Three year old Shiba Inu dog, Kimi, sitting on a patio bench in Issaquah, Washington, USA. Brought to America from Japan as recently as 60 years ago, Shiba Inus are growing in popularity in the West and are already the most popular breed in their homeland. Their white markings combined with their coloring (red, red sesame, or black and tan) and their alert expression and smooth stride makes them almost foxlike.
