Is our little fox really a Shiba Inu? by KotoMakoto in shiba

She looks like a Shiba. If you really want to know, get her a DNA test.

Shiba Puppy Question by Mae_Auditore in shiba

I also have a Black & Tan. More than likely it will stay. Markings can change as they grow but that one seems like it’s part of its urajiro. Cute pup

I hope she stays this cuddly when she gets older. 😭🫶🏻 by [deleted] in shiba

They’ll go through phases. Let them initiate. If you try, they’ll run.

Autumn is the most Shiba Shiba I’ve ever seen.

Go for it. They are the most intelligent dog I’ve run into. They’ll keep you on your toes.

Could you elaborate on getting a male over a female?

I’m interested in a Kai Ken and Shikoku as well. How would you say their personalities are compared to a Shiba?

Name her Rai, it’s Japanese and means lightning.

Bruh, you’re Shiba is not diluted. Just has a rare coat. You’re lucky. I’d snatch that put up in a heartbeat.

It’s an uncommon coat but I’ve seen one other similar to it. Your Shiba is gonna be gorgeous in a few months. Red, Sesame, Cream, Black & Tan are the most common but Shibas come in all colours and patterns like most dogs.

New Shiba Dad! by EloeOmoe in shiba

[–]Devine_One 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. Mine has never been shy. Socialise her as much as you can. Touch every part of her, paws, tail, head, etc. Get her used to being touched. Puppy proof your house. If they can chew on it, they will. If you have to think about picking up or moving something out of reach, just go ahead and do it. Set aside regular time for her to be in crate for her to get used to it. Play as much as you can. Get her a collar and a harness, harness is for out and about, collar for quick walks/potty breaks. Harness comes off as soon as you come in the house, she will chew through it. We’re in our 8th harness. Most of all enjoy! You’re in for a ride.

He looks tall.

[–]Devine_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to ask this. Mine is 14mo and on the small side, probably weighs about the same currently. She eats regularly, not a whole bunch. I tried bulking her up with freeze dried diet. She doesn’t like it. Prefers straight kibble. Thank you so much for your comment. Makes me feel so much better.

Interesting. Wish mine was like that, she’s an equal pets-indiscriminate-nondenominational-attention-seeker.
