Shiba Inu

The Shiba Inu is the smallest of the six original and distinct breeds of dog fromJapan.Inu is the Japanese word  for dog, but the "Shiba" prefix's origin are less clear. The word shiba usually refers to a type of red shrub.This leads some to believe that the Shiba was named with this in mind, either because the dogs were used to hunt in wild shrubs, or because the most common color of the Shiba Inu is a red color similar to that of the shrubs. However, in old Japanese, the word shiba also had the meaning of "small", thus this might be a reference to the dog's small size. Therefore, the Shiba Inu is sometimes translated as "Little Brushwood Dog".
