Imo-Inu
The Imo-Inu is a hybrid dog, also known as a designer dog. The Imo-Inu is a cross between the American Eskimo and the Shiba Inu. It is not always possible to determine the characteristics, temperament or traits of a mixed breed. You will likely find the Imo-Inu has a combination of the characteristics found in both the American Eskimo and the Shiba Inu.

“Miaya is the best dog I’ve ever had. She is loyal, friendly and obedient. I adopted her from a breeder in Missouri under the assumption that she was a Shiba Inu. I should have paid more attention to the paperwork because after I got her home I realized that was not the case at all but I wouldn’t trade her for a thing.
My Imo Inu is white except on her ears, those are tan, but when she sheds her undercoat during the Summer she tends to show a lot of tan down her back as well. She has the face of an American Eskimo with the body structure and fur of a Shiba Inu. I get compliments on her all the time and people constantly ask me what kind of a dog she is. I often have a hard time explaining what a ‘hybrid dog’ is but they eventually just settle with a mixed breed. haha
Temperament wise she is just like a Shiba Inu, sometimes stubborn but always loving. She’s a runner, she just loves running around the pool but doesn’t like to get in it. Miaya is a great dog and I would recommend a Shiba Inu to anyone who loves fun, playful and loving little dogs.” – Chelsea

I have a imo-inu JUST like yours! She is only 12 weeks old, but I can already tell that she will look very similar to yours. Thanks for posting the pictures. I think that is exactly what my little Tilly will look like when she gets older. I just love her to peices!
I have a three month old Imo-Inu and she looks just like yours, shes a little tanner in the face and has a little more of the Shiba hair along her back but I am excited to see a full grown one so that I know a little better how big Shima will get!!
YOU STOLE MY DOG!!! (JK) My dog looks EXACTLY like yours, except her tail curls a bit more. I luv my Daisy so much, (even if she tries to chew up everything!) We still love her and she, too, is very sociable and friendly!
My sweet dog passed away 2 weeks ago. He was 14 1/2. I am not ready to buy another one but when the time comes I would like to get another short hair american eskimo mix. Do you know of any Imo-Inu breeders?
Do yoy by chance have the breeders contact information?
I am in no way shape or form a breeder but my Shiba Inu mated with my female Miniature American Eskimo dog. If she is pregnant, which is highly likely, I will be giving the dogs away. I never intended for my dogs to mate, in fact my Shiba was to be neutered but I had to take care of my own health first…so this happened. 🙁
I pray she is not pregnant but if she is, I do not want a penny, all i want is someone to TRULY, love and appreciate the pup and treat it like family. My furbabies are beautiful, so I know their pups will be too.
We are from Calgary Alberta and we had a perfect little boy for 14 years and we miss him so much. We found him from a breeder in Langdon just outside of Calgary 14 years ago. We lost her contact and now we really like to find a breeder for this particular breed.
Please advise.
Justin Ly, I realize your comment is old, but I currently have a 4 week old male and female Imo-Inu that are still available if interested. They won’t be ready to go until the end of April but I can already tell they’re going to be super smart pups.
My email addy is [email protected] if you’re interested.
