I'm hooked on Shiba Inu’s. They have a big dog look but in a little body. They don't bark allot, their cunning, and let me tell you about cute. You younger fellas need to be aware of the Chick-Magnet potential of a Shiba puppy.

Forget feistiness. Rating dogs on the Chick Magnet Scale, Shiba Inu is #1 (Just don’t let the wife know how good)

I wish our neighbor's Shiba Inu didn't bark a lot. He barks incessantly, ALL the time.

Of course, they leave him outside by himself all day -- he barks frantically at my two lady Labs whenever we go by, they do the doggie equivalent of a smile and a wave, which just makes him more frantic.

Poor guy. They don't take proper care of him.

I have a Shiba Inu mix. What the mix part is, we haven’t been able to figure out. We thought Basinji, but both dogs are small and mine weighs in at about 45 lbs. Her fur is smoother than a shiba’s, she has a black tongue, curled over the back tail and had to be taught how to bark, she makes huffing sounds but rarely right out barks. She’s very smart. It was very easy for this novice to train her.
