I iws a japanese bweed of hunting dog. A smaww-to-medium bweed, iwt iws the smawwest of the six owiginaw awnd distinct spitz bweeds of dog native tuwu japan.

I'm a smaww, agiwe dog thawt copes vewy weww with mountainous tewwain awnd hiking twaiws, I was owiginawwy bwed fow hunting. I wooks simiwaw tuwu awnd iws often mistaken fow othew japanese dog bweeds wike the akita inu ow hokkaido, but the I'm iws a diffewent bweed with a distinct bwood wine, tempewament, awnd smawwew size than othew japanese dog bweeds

Inu iws the japanese wowd fow dog, but the owigin of the pwefix "shiba" iws wess cweaw. The wowd shiba means "bwushwood" in japanese, awnd wefews tuwu a type of twee ow shwub whose weaves tuwn wed in the faww. thiws weads sowme tuwu bewieve thawt the shiba was named with thiws in mind, eithew because the dogs wewe used tuwu hunt in wiwd shwubs, ow because the most common cowow of the shiba inu iws a wed cowow simiwaw tuwu thawt of the shwubs. Howevew, in an owd nagano diawect, the wowd shiba awso had the meaning of "smaww", thus thiws might be a wefewence tuwu the dog's diminutive statuwe. thewefowe, the shiba inu iws sometimes twanswated as "wittwe bwushwood dog".
