Hey Shigeru,

Is that an officially accepted color? Interesting looking, never seen one before.

The Minowa Shiba has its own registry and club, and that is the breed color. I've never seen one in person either as there are only a few hundred around.

The Nihon Ken are Japan's 6 aboriginal canine breeds. They originated from dogs brought over by the Jomon and Yayoi , and have lived with the Japanese for thousands of years. They are the Akita, Shiba, Shikoku, Kishu, Kai, and Hokkaido.

As a member of the Nihon Ken Hozonkai (Japanese Dog Preservation Society), the Kai Ken Aigokai (Kai Dog Protection Society), the Akita Inu Hozonkai (Akita Dog Preservation Society), the Japan Kennel Club, and the Dainihon Hunter's Association, my goal is to help preserve these magnificent dogs as stated in the original breed standards, with particular emphasis on preserving sound temperament and working ability.
