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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Recently, Charles Hoskinson, Co-Founder and CEO of IOHK, the company responsible for building Cardano ($ADA), commented on what’s in store for Cardano users and developers in the coming year.
Last Friday (November 12), Hoskinson tweeted:
In a blog post published on October 28, IOHK said:
“With the evolution of the Plutus platform, we will be inviting the developer community to deploy their own tooling and create off-chain code for their DApps running on Cardano. We have already seen a hive of activity in this area, through both the Alonzo testnet program and Project Catalyst.
“So while we test the platform with our engineers/QA and the developer community, we’ll be making gradual improvements and adding more capabilities and functionality. The goal? From the Alonzo hardfork and the arrival of Plutus smart contracts, a rapid scaling of the developer experience, with new tools, APIs and environments to support an already burgeoning ecosystem of talent.“
As for the hundreds of projects building on Cardano, here are some of the more notable ones courtesy of CardanoCube’s interactive map of Cardano’s Ecosystem:
As Twitter user “Cardians” pointed out on September 21, this past summer, over 150 projects were added to Cardano’s ecosystem:
Earlier today, Hoskinson mocked those people who say that Cardano is just a “ghost chain” with the help of a chart from Cardano Daily:
Hoskinson also denied that he is the creator of Bitcoin:

Crypto has made its way into pretty much every major industry. So it comes as no surprise that it has evidently made its way into Hollywood. Now, the stars are announcing their investments in crypto. The gains that crypto brings cannot be overestimated and even the rich and famous do not want to miss out on it.
Recently, A-list actress Reese Witherspoon took to Twitter to announce her entrance into the crypto world. The two-time Oscar and eight-time Golden Globes award winner revealed that she had made her first-ever purchase, which was Ethereum.

Witherspoon’s revelation opened the floodgates, as replies ranged from people congratulating her on this journey to people downright shilling their coins to her. The actress follower count also saw an uptick after the tweet went live. Crypto Twitter seemed to have come out en masse to welcome the actress.
Just bought my first ETH! Let’s do this #cryptotwitter

At this point, it is safe to say that Witherspoon has been pitched almost every crypto token worth mentioning in the market. Amid this was Logan Paul who offered to show the actress around the NFT world. Paul had replied to Witherspoon asking for her ETH address so he could gift her first NFT project, World of Women.
welcome to the club Reese
DM me your Eth address, I’d love to gift you this @WorldOfWomenNFT because y’all could be related. And it’d be badass for your first NFT project pic.twitter.com/epA0EZQdXG

Celebrities Jumping Into Crypto
Witherspoon is not the only celebrity that has jumped on the crypto train. Notable names have been world-renowned boxer Mike Tyson showing support for digital assets. 50 Cent, an American hip-hop star, back in 2018, had revealed that he had forgotten he had a stash of bitcoins. The coins were paid to him for his fifth studio album “Wild Ambitions” when the rapper had agreed to accept payments in bitcoin. The bitcoins which he had gotten in 2014 at $662 were worth about $8 million when the rapper rediscovered it in 2018.

Other notable names include Busta Rhymes. Mr. Rhymes had first shown interest in the market back in July. He had asked his followers on Twitter how they felt about crypto, which caught the attention of notable names in the community such as Elon Musk and Michael Saylor. Later on, the rapper had tweeted confirming that he had indeed gotten into crypto after doing his research and now holds bitcoin.
Why Notable Names Are Important
Although most would argue that crypto does not need big names to soar, the opposite is very true. The world which we live in today is completely governed by having information at our fingertips and with so much information coming at us at the same time, people will tune out most things. But people will listen to prominent people.
Crypto going mainstream will be a faster process once people start seeing their favorites getting in on it, which in turn says to their fans that the market is something they should get into.
