an active member of the Canadian Akita Club (CAC), Grey Bruce Kennel and Obedience Club (GBKOC), and Samoyed Association of Canada (SAC). She serves as Ontario Regional Director on the SAC Board of Directors and provides rescue and foster care for Samoyeds in need.
Last Samurai Kennel is proud to support breed preservation and participate in a nationwide rescue network. Visit our Facebook page for kennel news, litters, and updates.
