I believe many friends have seen the Shiba Inu emoticon package, which is very popular on the Internet. It is mainly because of its smile. The smile of Shiba Inu dogs makes people feel very "healing". In fact, the smile of Shiba Inu is not a smile from the heart. It is because of their physiological structure that they have this kind of face.

Shiba Inu originated in Japan and is an ancient breed. After long-term breeding and cultivation, it has developed a loyal, obedient and patient nature. Shiba Inu is highly alert and usually stands alertly on a high place and looks down. It has an alert and independent personality, a strong body, agile movements, and a color like firewood. It was mainly trained by humans to hunt small animals in the past. It was once a good hunter who shuttled through the deep mountains and forests, so it was called Shiba Inu. The appearance of Shiba Inu is similar to that of the Japanese Akita Inu, which is a smaller version of it. In Japan, Shiba Inu is designated as a "natural monument" by the government.

The name of Shiba Inu originated from the Central Highlands of Japan. In the literature, it was adopted by the Japanese Dog Preservation Association's journal "Japanese Dog" in the early Showa period. "Shiba" is "firewood" in "firewood collector", which refers to small miscellaneous wood. Because Shiba Inu can skillfully pass through miscellaneous wood to help hunting, and its reddish-brown fur color is similar to withered firewood, it is named. Some people also believe that the ancient word "firewood" means that the Shiba Village in Shinshu is the origin.

Shiba Inu has four hair colors: red (or red, commonly known as yellow), black, sesame, and white.

Shiba Inu is gentle, loyal, obedient, patient, simple and elegant, clever, brave, bold, friendly and affectionate. These characteristics together produce a unique nature. It is reserved with strangers, but loyal and loving to those who are respected by it. Sometimes it attacks other dogs. The dog has a good temperament, does not bark randomly, and can also guard the house.

Shiba Inu is not Akita Inu. Compared with Akita Inu, Shiba Inu is smaller in size and has a slightly rounder face than Akita Inu. The differences in size, head, ears, coat color, and gait are not particularly obvious, but each dog has its own characteristics.
