Look at me! I am an AKC registered Shiba Inu puppy! I was born on March 26th and I will be ready for my forever home on May 21st! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian and I am micro-chipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Martha Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
Some more about the Shiba Inu -
Noble, agile, and beautiful is one way to describe the Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu in Japanese means “brushwood dog.” It probably received its name due to what it was bred to do, lure and drive fowl out of the brushwood. The breed has its origins dating back thousands and thousands of years in Japan. The gorgeous Shiba Inu, which resembles a fox, is a very admired, and sought after breed in Japan. It has a lively, spry, and intelligent temperament not unlike other Spitz breeds, such as the Alaskan Malamute, Samoyed, Chow Chow, etc. Strong and powerful they would not be a good breed for new dog owners due to their independent nature. Early training and socialization is very important for this breed because they can be quite headstrong. Shiba Inu can do well living in an apartment due to its quiet nature, but it needs its physical and mental exercise requirements met, at least an hour a day. Faithful and devoted, they are a good family dog, and can do well with children as long as the child knows how to handle the dog. Shiba Inus can be fierce with other dogs, especially males. The breed is a hunter by instinct so it is vital to keep them on a leash, and having a yard with a fence would be ideal. The Shiba Inu is most definitely a possessor of everything, its toys, treats, domain, and does not want anyone touching “their” belongings. They do well in cold weather due to having a double coat, the outer one is dense and straight, and the inner coat is silky and plush.
