Our Story
My Boy's Koi started exactly where the name implies. When our son at around 4 months old showed an increasing obsession with fish of all types, we decided to get him a few of his own to watch at home. Not wanting a standard goldfish tank, and with both of us having a keen interest in carp fishing in the past, Koi seemed like the logical choice....and that's where the MBK story began...
Our journey as a family started way before this point. We actually met working in a dog rescue back in 2018, and fell in love over our other passion....dogs. We rescued our 2 dogs, Axl & Ada and eventually left the rescue together to start our first business, a natural dog store, in a market stall in Liverpool.
We built up from our stall, through to a shop, and 3 expansions. We worked throughout covid, delivering dog necessities all over the city, and in 2022 welcomed our little boy into the world.
Up until this point we lived and breathed dog care, health, nutrition and behaviour, but in 2023, around 7 months after Danny had jumped into the Koi hobby at full speed, and when Mikey was barely a year old, we decided we wanted more. We left the city in search for adventures elsewhere, and North Wales called out to us.
The move and the new massive space around us meant Danny was able to gain his pet shop license and MBK became an official Japanese Koi dealer. MBK grew rapidly with customers loving our real-life, family orientated attitude. Danny recorded our journey week on week and we started Sunday auctions on Youtube gaining a great following and creating our own family of MBK supporters that grows week on week.
And so that pretty much brings us to today....join us for the rest of it.
