This webpage has been written by a Japanese Shiba inu breeder “Fujinoso” in order to familiarize “Mame Shiba inu” all over the world. If you do not know about “Shiba Inu”, please learn it in the Shiba Inu page of the American Kennel Club.

What is “Mame Shiba Inu”?

Please look at the left picture in which two female Shiba inus are sitting. You may think that the left Shiba inu is adult, and the right one is her puppy. But, it is not true. Actually, both dogs are adult : the left is a “normal” Shiba inu and the right is a “Mame Shiba inu”, which is small bodied Shiba inu.

“Mame” means a bean in Japanease. So, the word “Mame” is an adjective that means small like a bean. Japanese people loves tiny things. Some of Japanese Shiba Inu breeders has crossed smaller Shiba inus for the birth of very small Shiba Inu : Mame Shiba Inu.

Therefore, Mame Shiba inu is the pedigree Shiba Inu. But Japan Kennel Club, incorporated association for Japanese dogs, now do not register “Mame Shiba inu” as formal dog breed name. Mame Shiba inu, though it is the convenient name of small-bodied Shiba inu, is known around Japanese dog lovers in Japan.
