About
The Shiba Inu is a compact Japanese dog breed that stands about 16 inches (0.4 m) tall.
It is the smallest of the six native Japanese dog breeds, standing far shorter than its relative, the Akita. Males are typically slightly larger and heavier than females, though both retain a sturdy and balanced frame. Despite its small size, hunters originally relied on this quick and agile breed to navigate thick brush and flush out game.
