The Shiba Inu – What’s That?!

The Shiba Inu is a dog breed that originates from Japan. It is one of six distinct original dog breeds in Japan, and it is the smallest of them.

Training these puppies is relatively easy because they respond well to praise from their owners. Positive reinforcement training is beneficial, but it's important to limit treats due to their size.

Owners often describe these pets as affectionate companions who enjoy being close to their humans. They love to lick their owner's faces and enjoy being carried around.

The National Shiba Club of America (NSCA) is the organization dedicated to promoting and standardizing the description of the Shiba Inu breed. Because this breed has captivated the hearts of our members, we are committed to ensuring that every puppy buyer receives the best possible information about Shiba Inus.

Shiba Inus are widely recognized for their qualities of bravery, loyalty, and a propensity for pursuing rodents that are nearly their own size. They exhibit assertive personalities and have a strong desire for attention, frequently utilizing vocalizations to communicate their needs. Similar to Teacup Pomeranians, Shiba Inus are notably vigilant and will alert their owners to the presence of the mail carrier or other perceived threats.

While they may look like Shiba Inu, these dogs share the same confident, curious, and sometimes stubborn personality traits. Their large personalities packed into a tiny body make them irresistibly cute. However, breeding such small dogs raises ethical concerns. Many breeders choose not to breed Shiba Inu that weigh less than four pounds in order to reduce potential health issues.
