Description

The Shiba Inu is a smaller, compact dog. Its head is proportionate to its body and they have a round muzzle with teeth that meet in a scissor bite. Their ears are small in proportion to the rest of the body and are triangular in shape. The Shiba Inu has a double coat which is comprised of a soft, thick undercoat and a stiff, straight outer coat. Their coat comes in multiple colors including red, black, tan, cream, buff, or gray.

Disposition

• The Shiba Inu is an alert, confident, courageous, bold, and playful breed.
• The Shiba Inu is known to be a clean dog and many will try to avoid puddles and are somewhat easy to housebreak.
• Shiba Inus are known to not bark very much and will bond closely with their owners.
• A well-adjusted Shiba Inu is playful and good with kids, other dogs, and cats. However, being a natural hunting dog, it shouldn’t be trusted when alone with small pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, rodents, and birds.
• Even though the Shiba Inu is an undemanding dog that can adapt to your circumstances as long as it gets a daily walk, it is a very active breed with great endurance and will be healthier and happier with regular exercise.
