Breed Review: Shiba Inu (18 Pics)

#4 By 1934, dog handlers managed to form standards and isolate a tribal skeleton.

In 1936, the breed was declared a national treasure of Japan, breeders in the historical homeland of the Shiba Inu prevented the extinction and degeneration of animals. The Second World War had a negative impact on the gene pool: many dogs died, during the hostilities, kennels were damaged. After the establishment of peace, systematic work to restore the breed began again. The epizootic situation complicated the situation: the plague epidemic broke out, which significantly reduced the ranks of the four-legged.

#5 The pre-war breed included dozens of varieties of Shiba, the cataclysms that occurred left only three subtypes in sufficient quantity for selection: mino, san-in and shin-shu.

Being a primordially Japanese breed, the modern Shiba Inu is the result of the directed selection of these particular animals.

#6 The first branch had the greatest influence on the formation of the Shiba Inu: they have a similar conformation of ears and tail.

With shin-shu dogs are related by the reddish-sandy color of the coat, the structure of the guard hair, and the fluffy undercoat. The representatives of the breed took a massive skeleton and body structure from the San-in, but the Shiba Inu is smaller in size. The resulting hybrid gained wide popularity among the Japanese. In the conditions of dense urban development, this animal, with its small size and decorative exterior, has become a favorite of many families.
