Can a Shiba Inu be White? Yes, a Shiba Inu can be White. White is a color variation of the Shiba Inu and you’ll find unique white markings or Urajiro on the cheeks and sides of the mouth on a White Shiba Inu. Also, White Shiba Inus have white markings on the underside of the jaw, stomach, chest, and neck area.

Whereas, sometimes the term "white Shiba Inu" could refer to truly white Shiba Inu that does not have the exact same cream Shiba Inu's coat characteristics. This would be the case with albino, pinto, or piebald white Shiba Inus. So essentially, all cream Shiba Inus can be considered white, though not all white Shiba Inus can be considered cream.
