  • Shiba Inu Breed Standard
    GROUP VI NON-SPORTING DOGS VI-16 Shiba Inu Origin and Purpose The Shiba was developed in Japan, and is the smallest of the native Japanese breeds. Developed as a hunting dog for boar, rabbit, grouse and other small game in dense undergrowth, the Shiba needed strength, agility and a coarse thick coat, as well as courage and tenacity. While still retaining these hunting skills, the Shiba is now primarily an excellent companion. General Appearance and Characteristics The Shiba is a small dog of Spitz type, just off-square, well balanced and muscular, with erect ears, dark slanted eyes, tapered muzzle, and coarse standoff coat. Males and females display both strength and elegance, neither coarse nor fine, while retaining obvious differences. The overall impression conveys a spirited boldness, good nature, alertness and agility. Temperament Spirited boldness, good nature, and independence characterize the Shiba temperament. Extremely lively and fun-loving with their families. While sometimes aloof with strangers, aggression to humans or extreme shyness to be severely penalized. Shibas may not tolerate other dogs’ intrusions, and will display aggression if challenged. Size Height: Dogs 39.5 cm (15 1/2”), bitches 36.5 cm (14 1/2”). There is a tolerance of 1.5 cm (5/8”) shorter or taller. Coat & Colour Coat: Double-coated, with the outer coat harsh and straight, and undercoat soft and dense. Guard hair approximately 1” on body, 1 1/2—2” on withers. Hair on tail slightly longer and forms a bristle, not a plume. Colour: Red, Sesame, Black and Tan. These are the only acceptable colours, and are to be given equal consideration.

  • YOU BE the JUDGE by Robert Cole from Dogs in Canada, November 1992
    YOU BE THE JUDGE By Robert Cole From Dogs in Canada, November 1992 THE SHIBA INU Not yet accepted for registration by Canadian (or American) Kennel clubs, one of these four examples represents typical, another is untypical, and two lack degrees of type. All four are sound dogs. Study them, their ears, eyes, muzzles, weights, bodies, legs and angulation. Then, based on what you believe to be Japanese Shiba Inu type, decide which one best represents typical, followed by the order in which you would place the two lacking type. Decide if the untypical example is worthy of an award. My graphic interpretation of typical is based on the National Shiba Inu Club of America standard (1987), the Shiba Ken Club standard (1990), and the British Interim Shiba Inu standard (1987). It is reinforced by the Shiba Inu observed while on judging assignments in Canada, the United States, England and Sweden. From what I have seen, I believe this attractive breed will rapidly increase in number. SIMILARITIES All four examples are sound within the approximate 15-16 inch height range (bitches approximately 14 to 15 inches), and have scissor bites and all their premolars (missing premolars is a problem in this breed). All have a double coat, the outer coat being harsh and straight, the undercoat soft and dense. All tails are curled or curved as in a sickle. All feet are cat-like with dark nails. DOG A Small and light-weight, with high, sharply pointed, prick ears, bright eyes and foxy expression, he presents a very attractive picture.

  • AKC Education Webinar Series: FSS/Miscellaneous Questions and Answers
    AKC Education Webinar Series: FSS/Miscellaneous Questions and Answers 1. Can an FSS Parent Club offer an ATT Test? If the Parent Club is licensed to hold any event, it may offer an ATT Test. 2. For a domestically evolving breed that started with an independent registry for 20 years, then accepted into UKC for an additional 20 years, can these two be combined to qualify for the 40 years required to be considered into FSS, or must the 40 be done within the same registry body? The history of a breed having a registry for a minimum of 40 years can be merged as described, staff will review to determine if it would meet the parameters required. 3. Does AKC have reciprocity with UKC? AKC has open registration with individual breeds with that are registered by UKC. A breed requesting to be enrolled in the AKC FSS based upon UKC recognition would have reciprocity, if it meets the number of years being in existence, until the breed becomes AKC recognized. At which time the individual breeds may request to keep the studbook open for UKC registered dogs. 4. Is it a good practice to submit all of the required data to AKC in one PDF electronically to FSS as a final submission, once all criteria is met for the ease of processing? The FSS Department keeps track of required data, meeting minutes maybe a PDF, the other requirements need to be in different formats. Breed Standard needs to be a word document, membership list needs to be in an Excel as provided.
