The Shiba Inu has been a native breed to Japan since the primitive ages. The word "Shiba" originally refers to something small, a "small dog". The Shiba's habitat was in the mountainous area facing the Sea of Japan and was used as a hunting dog for small animals and birds. There were slight differences in the breeds according to the areas where they were raised.
