On Tuesday, December 23, 2008 we were certified in the dealers Best Health Practices program. We are the third dealer in the US to be certified in this program, sponsored by the AKCA's Project KHV. The BHP Certification program, spear-headed by Spike Cover, was formed by Project KHV to help dealers and hobbiests alike. This certfication requires dealers and wholesalers to follow strict bio-security protocols in order to minimize the risk of spreading the Koi Herpes Virus (KHV) to hobbiests.
Dr. Scott Weber, DVM from UC Davis Aquatic Veterinary Sciences came to our store to examine our compliance with the required protocols, and determined that we are certifiable (OK, we knew that, but now we are truely certified by the BHP program).
Here is a photo of the Certificate that is in the mail for Dr. Weber's signature.
We have opened a new online store and we have Koi available to purchase!

PSKoi
specializes in carrying high quality Japanese Koi at reasonable prices.
We buy our Koi from well-known breeders, such as Toshio Sakai, Masaru Hosokai, Futoshi Maruyama
and Tsuyoshi Kawakami, who take pride in providing beautiful, healthy fish.
We
place Koi health as one of our highest priorities. We continually strive
to educate ourselves by studying current Koi health practices.
We are pleased to be a part of
Project KHV's dealers Best Health Practices program.We have been privileged to study Koi quality and health practices with Mr. Toshio Sakai, of Isawa Nishikigoi Center, and we will continue to learn from our trips to Japan as we visit breeders.
We also believe it is important to help our customers learn as much
about the Koi knowledge we are acquiring, and we provide them with
educational seminars, information sheets, club information, and we post
on various Koi forums to show people what it is like to travel to Japan
and see the beautiful Koi and generous breeders that we have come to
know and love.
All of our Japanese Koi come from Breeders that have been certified by the Japanese Government to be KHV and SVC safe for 2 years.
