Shiba Inu token apparently had a direct impact on sales of Shiba Inu puppies, according to this dog breeding center
A mind-blowing 800% rally on the Shiba Inu memetoken has not only been reflected on the cryptocurrency market but also on sales of real, breathing Shiba Inu puppies. Demand in the U.S. has exploded according to dog breeders, Bloomberg reports.
“Dog-themed” cryptocurrencies are nothing new to the industry. In 2013, the first Dogecoin was created, which was later overtaken by the market value of Shiba Inu, which gained 800% last month.
Small breeders are stating that inquiries into Inu puppies have tripled at Robel Shibas in Aspers, Pennsylvania. The breeding center co-owner told Bloomberg that people mostly follow celebrities like Elon Musk, who also owns a Shiba Inu dog. The number of applications for a “crypto dog breed” is now at about 150-200 per month.
But the high demand for a dog can backfire on their future owners. Breeders note that Shiba Inus have a strong personality that requires a lot of attention and training. Shiba Inu puppies are the closest you can get to a wolf, according to the co-owner of the breeding center.
Even before the creation of the SHIB memetoken, the breed has always been a popular choice among dog owners. It was ranked # 43 in the list of most popular breeds. When it comes to SHIB trading, the coin is now consolidating after a 50% market correction.
