Red Barn Kennel is owned and operated by Fred and Sharon Loney. We spent 35 years in the city of Des Moines, Iowa. Then we decided to move to the country and we started raising Boxers in 1999. We found the Shiba Inu and fell in love with them and then the Papillon. We are located 3 1/2 miles east of Chariton, Iowa, that is in the south central part of Iowa.
We are raising different breeds of dogs, Boxer, Papillon, Shiba
Inu, Pug, and Pembroke Welsh Corgi. All of our dogs are AKC registered, played
with daily, and well socialized when they leave to there new adopted homes. We have several adult dogs, all of
which we call our pets. Look in our Photo Album to see some of our pictures of our
Boxer, Papillon, Shiba Inu, Pug, and Pembroke Welsh
Corgi playing. Please visit our Puppies page to search for
available puppies.
If you would like additional information or pictures of a certain color of dog or puppy, please e-mail or give us a call.
The picture on this page is Dewey’s Dr. Zeus and Sharon’s Little Miss Dolly. These two dogs were in our very first litter. We saved them back because we thought they would make a nice addition to our kennel.

The Papillon is a very smart dog and his energy level is high. The Papillon loves children and other pets. The Papillon makes a very good watchdog, but he is not a good guard dog due to his size. The Papillon has medium maintenance hair coat.
The Shiba Inu is a small sized dog. The Shiba Inu has an outgoing personality and good nature. The Shiba Inu needs consistent and firm training and he will respond well. The Shiba Inu is another large dog in a small body. Shiba Inu are loyal and most can sense what you are feeling. The Shiba Inu needs human interaction and should not be left alone in an unfenced yard, he needs a fenced yard to run and exercise. Shiba’s have a unique “Shiba Cry”, barking only when they have reason. They love their toys; play time, and quiet time with their person (you). Shiba Inu has a low maintenance hair coat, except when shedding; their nails need regular care. The Shiba Inu is great with kids if they have been raised with them.
The Pug is a member of the Toy Group, not weighing more than 20 lbs when full grown. The Pug is outgoing, playful and possess charm. The Pug is even-tempered, adapts easily to any situation and is a good dog for apartment or for large yards. The Pug is one that wants to please his owners. Great care must be taken around the eyes of a Pug because they are easily scratched.
