Even more pics...
 

This morning I went for a walk to look at a couple of houses which are for rent in the area. One of these houses is located at the base of the foothills, and there were many interesting things to photograph.

wow sooo beautiful!!! i have always wondered. what kind of dogs are them?

Sugoi! THese are lovely pictures. I am falling in love with the quality. Please show us more if you have the chance.

THese wonderful dogs are called, Shiba inu

awww sooo cute!! i want one! lol
is japan the only place you can get them?

From what I know, they are only bred in japan.

Inu in japanese means dog T_T

i know that lol. you think you can get them imported?

i want to live some place like thatO.O are they in any way edited?

No, they are not edited, I took them only 3 hours ago,

o, cuz those colors are intoxicating O.O

I don't know about that, but they exist here in Norway too. They where brought in to the country in the 70's or something. My uncle's family have a shiba, and she's the coolest dog I know of ;D

Beautiful pics, mate :3 I'd love to live in a place like that.

Wow.. that is gorgeous. I'm absolutely jealous of you Sangetsu! What region are you in?

actually there are atleast 12 different bred from Japan : Akita, Chin, Great Japanese Dog (half USA), Hokkaido, Kai, Kishu, Nihon Supittsu, Nihon Teria, Shiba, Shikoku, Thai ridgeback Dog (Half Thai) and Tosa.
But it is Shiba!!!
(I have Pekingese- bred from China)

I think the name of the breed is just 'Shiba' without the inu, because since inu means dog, it would be like saying... husky dog. I think its just something english speakers added on to make it sound cool. Teehee!
And I know of a couple shiba rescue groups in America, so I think they are also bred elsewhere. "*"THINK ADOPTION FIRST! :) *"*

Also, those pictures are amazing!! Beautiful lighting! Teehee! I would die before getting to the top of all those steps! Japan is sooooo beautiful!

The proper name in the UK is "Japanese Shiba Inu" the name in the US is "Shiba Inu". In Japan they are called Shiba Inu or Shiba-ken.

I have two shiba inu. My oldest one is 13 years old now, my youngest is six. I live in the UK. There are many breeders here. I am an American but moved to the UK 10 years ago. I brought my oldest shiba over here with me. There are lots of breeders in the USA, and there are many breeders all over the world. The shiba is a very popular breed since they are small and are very clever.
