Summary
About Shiba Inu
Ancient Japanese spitz-type hunting dog, small yet muscular with foxlike face, curled tail and plush double coat in red, black and tan or sesame with urajiro. Independent, catlike, loyal but reserved, strong-willed, high prey drive, needs early socialisation, firm positive training and regular exercise.
About Griffon Fauve de Bretagne
Medium-sized French scenthound with a rough golden to red-fawn coat, dark expressive eyes, and sturdy, athletic build. Bred for wild boar, it’s energetic, curious, social, and gentle at home, needing ample outdoor exercise, secure fencing, and regular but simple coat care.
