Appearance

Shibas range in height from 14.5 to 16.5 inches (37 to 42 cm) at the withers for males, and 13.5 to 15.5
inches (34 to 39 cm) for females, with males weighing approximately 23 lb (10 kg), and females
approximately 17 lb (8 kg). Shiba Inus have double coats, with a straight outer coat and a soft, dense
undercoat that is shed two or three times a year, producing a surprising amount of fur considering the
size of the dog. Shedding normally occurs at the beginning or end of each season. Shiba may be red,
black and tan, or sesame (red with black-tipped hairs), with a cream, buff, or grey undercoat.

Temperament

Shibas are generally independent and intelligent dogs. They have a reputation for aloofness with
strangers and other animals, and some owners struggle with obedience training, but like many dogs,
socialization at a young age can greatly affect temperament. Traits such as independence and
intelligence are often associated with ancient dog breeds, such as the Shiba Inu. Some shibas must
always be on a leash, but with the proper upbringing, a shiba's loyalty will keep the dog with its owner for
life.

History

Recent DNA analysis confirms that this is one of the oldest and most "primitive" dog breeds. The Shiba
Inu nearly became extinct in the latter phase of World War II, with all subsequent dogs bred from only
three surviving bloodlines known as the San'in, Mino, and Shinshu.
