Jomon Shiba: The Original Bloodline Before modern Shibas, there was Jomon—lean, wolf-like, and rooted in Japan’s ancient canine lineage. Not a pet. A sentinel. The source. there is what has been called the “original” or “wolf” Shiba, a dog referred to as the Jomon Shiba and is seen above. The Jomon Shiba is neither wolf nor wolf mixed, though they do resemble preserved Japanese Wolves. Taller, leaner, and with a shallow stop, this “breed” was intentionally created to resemble the dogs of Japan from 1,000 years ago. Jomon Shiba rarely have “Inu” and “Ken” following their name, though some Japanese breeders do write “Jomon Shiba Inu”
