Shiba Inu

FCI 257 . Asian Spitz and related breeds

The Shiba Inu It is an ancient breed of Japanese dog. It is also known as Shiba or Shiba Ken. Shiba means "small" and "Inu» or «Ken» means «dog» in Japanese.

The Shiba It is the smallest of the six recognized Japanese dog breeds.

Historical representatives of the breed were much smaller and short-legged than current specimens. Mountain farmers kept them as farm dogs and to hunt small game and birds.. They could develop independently of other races and changed little. Towards the end of the 19th century the British brought their English Setters and Pointer. As a result, the Shiba Purebred became a rarity within a few decades. Almost a hundred years ago the breed was almost extinct. Around the year 1928 early breeders began to revive the breed and in 1934 established an official standard. Internationally, the FCI tells it in the Group 5 «Spitz-type and primitive type dogs» in Section 5 "Asian Spitz and related breeds".

Translated «Shiba Inu» simply means «little dog». In fact, the Shiba Inu, weighing up to 13 kg, is the smallest representative of the six breeds of Japanese dogs recognized by the FCI.

The Shiba Inu is an original dog and a close relative of the wolf. Its appearance is reminiscent of a fox, especially with reddish specimens. Triangular standing ears stand out, the small slightly triangular eyes, as well as the curly tail, which is very close to the back. The hard and straight top coat can have the colors red, black tan, Sesame, as well as black or red sesame. "Sesame" in Japanese dogs means a mixture of red and black hairs. All colors must have the so-called «Urajiro«. They are whitish hairs on the muzzle, the chest, cheeks, as well as in the lower part of the body and inside the extremities.

The Shiba Inu is a perceptive and independent dog that never fully submits. In general, is lively, entrepreneur, affectionate and brave.

Dogs can also be great companions when jogging or cycling. The strong hunting instinct coupled with the dog's stubbornness allows it to run freely without a leash only in rare cases. Preferred activities vary greatly from dog to dog. The owner's motivation to convince the dog of the benefits of an activity is also decisive. Silly recovery games or tricks are not very attractive to these serious dogs. This intelligent breed wants to understand the meaning of a task.
