Description
The Shiba Inu is a captivating enigma, a fiercely intelligent companion with an independent streak. They approach life with a confident, almost cat-like grace, often preferring to observe before engaging. Their famous "Shiba scream" is a vocal outburst of delight or disapproval, a testament to their spirited nature. While devoted to their chosen person, Shibas aren't typically fawning; they express affection on their own terms, often with a subtle lean or a playful nudge. Their strong prey drive, a remnant of their hunting past, requires a securely fenced yard and vigilant leash handling. Living with a Shiba means embracing a clever, sometimes stubborn, and always interesting partnership.
