Shiba Inu in a Traditional Japanese Garden
This serene scene portrays a Shiba Inu sitting in an orderly Japanese garden. Surrounding landscape elements include a stone lantern, a wooden bridge, a park pavilion, and a toy ball resting on the ground.
History and Origin of the Shiba Inu
The Shiba Inu is the smallest of the six original spitz-type dog breeds native to Japan. Originally bred to hunt small game and birds in dense mountain brush, these dogs have existed in Japan for thousands of years. Their curled tail, erect triangular ears, and dense double coat helped them endure cold mountain climates.
