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 Kleine Münsterländer
The Kleine Münsterländer is a medium, brown‑and‑white versatile gundog from Germany, combining elegant, easy‑care feathered coat with strong working ability. People‑oriented, sensitive and intelligent, it needs regular training, mental challenge and active outdoor life but relaxes calmly at home.
