#10 This includes conscious body language on the part of the owner, because Shibas watch us closely and only implement signals if body language and commands match.
Still, a Shiba is no more difficult to train than most dogs. Provided you know how to teach him what to do.
The Shiba is ideal as a family dog. Anyone who knows and appreciates their special characteristics will have a faithful companion in them for the next 12-15 years.
His overall appearance expresses pride. In Japan, it was declared a natural monument in 1937. Although the Shiba is not large at around 39 cm, you never get the impression of owning a small dog.
Shibas have extremely robust health. Overbreeding is not known in this breed.
