Customer Reviews

a good overall review to shibas world
I own a shiba inu and am always interested to have proper infos about this fascinating kind of dog. I have to say that one finds a lot of wonderful shiba colour pictures together with infos which are fortunately more interesting for a simple owner than a professional breeder.
Shibas lovers should pay attention to a hidden info regarding another book of the same author, "Japanese Shiba (Special Rare Breed Edition) ISBN 1-903098-65-3, which is just identical to this one apart from the cover. Be careful not to buy twice the same book...

Author shares Shiba experience
The author penned a very amusing book on Shibas and shared with us his experience and knowledge of the breed. This is a well organized book for the new Shiba owner or someone contemplating this breed. ... stories and facts are told to tickle the reader; in contrast, Payton's thin tome is packed concisely but serious in delivery. I strongly suggest both books as the best of the lot out there.

Worth Having!
If you're a Shiba Inu enthusiast, this book will be a welcome addition to your library. It's written by someone who owns and loves Shiba Inus, so unlike other breed-specific books that deal mostly in generalities, this book is specific and reasonably honest. The book is substantial and contains a lot of good, respectable information without being too heavy-handed or condescending. It also contains a lot of beautiful color photography.
