Shiba Inu

A spirited, fox-like companion from Japan.

The Shiba Inu is a small, ancient Japanese spitz originally bred to flush birds and small game in mountainous terrain. Alert, agile and famously independent, it has a cat-like cleanliness and a bold, self-possessed character that has made it a global favourite.

Temperamen & kepribadian

  • Alert
  • Independent
  • Confident
  • Spirited

Shibas are bold, aloof and strongly independent โ€” devoted to their family yet reserved with strangers and often territorial about food and toys. They are notoriously stubborn, have a high prey drive and a strong flight instinct (and a dramatic "Shiba scream"), so secure fencing and patient, reward-based training are essential.

Perawatan bulu & harian

The double coat is clean and largely odour-free, needing weekly brushing โ€” but twice a year it "blows" spectacularly, shedding vast amounts of undercoat that demands daily grooming. Shibas are fastidious self-groomers. Early socialisation is key given their independent, sometimes dog-reactive nature.

Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan

Are Shiba Inus easy to train?

Not especially. They are intelligent but independent and stubborn, so training requires patience, consistency and positive reinforcement, and reliable off-lead recall is hard to achieve.

Do Shiba Inus get along with other dogs?

They can be territorial and reserved, and some show same-sex aggression, so early socialisation and careful introductions are important.
