I've been offered one and am wondering how well they get on with cats, as we have a female cat that hasn't experienced any other pets.

I have a mix shibainu and shikoku ken (a rescue who was about to get decapitated) and she is the most adorable yet untrainable dog in the world. She is traumatized so much that even after 2 years together she doesn't get out of her crate more than 30 minutes a day, and goes to walk twice a day for 20 minutes top and only very early or late at night when there is nobody on the street. If she sees another person than me or my wife she will start panicking and try to run away and will get the runs out of anxiety and fear. But at home she is like a teddy bear and for the 20 minutes daily she comes out of her crate she runs around, licks out face and hands and then back to her crate for 22 hours. She is amazingly beautiful super easy to keep as an indoor dog (because she hates being outside) but she is not house trained or house trainable but she won't go out during the day so she unfortunately has to hold her poop and pee all day even though we try to get her out during the day but she will just start trembling and having the runs and begging us to get her back in. We called two dog trainers and they both said she is too traumatized yet to be trained and it would only damage her more. She was repeatedly beaten for a long period of time after being taken away from her stray mother (which no doubt was k...d), and she was kept outside and mistreated to be finally k....d but she was then caught by animal services (in Japan) and placed in the so called animal shelters which are nothing more than abattoirs in Japan for unwanted dogs and cats. Then she was rescued by a wonderful animal association in Kyushu and then moved to another wonderful foster house where a wonderful woman who is also the owner of a dog salon for grooming kept her along with 20 other dogs and cats she rescued (she rescues over 150 a year and is the closest thing i know to an angel). And she put her up for adoption online and my wife (the second closest thing to an angel because she can't beat 150 rescued animals a year yet, nor do I) and I , adopted her about 2,5 years ago as our second rescued dog (the other one is a cute little mixed breed something, and we also have two rescue cats). Our 4 animals are amazing but this one is really special, she is pure kindness and doesn't have one evil bone in her body. I mean the others either, but they have their tantrum and crazy personalities (although none of them were mistreated that we know of) . And we just got a quake as i wrote this (mag 4 so no big deal) but the house shook enough to throw the dog in a panic. Anyway, time to sleep. It is 1am and i have to wake up at 5 on a sunday to walk her out before people start waking up.

They are not pets, they are dogs.

They’re pretentious and selfish jerks. Arrogant littler cuties.

RIP DOGE!!!!

Srry no golden all the way i want a dog.

Extremely accurate on the pros and cons. Highly recommend a Shiba if you get out and about a lot.

After having and getting to know a shibe i dont think i could have another kind of dog

back home, my sister has a Shiba, when i came back to visit I walked her everyday, everytime she heard my steps from the stairs she knew it was walking time and she got really excited - lovely beautiful dog and we developed a really good bond - my family said she was really sad when she realised that i was gone. Cant wait to come back to see her again 😁

Definitely YES!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Are good guard dogs?

Shibas are the best!

I have a 21 months old female shiba inu and she is a velcro dog... I work a 8 hour shift everyday and as soon as I get home she wants to spend every second with me. She evens sleeps cuddling with me. She is not a destructive dog when left alone anymore, but i can see that she would rather have some company all day long.

Shibas are not “aggressive”. They are standoffish and like their space, and if a dog messes with them too much when they don’t like it they will snarl a bit and just be “moody” as a dog. But that’s not “aggression”. And socializing them is very easy actually but it’s easier to do when they are younger

do they shed alot

They are so cute 😭

I love these dogs. We have a Labrador retriever & I wonder how well she’d get along with a Shiba. She mentioned that they can be destructive? In what way? Chewing furniture & shoes?

My Shiba Inu is almost 5 1/2 years old. I've had him since he was 9 weeks old. They are the best dogs around. Yes, they definitely are cats in dog form. 💙🩵

No, these are asshole dogs..

They’re great pets - there’s just some bad owners

I had a shiba, he was hilarious

Lol, we collected the shed fur and made a series of stuffed animals over the years.

They're absolutely amazing!!

Yes they are a good pet. I have one and he is well behaved. He didn’t bark and he is very gentle . I love Shiba Inu they are cute puppy 🐶. Depending on how well you train them.

Warning! A five minute walk with a Shiba takes an hour or so and be prepared for the can I take a picture brigade. 😊

My Shiba lived up 18 years old. I got her while I was a third grader and she passed away during the pandemic. She was the best Shiba you can ask for 😔 RIP Roxy

Adopt don’t shop

I love our Shiba. He is protective but so sweet and loving. And he makes me laugh.

I got a Shiba puppy, I keep seeing this videos of "They are hyper" but mine sleeps, gives u side eye and don't like to play, she loves my mother xD she's a moma girl

You have been diagnosed with *S H O O B*

There dam good it's up to the owner to keep it that way

I have a shiba and he is an ass. Very loved ass

What's your psychoanalysis of Kylo..he squeaks all the time

Your right about their courage, i have a Sheba and a English pointer that outclasses him by about 60lbs ... he does not let that stop him. And he loves to lick her ears And teeth lol

Oh she left? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ja

Just like a husky then 😂

Shibas are the worst pet you can have

Love our sheba Loki! Great video

We have an almost 2 yr old Shiba(Buddha) he is super hyper, stubborn and gets into EVERYTHING! He screams everytime he is alone or when I go outside, He is high maintenance. And has separation anxiety. He just barks at every little thing. I wish I did more research on the breed before getting one. We love him but he can be very annoying at times. And about the potty training. No matter how many times a day he gets walked and goes outside on his own in the fenced yard he feels the need to pee on the wood framing! No amount of training has worked, he has cost so much money. Definitely do your research on this breed!

My friend has two and he surprised me when i didnt hear them bark like any other dog! He killed some chickens tho but that lil fox face kills me 😍

❤❤❤❤

Glad I never got one of these

i'm a cat person but i'll give anything for a shiba inu ..... ANYTHING !!! they are so adorable and quiet ( that's why i like cat) not too hyperactive like other dogs and also CLEAN like cats
