Shiba Inu information
The Shiba is a small, compact dog. The
head is in proportion with the body. The round muzzle has a
moderate stop and tapers slightly towards the nose. The tight
lips and the nose are black. The teeth meet in a scissors bite.
The deep-set eyes are triangular in shape and dark in color. The
eye rims are black. The erect ears are triangular in shape and
small in proportion to the rest of the body. The front legs are
straight. Dewclaws may be removed. The high-set tail is thick at
the base, curled and carried over the back, either in a ring or
with a sickle curve. The coat is double with a soft thick
undercoat and a stiff straight outer coat. Coat colors come in
red, or red with a little black overlay, black with tan
markings, sesame with red markings, all with a cream, buff or
gray undercoat. Markings should
appear on the cheeks and sides of the muzzle, throat, underside
and chest. There may be white on the legs, tip of the tail and
above the eyes.
Temperament
The Shiba is alert, confident, courageous, and bold. Loving,
kind, trainable and brave. They are clean and most try to avoid
puddles and are relatively easy to housebreak. They bark little
and bond closely with their handler. Playful and delightful, a
well-adjusted Shiba is good with kids, other dogs and cats.
Active, lively, agile and fast. Socialize this breed well as a
puppy, as they can be reserved with strangers. If the Shiba is
not completely convinced that its handler can handle the pack
leader position and regards himself as stronger minded they will
become a bit stubborn as they will believe they need to make up
their own rules. Proper human to canine communication is
essential. A natural hunting dog, the Shiba should not be
trusted alone with small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs,
rodents and small birds. Be careful when taking them off leash
as they like to chase, especially if they do not regard their
owners as a strong pack leader. Adapts well to traveling. Make
sure you are this dog's firm, confident, consistent leader,
providing daily pack walks to avoid behavior issues.

Needs
The Shiba will do okay in an
apartment if is sufficiently exercised. It is moderately active
indoors and will do best with at least an average-sized yard.
The Shiba's waterproof, all-weather coat protects it in both
cold and hot conditions, so it can live outdoors if you have a
secure yard of reasonable size. However, it does regard itself
as part of the family and does not like to be left alone
outside. This breed would be much happier living indoors with
its family.
The Shiba Inu is an undemanding dog that will adapt to your
circumstances, so long as it gets a daily walk. It is a very
active dog and will be healthier and happier with regular
exercise. This breed can walk for hours on end as it has
tremendous endurance.
Grooming
The Shiba has a clean,
coarse, stiff, short-haired coat that is easy to groom. Brush
with a firm bristle brush to remove the dead hair and bathe only
when absolutely necessary as it removes the natural
waterproofing of the coat. This breed is a seasonally heavy
shedder.
Shiba Inu Origins
The Shiba is the smallest of the Japanese native breeds, which
include the Kai Inu, Hokkaido Inu, Kishu Inu, Shikoku Inu, Tosa
Inu, and the Akita Inu. Despite it's smaller size it was bred to
hunt small wild game, bear, boar and to flush birds. The name
Shiba means, both "small" and "brushwood" in Japanese. It may
have been named after the terrain the dogs hunted in or the
color of the Shiba's coat, or perhaps the dog's size. The word
"Inu" means "dog". Like many breeds the second world war nearly
did the breed in. After the war was over several breeding
programs worked to bring the breed back to safe numbers. The
Shiba is one of the post popular breeds in Japan today and is
gaining number sine USA. The Shiba Inu was recognized by the AKC
in 1992. Some of the Shiba's talents include: hunting, tracking,
watchdog, guarding, agility and performing tricks.
