#16 A serious problem with the breed is its tendency to runaways.
If you are ready to lead your dog only on a leash, then this will not be a problem for you.
#17 Shiba Inu have every chance of becoming an excellent companion, but only if you are willing to put in the effort.
In return, you will get an amazingly smart, charismatic, strong and beautiful dog that will regularly surprise you with both funny antics and incredible loyalty and intelligence.
