 Hard to find, but worth the search March 23, 2005

I have not one Shiba Inu, but two. If you don't have a Shiba that sounds like no feat. However, if you do have a Shiba you may know that there is a certain level of challenge in owning a Shiba. This book was incredibly helpful. It had great pictures, information and resources for further information. You can tell it was written by a person who really knows Shibas. I wish I would have had this book a year ago, my life would have been much simpler. For anyone who has been captivated by those little almond eyes and going to buy a Shiba in the near future, buy this book. It's hard to track down, but easy to find than a canine behaviorist who is fluent in Japanese culture.
Great intro to shibas. August 19, 2003

One of two excellent books on shibas, the other being Gretchen Haskett's The Total Shiba. The Complete Shiba has lots of color photos (Haskett's is all B&W), and is good enough to be your only shiba book. The only reason to buy Haskett's instead of Atkinson's would be to get the great list of Japanese name suggestions. The publisher is no longer Macmillan - it's Howell Book House (Wiley), )

 Good Book on A "Rare" Breed September 30, 2001

This book gives good information. Maybe a little heavy on the showing/breeding and a little light on the housepet stuff but that is fine. It is funny how it talks about the dog throwing up the first car ride home (mine did!) and its overall temperament. It was 100% accurate! Definitely buy if you are looking at buying or have bought a Shiba.
Great Book for the Shiba Owner November 25, 1999

I really enjoyed this book. I breed Shibas here in America and even though this book was written by a UK breeder, it is wonderful. If you are considering getting a Shiba, you really need this book. It has a lot of great information on grooming and training a Shiba. I have all my future puppy owners get this Shiba book over all others. It is really geared for your typical pet Shiba owner, but breeders would also find it useful, especially in pedigree research of British Shibas.
Very informative October 6, 1999

If you're researching the breed, this is your book. Very detailed background behind the Shiba, temperment, what to expect, breed standards, health, you name it, it's in there. Good resource book.
