The prototype of the faithful Yakuza is a Japanese Shiba Inu, the medium-sized and oldest of the dogs. The Shiba Inu’s ability to cope with steep hills and mountain slopes and its keen senses have made it a superior hunting dog time and again. The Shiba Inu has a lively, active personality and will play with its favourite toys all day long. He is extremely aggressive towards the outside world, especially towards his larger counterparts, and will not be defeated. Rats and birds in the grass will be his prey and toys. The Shiba Inu is a national treasure of Japan and the common ruddy Shiba Inu costs between RMB 6,000 and RMB 15,000.
