My Shiba Inu Facts

_______________________________
The Shiba Inu is a very clean dog and does not slobber like many other breeds, long ago, Shiba Inus were used for hunting small birds and wild boar and are well muscled dogs.

The males grow to be from 14 1/2 to 16 1/2 inches tall with the females ranging from 13 1/2 to 15 1/2 inches tall.

If a Shiba Inu lives a healthy life, it may live to be 12 to 15 years old.

The Shiba Inu is a dog full of pep and excitement so if you may be thinking about purchasing one make sure you can handle it in case you are the "Quiet Boring Type" or just Quiet.

Because of all the excitement you should not let a Shiba Inu off a leash unless they are loyal and well trained so they don't run away. The Shiba Inu's teeth are scissor like so if you tease or abuse it, it will most likely bite back, and I am sure it will be painful.

Shiba Inus come in colors like :Black and White; Creamy White, and Red Sesame. (As shown on picture above), by the way, thank you for reading, I hope this info helped you.
