Hiyoshi-o 日吉王. Hiyoshi-o was named after his father, who is an exceptional example of the Shiba Inu. The “-o” means King, giving the puppy the highest respected name possible as the descendant of Hiyoshi. This is a great honor! This puppy was being retained by the Japanese breeder as a future show dog and sire for their kennel. When they offered him to us; we knew it was a genuine act of generosity. We are overwhelmed to have such great friends in Japan!
