Actually no akitas were bred from the Shiba, Shibas are 3000 years older than the Akita breed. Many japanese people do not even consider Akitas a true Japanese breed because of the breeds that were crossed into it to make it. Same goes for the Tosa. And American Akitas are so different from a Japanese Akita that they are separated into 2 different breeds in some registries.
This is a Shiba 😛

Can’t have bug lovin’ without lovebugs!
Still a few around, though the spring season’s over. Back in September! (I’ve seen as many as 7 stuck together 😯 , I’ll take a pic if I see any out of season lovers)But Nam, fart and barf jokes are the sign of someone with a healthy inner child (joking)!
Ohh..all of the dogs are adorable… 🙂 I wish I could take them all and give them a good home… 🙁

I knew the difference between Japanese and American Akitas but I did not know that many Japanese people do not even consider Akitas a true Japanese breed. My understanding was that there were many more of them before WW’s than became nearly non-existent afterwords before being bred back. Of course I’ve read up primarily on Akitas not Shibas. 😆 Can you tell me how the breeds compare personality wise? I love the Akitas combination Independence and owner loyalty. 😀
They seem to have such a cat like personality sometimes 😆On a side note my kids Sensei went to Japan for week. He said that while he was there he didn’t see any Akitas but lots of similar, but smaller, looking dogs with “foxy” faces. I’m guessing they were either Japanese Akitas or Shibas 😆

Yep Shibas are very much like Atitas, cat like, not good listeners, mine both LOVE strangers, somehow I broke that part of them, LOL, my parents does not hardly let anyone buy them pet him. Very independent, mine do not have owner loyalty though, the best way I can describe living with them is like having teenagers, as long as they have food you dont matter. I never recommend anyone get them, very few people want a small dog that is not a lap dog, there to soak up everything you do.
Love bugs?
