"Ichigo-Shiba" does not refer to a specific dog breed, but rather to a Shiba Inu. "Ichigo" (meaning "strawberry" or "number one" in Japanese) is a common name for the Shiba Inu, while "Shiba" means brushwood and "Inu" means dog. The Shiba Inu is an ancient Japanese breed, the smallest of the six Spitz-type breeds originating in Japan, initially bred for hunting small game and birds in mountainous terrain.
