Basic
Requirements: Shiba
Inu's are active dogs that require a securely fenced yard in which to run
and play. Once mature, they are generally quiet and clean indoors. Weekly
brushing will help to control moderate shedding. |
 |
Temperament:
Shiba Inu's enjoy
human companionship; however some tend to be more suspicious of strangers
than others. Early socialization is important. Some Shibas are also more
possessive than others and early obedience training will help with this. The
breed is generally good with children if raised with them. Shibas will bark
to notify their owner of strangers to the home. |
