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 Miniature Bull Terrier
Compact, muscular terrier with an egg-shaped head and triangular eyes. Bold, clownish and affectionate, with a strong will that needs consistent, positive training and early socialisation. Low-maintenance short coat, but demands daily exercise, mental stimulation and attentive health care.
