Shiba Inus are among the smallest of Japanese-bred dogs, and they’re also the most popular. These loyal but independent, fluffy but regal dogs look like a cross between a stuffed animal and a fox. There’s a lot to love about Shiba Inus!
Loyal and Affectionate
The Shiba Inu is a reserved pooch who doesn’t give affection easily to strangers—but is a loyal companion to members of his pack.
Aloof and Independent
The Shiba is an independent dog who tolerates loneliness better than most breeds, yet is always ready for his family to come home from work!
Absolutely Adorable
There’s just something adorable about the Shiba Inu’s fluffy face and almost cartoon-like appearance!
Zen-like Personality
The Shiba Inu walks through life with an air of sophistication and serenity that is unmatched by many other breeds.
Easy Grooming
Although your Shiba Inu will shed twice per year, grooming your pooch is a cinch and shouldn’t take long at all.
Fun for the Whole Family
A well-trained and well-socialized Shiba Inu—like most dogs—makes an outstanding family pet for years to come.

Shiba Inus are a mysterious yet lovable breed that was originally bred in Japan as a hunting dog and is now a widely popular companion breed for families around the world! They are often loved at first sight, given their unique physical traits that are comparable to a teddy bear. They also offer a wonderful personality, full of quirky independence and devotion.
Luckily for those without a huge house and a yard, Shiba Inus are a smaller breed and can make do with less space than many other breeds as long as they are still able to get their exercise! In terms of personality, Shiba Inus are slower to warm up to new two and four legged friends but once they warm up, they are a delight!
Shiba Inus are renowned for their smarts and can be house trained and learn new obedience commands as well as just fun tricks if you have the patience and care to teach them! Since Shiba Inus can also have a stubborn streak, you have to work with their inherent nature and make it fun! Ultimately, training is a great bonding experience and they’ll be even more loyal than before!
