Shiba Inu
Our Shiba Inu puppies were bred in a loving home, around other Shiba Inu dogs and Children. The Shiba Inu is a Japanese dog breed that dates back to the third century. Historical records show that the Shiba Inu was bred for hunting, and it was not until the late nineteenth century that the breed began to be used as a companion animal.
All our Shiba Inu's are well tempered, they are independent and like to get into mischief. However, they love to cuddle as well. We have found that if you start from when they are little, they are trainable. They can be stubborn at times. Our vet has said multiple times how well tempered our dogs are, she hasn't seen in all her years of being a vet Shiba's this calm and lovable.
Average lifespan of 12 to 16 years Some health risks include: Allergies Hip Dysplasia Eye Disorders Overall, a very health and long-lived breed.
Shiba's are known for the thick and luxurious coats. They come in a variety of colours red, black and Tan, and cream/white. Their coat is double layered, with a soft undercoat and a coarse outer coat. The outer coat is waterproof, making Shiba Inus particularly well suited to cold weather. Their does require regular care to maintain its luster and prevent matting.
