Dogs - Japanese Shiba
Inu
Shiba Inu means, "Little
dog." The Shiba Inu originated in central Japan where they were bred
for hunting all kinds of animals. They are the smallest hunting dogs. They
are fast, cunning, and unafraid. Shibas make good watchdogs.
The Shiba Inu has a distinctive bushy tail
curled over his back. The thick, short coat has a coarse texture. He has short,
erect ears and an alert expression. The eyes are slanted and the face is
fox-like.
Height: males 39.5 cm at shoulder, females
36.5 cm
Class: This Spitz type dog falls in the Utility
Group.
 A
dog may have the cunning mind of a fox, but WE can have the mind of
Christ. 1 Corinthians 2, 16

The Shiba Inu is fairly new
in South Africa, but there are a few breeders.
