FarmVille Unreleased Japanese Shiba Inu Puppy!


A new Japanese Shiba Inu Puppy has been discovered! This will likely be released soon during the current Japanese Garden them. There are currently several sites posting about this unreleased puppy, however few have correctly reported the name or any other information on these. While most sites are reporting this as a Shibainu puppy it is actually 2 words “Shiba Inu” (check below the images for more information on the name of this breed!).
The Shiba Inu (柴犬?) is the smallest of the six original and distinct breeds of dog from Japan.
A small, agile dog that copes very well with mountainous terrain, the Shiba Inu was originally bred for hunting. It is similar in appearance to the Akita, though much smaller in stature. It is one of the few ancient dog breeds still in existence    in the world today.

It looks like these will likely cost 65 Farm Cash for each color and the final trick will beHarvesting Ducks. -(Unconfirmed)

Origin of the name:

Inu is the Japanese word for dog, but the origin of the prefix “Shiba” is less clear. The word shiba means “brushwood” in Japanese, and refers to a type of tree or shrub whose leaves turn red in the fall. This leads some to believe that the Shiba was named with this in mind, either because the dogs were used to hunt in wild shrubs, or because the most common color of the Shiba Inu is a red color similar to that of the shrubs. However, in an old Nagano dialect, the word shiba also had the meaning of “small”, thus this might be a reference to the dog’s small size. Therefore, the Shiba Inu is sometimes translated as “Little Brushwood Dog”.
