The Shiba

The Shiba is an ancient by origin Japanese breed. It is so ancient, that nobody was able to retrieve a complete manual on the breed until now. Irma Jansen-Melskens and Marjolein Peeters have therefore written this manual. It is a marvelous book in which the love for the breed leaps off the pages.

In this extensive hardcover, you can read about all aspects of the Shiba. From appearance to history and from puppy to world champion. Furthermore, you will find a lot of new information on genetics and health, which was never described before in any book. The texts are illustrated with exclusive drawings and vivid colour pictures. This manual is for everybody. Whether you are about to welcome your first Shiba ever, have been breeding successfully for years or bringing champions to show: This book is a must-have for every enthusiast!

Breeders can purchase the book at a special rate for future puppy owners of their kennel. For more information, Email us at shibaboek@gmail.com
