Shiba Inu Traits & Characteristics
Shiba Inu Appearance
It weighs 17 to 23 pounds and is a strong dog that stands 13.5 to 16.5 inches (34 to 42 cm) tall at the shoulders (7.5 to 10.5 kg). Shiba Inus are renowned for their self-assurance, perkiness, and triangularly set eyes. Its short, fluffy, straight coat has a firm outer coat and can be reddish-white, ginger-colored, tan, or pale black. The dog's tail is plumed and tightly curled over its back, and its medium-sized, triangular ears are held up straight.
Shiba Inu Personality
Although it is generally loving, it can be wary of strangers and may challenge unusual canines. Shibas are great watchdogs, however, some of them have a lot of barking. It should be emphasized that while these assertions are traditional and generally recognized generalizations about the breed, certain Shibas may exhibit different behaviors.
Shiba Inu Temperament
The Shiba Inu is brazen, active, and constantly entertaining thanks to its clever mischief. It is an independent, inquisitive dog with a strong sense of humour. The breed is capable of competing in a number of sports, including agility, lure coursing, and nose work, while being frequently difficult to train.
Shiba Inu Living Needs
The Shiba Inu needs daily exercise because it is a pretty energetic and inquisitive dog. This exercise can take the shape of vigorous games, lengthy walks, or off-leash runs in a securely secured area. It also gains from the cognitive strain of sports and agility training. The dog requires a secure yard at home. Shibas can tolerate warmer temperatures but prefer cooler conditions.
Shiba Inu Care Details
The upper coat of the Shiba is rigid and protrudes from the body. Even if it doesn't mat or tangle, it should occasionally be brushed. Two times a year, the undercoat sheds heavily and is exceedingly dense, necessitating regular brushing. To remove dead hair from the coat, you can also use a hair dryer or a vacuum designed for dogs.
Shiba Inu Health Details
In general, the breed is in good health. Allergies are a disorder that may be the most common. Moreover, some Shibas get patellar luxation, a kneecap dislocation. Veterinarians should examine dogs that hop with the back leg held up and forward.
