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.

Elegant, compact black-and-tan terrier, lively and intelligent with strong hunting instincts and high prey drive. Affectionate and cuddly with family but often reserved with strangers. Needs regular exercise, mental stimulation, positive training, and protection from cold due to its sleek coat.
