Raising a Shiba Inu Dog

The Shiba Inu, originally from Japan, is a toy to medium-sized dog. One of the earliest and tiniest of Japan's indigenous dog breeds. The name "Shiba Inu" can be split down to its components: "Shiba" means "brushwood" or "small," and "Inu" means "dog."
The Shiba Inu is a breed of Japanese dog that resembles a fox because of its curled tail, triangular ears, and erect posture. The Shiba Inu breed is most well-known for its bright red coat, although Shiba Inus also come in a number of other colors, including as sesame, black and tan, and cream. Their coiled, fluffy tail, which arches over their back, is sometimes described as a "shiba scream" or "shiba screech."
Shiba Inus are recognized for their commitment to their families yet can be reticent or distant around unfamiliar people. They are a bit more difficult to teach than other breeds because they are smart, independent, and stubborn. Shiba Inus are sometimes described as "cat-like" in their activities because they are known to be clean animals and often groom themselves.
To be well-behaved companions, Shiba Inus need continuous training, socialization, and exercise, but may make fantastic dogs for the appropriate owners. Their strong personality and requirement for a consistent, consistent leader make them poor choices for first-time dog owners.
