Shiba Inu – the cat dog, why are they so popular?
Shiba Inus are a delightful breed of dog. Small, brave, intelligent, energetic and loyal to a fault. These puppies originated in Japan, in fact they are the most popular dog breed in Japan. Once you learn a little about them, it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Shiba Inu dogs are small, in fact most people are surprised when they see them in person as they are smaller than they look in pictures.
These little pups don’t bark much, preferring a quiet, gentle howl, although when they’re scared or just don’t get their way, they have the dreaded “Shiba scream” (they’re so spoiled).
“Is your dog a fox?” This is a comment you may have to get used to, they look a lot like a fox. Their behavior is very cat-like, they are very clean and love to groom themselves and are very independent. I have heard that some Shiba Inu puppies have even been taught to use a litter box.
Shiba Inu puppies are quite the handful, full of energy, curiosity and waywardness. They love to chew, so have plenty of chews available. They will show a lot of love and be loyal companions. Despite their small size, these dogs are alert, brave and strong, making excellent guard dogs for their size.
Take care, Shibas will quickly endear themselves to you and your family, cute, adorable and charming.
With all that said, it’s no wonder the Japanese love them. Now it’s time for Shiba Inu’s to take over North America!
