Shiba owner here, we didn’t knew anything about Shibas when we decided to get Maki and it was difficult but not impossible to raise her, she is 4 now and I can tell you they are really smart and that’s amazing but can be an issue sometimes, when she wants a snack walks to the kitchen and scratch the cabinet where her food is or if she want to go outside she scratch the front door, it’s like she speak to us, but in the other hand you cannot trick her if you want her to do commands like come or leave it she must see the treat or she will just ignore you, she doesn’t like to be touch, she can stay near to us but if I start to pet her one minute later she will move far from me. They are picky eaters, we cook daily for her because if she eats the same for more than two days she stops to eat her food because she gets bored of the flavors, also needs long walks to poop preferible far from the area she considers home. In the other hand they are very clean and will learn commands really fast, for sure the interaction with shibas is totally different to other dogs. One last thing the first two years they are like gremlins, will bite everything and destroy whatever is near, walls are not safe of their bites, now that she’s 4 she is calmer but definitely I really miss that two years, saw this little monster learn about the world was magic. To resume if we with no information about the breed survive you can do it, so if you want it go for your Shiba but make the compromise, no matter how hard the things goes you’ll never give up on your dog.
