The appearance is similar to some small soils in our country. In fact, the Shiba Inu means a puppy in Japanese. In Japan, the Shiba Inu is designated as a "natural monument" by the government. The Japanese have kept Shiba Inu for centuries, and they are considered the smallest and oldest Japanese dog. These dogs' ability to cope with steep hills and mountain slopes, combined with their keen senses, make the Shiba an excellent hunting dog time and time again. Although they were originally used to hunt large game, they are now used to hunt smaller animals. Alert and agile coupled with a keen sense, today's Shiba Inu is also an excellent watchdog and companion dog. Shiba Inu can be seen in cities, suburbs and villages in Japan.
