Welcome to Shiba Country----where Shiba Inus Rule!
Shiba
Inus are a relatively new dog breed in the U.S. though they have
been prized for hundreds of years in their native Japan along with
their bigger and brawnier (and somewhat better known) cousins the
Akita.
Originally raised as hunting dogs, Shibas make excellent pets for
individuals and families who want a big dog 'attitude" and a "call
of the wild" look like a husky or shepherd yet will fit
comfortably on your car seat, couch, or bed with ample room left
over for you.
Shibas
are high energy dogs that can play hard with larger dogs or with you
and your kids yet can also climb up on your lap and kiss you without
you feeling the least overwhelmed or crushed. They are excellent
jumpers and runners (but not barkers) and make wonderful agility
dogs.
Shibas come in several colors and patterns but all share an
outgoing and affectionate nature that says to the people in their
lives, "lets go for it all the way and have fun while we're doing
it!!!!"
