This larger built dog comes from the north-eastern region of the mainland, though recent DNA analysis hints that it has connections to the Korean Jindo dog, and it’s easy to spot similarities between the two. Also known as the Minowa Shiba Inu, these dogs have their own registry, though a few have appeared at NIPPO Shows to educate the public about the breed.īelow is the San’in Shiba from Tottori and Shimane Prefectures: This smaller built dog (some might say “refined) is easily identified by its deep mahogany color devoid of “ urajiro,” its deep brown rectangular eyes, and Sashi-U tail. The Mino Shiba (seen above) comes from the prefecture of Gifu and was one of the foundation lines used in the preservation of the modern Shiba following the war. Some say there are five Shiba breeds, but those people would be including the Jomon Shiba, a “re-creation” breed we’ll get to in a minute. There is only one Shiba breed found in the western world, and we know it as the Shiba Inu, but did you know that there are actually three other Shibas of Japan? They are the Mino Shiba, the San’in Shiba (sometimes seen as San In or Sanin), the Shinshu Shiba, and of course, the Shiba Inu, the most common of the four.
