Shiba Inu is a Basal breed that precedes modern breeds of the 19th century. The primary reason for breeding Shiba Inu was to flush out small birds and rabbits from inaccessible locations. The mountainous parts of the Chubu region were the natural abode of the Shiba Inu. In the early 20th Century native dog breeds were crossbred with imported Western dog breeds.
