About Shiba Inus
Shiba Inus are among the smallest of Japanese-bred dogs, and they’re also the most popular. These loyal but independent, fluffy but regal dogs look like a cross between a stuffed animal and a fox. There’s a lot to love about Shiba Inus!
Loyal and Affectionate
The Shiba Inu is a reserved pooch who doesn’t give affection easily to strangers—but is a loyal companion to members of his pack.
Aloof and Independent
The Shiba is an independent dog who tolerates loneliness better than most breeds, yet is always ready for his family to come home from work!
Absolutely Adorable
There’s just something adorable about the Shiba Inu’s fluffy face and almost cartoon-like appearance!
Zen-like Personality
The Shiba Inu walks through life with an air of sophistication and serenity that is unmatched by many other breeds.
Easy Grooming
Although your Shiba Inu will shed twice per year, grooming your pooch is a cinch and shouldn’t take long at all.
Fun for the Whole Family
A well-trained and well-socialized Shiba Inu—like most dogs—makes an outstanding family pet for years to come.

Questions & Answers
Are you thinking about how much Shiba Inus cost? Well, there are a number of factors involved. Some Shiba Inu breeds have rare coat and eye colors that are not seen with other Shiba Inus, which raise their value. If the Shiba Inu is a female, she will also cost more than her male counterpart. There are many options available in the Uptown Network.
There is no problem with this! The breeders and businesses in the Uptown Network are such professionals at what they do. They are really experienced when making arrangements for their puppies to arrive at their new owner’s doorsteps or closest major US airports (excluding Alaska and Hawaii).
We’re really careful when admitting breeder and business applicants to the Uptown Network - in fact, fewer than 10% make it in. We know there are way too many scammers out there, and that’s why we only work with the BEST breeders and businesses, who raise the BEST and healthiest puppies. Our Breeder Pledge reveals all!
The truth of the matter is that not everyone breeding Shiba Inu puppies loves dogs and puppies as much as you may think. A majority of breeders only do it for profit, while exploiting dogs. The Uptown Network rewards breeders and businesses who’re ethical, and we’re here to help breeders and loving families make great connections.
Puppy mills are terrible places that are like puppy factories, where so many puppies and dogs are unhealthy and treated badly. If you buy a new puppy from a puppy mill, chances are there will be bad health problems down the line, needing expensive vet care. Luckily, when dealing with Uptown Puppies, we can guarantee you that we’re puppy mill free!

In the Japanese language, “Inu” refers to “dog”, and Shiba Inus are the most popular dogs in the Land of the Rising Sun. The reason they were first bred was to hunt small game and wild boar. They love the rocky, rugged terrain of the Japanese Isles, but love snuggling up with you on a comfortable couch just as much!
Shiba Inus are small-medium in size, and fit into apartments and other small homes well. They do require exercise on a consistent basis, and they’re curious as cats and love to roam - so they need to be kept on a leash when walking outside. They happen to be one of the smallest dog breeds from Japan, which make them perfect for most families.
The Shiba Inu means “brushwood dog” in Japanese, and is one of the oldest breeds. They were bred to hunt boars, birds, and rabbits. In 1936, Japan declared the breed a national treasure. In 1954 the first Shiba Inu was brought to the United States. The first recorded litter of Shiba Inus in the United States occurred in 1979.
Shiba Inus can be very similar to cats in personality. They’re fastidious about their appearance, and can be very independent in nature. They’re not very warm and welcoming to strangers, but are very closely bonded with their human families. They have a good nature, are confident, highly alert, bold, strong-willed, charming, keen, fearless and faithful.
