History Of The Breed
The Shiba Inu is an ancient breed of dog that originated in Japan. It is believed to have ancestors that date back over 7,000 years ago. Remains of dogs similar in size were found by archaeologists in sites that were lived in by the Jomon-jin people who inhabited the area from 14,500 BCE to 300 CE. It is thought that these dogs were bred with another breed of dogs that were brought to Japan around 300 CE.
The Shiba Inu was intended to be a hunting dog for small game, like rabbits, and birds. Almost brought to extinction during World War II due to disease, bombing raids and food shortage, they were revived with the help of a breeding program. All dogs were taken from the 3 remaining bloodlines - Shinshu Shiba, Mino Shiba and San'in Shiba. They were first introduced to the United States in the mid-1950s.
