5 Reasons Why I Love Shiba Inus

I love all dogs but I love Shiba Inu’s the most. If I could I would probably get another.

Just got our 2nd dog named Blitz a month ago. No he is not a Shiba but still isn’t he a cutie?

So I won’t be getting another dog anytime soon. Unfortunately…

Huh? What? I didn’t say anything… >.>

So back to Shiba Inus. I love everything about Shibas even their bad points, which I may mention in another post, but for now I’ll mention 5 things I love about Shibas. Now bear in mind there aren’t many Shiba Inus in Arizona (or at least in Phoenix) and we don’t meet other Shiba Inu’s which is unfortunate so my list is based off Shoko. So some of these may not apply to other or normal Shibas. I’m sure Shoko is not like a normal Shiba. She is very quirky.

Shiba Inus – Shi-ba What?

So, I mention in my welcome message about Shiba Inus and wanted to tell you more about them. I was gonna on and on about Shiba’s but I think I’ll save you the trouble and only tell you briefly what they are and tell you in other posts more about them and our Shiba Inu, Shoko. (Pictured below)

Curious Shoko

Shiba Inu’s originated from Japan and is even their national dog. The name is Japanese for Brushwood Dog because of their red colored fur.

What makes them so popular in Japan?

I want to say their small size (I say small but they are still a medium size dog) is perfect for Japan’s small living spaces and apartment living. I’ve even been told that by people who meet Shoko that they love her size because she is small but not too small.

Welcome to Chibi Shiba!

Welcome to my blog Chibi Shiba!

For those of you wondering what Chibi Shiba means, they are both from the Japanese language. Chibi means small in English and Shiba translates to brushwood but it is also part of the name for the dog breed Shiba Inu; which means Brushwood Dog.

In this case I am referring to the dog when I say Shiba, not the Brushwood. Haha!

I hope you’ll come back when I have more to posts to read and I hope they catch your interest. I will talk more about Shiba Inus and other topics that interest me into writing about.

 

Catch ya later!
