About Shiba Inus
The Shiba Inus is one of the oldest known dog breeds originating back to 300 BC in Japan. These dogs were used to hunt small game and flush them out similar to how hounds are used in modern times. The breed was nearly wiped out during WWII due to a combination of bombing raids and disease.
Shortly after the war, the first Shiba Inu was brought to the U.S. In 1954 and the first Shiba Inu puppy was born in the United States in 1979. The breed was first recognized by the AKC in 1992.

Even when you assure that the puppy is registered, it’s still nice to check with the breeder to find out about the puppy’s living conditions, vet checkups, and mannerisms. You’ll also want to check several references from people who have already adopted puppies from them.

But, did you know there are a whole lot of full grown and adolescent dogs out there that need homes too? Before checking with your local breeder, you may want to call around to your local Rescue shelters to see what kind of dogs they currently are caring for. Many of these cute doggies have already been trained and housebroken, but their owners simply didn’t have the resources to care for them anymore. There are many dogs out there that need forever homes, not just puppies.
