I've had two Shiba Inus in the last 25 years. They are great dogs, but not for everyone. They have a high prey drive and are very independent. On the other hand, they are very loyal, loving, clean, and not prone to excessive barking.
Very nice pet, we love all the pets as we are veterinarians we have a special bonding with pets and that helps us in treating them with love and affection. God bless everyone and their lovable pets.
