Female Shiba Inu dogs typically enter their first heat cycle between six to twelve months of age, although this can vary based on individual development and genetics. During their heat cycle, which lasts about three weeks, they may show signs such as swelling of the vulva and behavioral changes. It's important to monitor them during this time to prevent unwanted mating and to ensure their comfort. Regular veterinary check-ups can provide guidance on managing their heat cycles.

Shiba means brushwood (a reddish brown wood). In some dialects it also means small.

In Japanese Shiba Inu are usually called Shiba Ken (Shiba breed) to avoid redundancy (inu already means dog).

Shiba Inu nicknamed Shiba is a breed of dog originating from Japan. As one of six Spitz breeds it is the anatomically smallest and one of few ancient breeds existing that remains largely intact genetically.
It is a tiny tiny dog. They are curious and want to learn. They are also cocky and it's a hunting dog for birds and small vermin. But they only hunt with the Shiba Inu in Japan.
Inu is the literal word for dog in Japanese so calling a dog Shiba Inu in Japan is redundant. The dog is referred to as Shiba Ken (ken being the word for breed) or simply Shiba.
