No. This breed is generally hardy and healthy with few genetic weaknesses. A small amount of Shiba Inu may face hip dysplasia and few are prone to a slipped kneecap, but other than that they are very healthy dogs.
ya kinda I hope not
Depends what you mean. If you mean by just meeting other dogs in the park, then no. They are dominant and slightly aggressive with other dogs. It is best to keep them under control when walking on a leash.
If you mean by getting another dog and you already have a Shiba Inu, then they will be a bit hesitant. Shibas do not like to share their private space and no doubt a puppy will be a gigantic change for them. You will have to let them get used to any new additions to your family.
Most Shiba-Inu's get sick in the heat. Don't cover them with blankets and if they're outside for too long make sure they have plenty of water. If not the dog will probably throw up.
If you have a dog allergy dont get a shiba inu. They blow their coat ever so often. Blowing their coat is when they shed A TON. And if you are allergic to dog fur or dander then you are going to be in trouble.
It depends on the owner and their preferences on dogs.
it really depends all on its weight and age,when you get him food appropriate for him, there will probably be a recommended feeding portion on the back, of how much you would feed your dog depending on it's weight.
I can't speak for anyone elses dog, but my shiba Adores babies. He is the most aloof dog with adults and adult dogs, but with babies and puppies he is such a lover.
It amazed me one day when a man was carrying a baby and my Shiba jumped up on him. He would never jump up on anyone. I havent seen him jump before or since. He was curious about the baby.
Little kids come and pet him and smack his eyesballs and put their hands in his mouth and he just sits there patiently. It's actually really amazing. I think he might have been born in a house with a baby.
Shiba inus can be smart. My shiba inu is really smart, i was about to be attacked by a coyote because i was laying down and my shiba inu Yogi Bear ran over bit the coyote's neck and bit it's tail... TRUE STORY.... It was scary..
Huskies shed loads - hair on carpets, sofas, clothes, everywhere. They also go through a stage of 'blowing their coat' which is removing their undercoat which causes hair to go everywhere and they require grooming everyday during this time - this happens at least 2 times a year.
In general, they do not want to be wet. Do not expect this breed to go in the water beyond wading. My shiba will wade, but doesn't want her face or head to get wet. She is also afraid to be out over water, like on a dock. She also does not like waves. I think it more the noise than anything else.
they are very active dogs so half an hour to an hour. or play with them and run around the house.
My dog had something similar on the back of her leg. She is 12 years old now. When we went to the vet they took a film sample from the cyst and found that it was just a fatty liquid deposit that a lot of dogs get as they get older. It causes no pain and as long as it does not grow it can either be drained (but fills back up from what i;ve researched) or just left alone. I cannot say for sure if it is the same as your dogs' but it sounds very similar.
no they aren't allergic to anything because Ive got a shiba inu for 1 year and he hasn't sneezed.
if your shiba inu sneezes its because you might have allot of dust or its just a sneeze
some may cost They usually cost about $450 but it really depends on its features and who the breeder is.
Usually like any dog the breed an cost of them can differ based on there pedigrees like that parents. Shiba inus are usually about $600-$2000. Mine was 2k but my dogs parents where show dogs with clean pedigrees. Color dose play a factor to since the 3 main colors is Cream. Red, and Black Tan. when selecting the puppies make sure to be able to see pics of the parents cause the first year is when the color changes in there coat an are more similar to parents coat.
I would not recommend buying puppies from local pet stores and back yard breeders for health training issues since these dogs are stubborn as it is.
So i would say if you want a good pedigree and registered dog it would cost you around $1000 dollars or more
Feel free to contact me if you are looking for breeders with a good history i know a few of them.
Schipperkes are not for novice or beginner owners. They nip and bark a lot. If you are considering a Schipperke, make sure you don't have any other pets or children. The answer is no, unfortunately.
First of all, a Shiba Inu dog is Japanese. A Jin Do dog is THE MOST intelligent dog of all of Korea and is highly, VERY highly respected and honored in Korea and is the most expensive dog in the whole country.
Shiba Inus are way smaller than Jin Dos and Jin Dos need more excercise. Jin Dos are GENERALLY more smarter than shibas (not meaning that shibas aren't smart, they are). Also, Jin Dos are highly loyal to their owners and they will refuse to listen to anyone but their owner. If you try to give away a Jin do, he will refuse to listen to the new owner.
Jin Dos are more wolfish while Shibas look less wild and wolfish.
Yes, there are all different varieties of Shiba Inus, and black&tan is one of them
