The Shiba Inu is originally from Japan, especially
used to help hunt small game.
Ranging in color from orange to black (usually with a white belly
or
lighter markings)they look like a miniature Husky, or Akita, around 16" tall at max.
Cuddly,
gentle, friendly and very smart.
Shiba Inu's like to run fast and play and be adventurous. They don't mind the snow,
but will get cold if they are in a limited space to move, or are outside too long.
Otherwise they've been known to prance in the snow,
or stick their heads and noses right
in.
Their fur is very soft, but not long. Particularly males shed some fur
once or twice
per year.
It comes off in little bits here and there,
unless he is brushed, in which case the brush
will keep filling up with fur.
Usually they like to be brushed. Of course, they like to be scratched
or have their
belly rubbed also.
It's usually difficult to get them to cooperate with baths,
or with being sprayed by a
hose.
They are good at barking when someone new comes around or for other
reasons,
but they are gentle and friendly when meeting
people. |
