4.0 out of 5 stars A Must for a Shiba Breeder, November 24, 1999
By Rebecca Baxter (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews
This book is EXCELLENT for the Shiba breeder. I have found it extremely helpful in pedigree research, genetics of the breed, and the detailed explanation of the standard is fabulous. However, I usually do not recommend it to first time Shiba owners. Most of this book is geared to breeders. For my pet owners, I always suggest the Complete Shiba Inu by Atkinson. If you can buy both, GREAT! If you need to choose one, think about what you need and get the book that covers that area.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Reference Book for the Shiba Owner, May 10, 2002
By "net-tech" (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
This is my favorite Shiba book. I have been involved in the breed since 1987 and this book (to me) is a culmination of the years of knowledge and experience I had to glean by hanging out with the best. It has almost everything that a person would want to know about the Shiba Inu. The authors are highly knowlegeable and have been involved in the breed since before 1986. Fred Lanting, world renowned judge and Shiba Breeder, gives this book a glowing review...he calls it; concise, constructive,accurate, and comprehensive.In the back of the book are over 100 photos of the Shibas that were the foundation of the Shibas in America today. Many of the Shibas in Shibumi Shiba Inu's pedigrees are pictured there. I wish this book had been available in 1987.

3.0 out of 5 stars Look before you leap, October 25, 2003
By A Customer
This book was interesting, historically, and if you are thiking about showing a Shiba. But if you just bought a Shiba, it gives you little details. I would recommend it for a coffee table book, but not if you are looking for details on your puppy and training advice unique to Shibas.
