Shiba Inu Pendant Dangle Charm Sterling Silver 18k Rose Gold Plated for Dog Lovers

The Shiba Inu (柴犬, Japanese: [ɕiba̠ kɛn, shiba-ken]) is a Japanese breed of hunting dog. A small-to-medium breed, it is the smallest of the six original and distinct spitz breeds of dogs native to Japan. A small, alert, and agile dog that copes very well with mountainous terrain and hiking trails, the Shiba Inu was originally bred for hunting. It looks similar to and is often mistaken for other Japanese dog breeds like the Akita Inu or Hokkaido, but the Shiba Inu is a different breed with a distinct bloodline, temperament, and smaller size than other Japanese dog breeds.
