The Complete Shiba Inu

Rating:
Summary: Great Book for the Shiba Owner
Review: 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.

Summary: Very informative
Review: 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.

Summary: Great intro to shibas.
Review: 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), )

Summary: Good Book on A "Rare" Breed
Review: 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.

Summary: A great book for a new Shiba Inu owner.
Review: This book is great! It informs the reader on how to take great care of your Shiba Inu when they are first born. The colored pictures and detailed drawings add to the fine detail the author has put into the book.
