They’re one of the UK’s more unusual breeds of dog, but how much do you know about the loveable and loyal Shiba Inu pup?
The last two years have seen many of us welcome a new four-legged friend into our homes, as the Kennel Club saw dog ownership soar over the pandemic.
But with 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your perfect pup.
Those with active lifestyles might want to consider a larger dog, while somebody with allergies will be looking for a hypoallergenic dog.
There’s even academic guidance to seek out, with Psychologist Stanley Coren’s book ‘The Intelligence of Dogs’ ranking breeds by instincts, obedience, and the ability to adapt.
One dog that sometimes appears on people’s canine wishlists is the Shiba Inu – they are one of the more unusual dogs to be seen in the UK’s parks but have a range of positive attributes that make them a great household pet.
Here are 10 fun and interesting facts about the breed.
1. Useful dogs
Originally the Shiba Inu was bred as a hunting dog – flushing and chasing small game like birds and rabbits in the mountainous areas of the Chūbu region of Japan.

2. A winning cross
Dog historians believe the Shiba Inu is likely the result of a cross between the Jomon-jin’s dogs and dogs that came to Japan with a new wave of immigration in around 300 BC.

3. What’s in a name?
The origins of the name of the Shiba Inu are a mystery – other than ‘Inu’ meaning dog in Japanese. ‘Shiba’ means brushwood in Japanese so some think it may refer to the terrain where they were bred, while others believe it could refer to the colour of the dog’s coat. Another theory is that it refers to an archaic use of shiba in Japan, when it simply meant ‘little’.

4. Many memed mutts
The Doge meme, featuring a picture of a Shiba Inu, became a hugely popular internet meme 2013. The meme consists of a picture of a dog accompanied by multicolored text representing an inner monologue in broken English. It in turn led to the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu cryptocurrencies.

Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Shiba Inu’s SHIB/USD popularity skyrocketed beginning in early 2021 in the midst of Bitcoin BTC/USD and Ethereum ETH/USD enjoying long bull cycles.
The cryptos, both with Shiba Inu dogs as their logos, surged in price. Dogecoin ascended about 1,200% between April 10, 2021, and Oct. 28, 2021, and Shiba Inu soared almost the same amount between Sept. 30 and Oct. 28 of that same year.
Since reaching their highs, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, the latter dubbed the ‘DOGE Killer’ have traded in long-term downtrends.
Dogecoin’s popularity was propelled, partly, by celebrity backing. Perhaps most notably by Tesla, Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk, who at one point sent the crypto flying 15% higher after posting a poll to gauge whether his followers wanted the EV-giant to accept Dogecoin as payment, which materialized eight months later in January 2022.
Musk’s endorsement didn’t stop there, however, and in September 2021, he tweeted about the arrival of his Shiba Inu puppy named Floki, showing his infatuation with the crypto was more than just monetary.
For most dog owners the popularity of the cryptos didn’t influence the breed they sought to purchase, however, as the popularity of the Shiba Inu breed throughout the course of the rise and fall of Dogecoin and the Shiba Inu crypto has remained fairly consistent.

A Look At The Numbers: In the U.S., the Shiba Inu dog’s popularity rose just one place, from the 43rd most popular dog in 2020 to the 42nd most popular in 2021, according to the American Kennel Club. In 2019, the Shiba Inu breed ranked at number 45, down from 44th place in 2018.
Worldwide, Shiba Inu, ranks number 21 in most popular dogs, down three places from last year, according to Highland Canine Trading, LLC. The disconnect in popularity in the U.S. versus the rest of the world is due to Shiba Inu being the most popular dog breed in Japan.
The Shiba Inu Breed: One of Japan’s six indigenous breeds, which are recognized as the Asian country’s national dogs, Shiba Inu boasts favorable qualities that make it a sought-after pet.
Adventurous, independent and self-confident, Shiba Inu dogs are territorial and protective while at the same time good-natured.
Pet owners know that with the positive characteristics associated with any breed of dog, there are also negatives. Shiba Inu dogs, while fairly small in stature, suffer some of the same health issues as larger dogs.
Some of the health issues Shiba Inus are prone to develop include hip and elbow dysplasia, respiratory issues, hormonal problems and obesity.
The last 18 months have seen many of us welcome a new four-legged friend into our homes, as the Kennel Club saw dog ownership rise by nearly eight per cent over 2020.

The Shiba Inu’s ancestors are thought to have arrived in Japan with immigrant owners as long ago as 7000 BC. Archaologists have found remains of dogs that share Shiba traits in site inhabited by the Jomon-jin people, who lived from 14,500 BC to 300 AD.

Baby Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) were both consolidating on Tuesday in an inside bar pattern on the daily chart.
The two micro-cryptocurrencies, developed to compete with Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), are trading on very different trajectories with Baby Dogecoin blasting up toward its Oct. 30 all-time high of $0.000000005220 recently while Shiba Inu has retraced back under a support and resistance level at $0.00002958 that had been holding the crypto up since Oct. 23.
If Baby Dogecoin and Shiba Inu’s patterns continue to play out, Baby Dogecoin traders and investors could win the puppy race to new all-time highs, while Shiba Inu may struggle to get back up on four feet, unless it can break through its falling channel.
It should be noted, however, that events affecting the direction of the general markets can quickly invalidate patterns, especially in the historically volatile crypto sector. As the saying goes, “the trend is your friend until it isn’t” and any trader position should have a clear stop set in place and manage their risk versus reward.
In The News: Baby Dogecoin recently overtook Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) to be the most traded cryptocurrency by Binance Smart Chain whales, although the whales still hold more Ethereum in their wallets.
In comparison, Shiba Inu added 80,000 new holders in December but the price slid 24.96% during the month, indicating a period of distribution took place where whales sold off their positions to multiple smaller buyers.

The Dogecoin Chart: Baby Dogecoin’s inside bar pattern creating on Tuesday leans bullish because the crypto was trading higher before printing the pattern. Both bullish and bearish traders can watch for a break from the pattern late Tuesday or on Wednesday to gauge whether the pattern was recognized.
- There is a possibility Baby Dogecoin could also trade sideways or create a double inside bar pattern over the coming days to cool its relative strength index (RSI), which is currently in overbought territory.
- Even if the crypto breaks bearishly from the inside bar pattern, Baby Doge is trading in an uptrend unless it falls below the Jan. 10 low-of-day at the $0.000000002711 level.
- Baby Dogecoin has resistance above at $0.000000003673 and $$0.000000003900 and support below at $0.000000003470 and $0.000000003199.
The Shiba Inu Chart: Shiba Inu was trading almost 5% higher on Tuesday but within an inside bar pattern that leans bearish because the crypto was trading lower before printing the formation.
- On a positive note, Shiba Inu is trading within a falling channel, a pattern which can turn bullish very quickly when a stock or crypto busts up through the upper descending trendline of it.
- If the crypto can break bullishly from the channel the next course of action will be to regain support at the eight-day EMA, which would give it room to trade up toward the $0.00003450 level and print a higher high.
- Shiba Inu has resistance above at $0.00002958 and $0.00003607 and support below at $0.00002333 and $0.00001734.
