About The Breed

With their fox-like appearance and confident, spirited personality, the Shiba Inu is a small, agile, and independent breed. Originally bred in Japan for hunting, Shiba Inus are intelligent, alert, and often quite stubborn, making them both a challenge and a joy to train. Despite their independent streak, they are loyal and affectionate with their families, though they can be reserved around strangers. Shiba Inus are clean, quiet, and highly energetic, requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation. Their bold demeanor and striking appearance, combined with their playful nature, make them a popular choice for experienced dog owners.
