What was the Shiba Inu originally bred for in Japan?
Correct!
The Shiba Inu is an old Japanese dog breed that was originally used as a hunting dog. In Japan’s mountainous regions, it helped locate and flush birds and small game from dense vegetation.
The Shiba Inu’s compact, agile build was especially suited to difficult terrain. Today, the breed is best known as a companion and family dog and is one of the world’s most recognizable Japanese breeds.
