They like to climb chain link fences. They are fox like. Hence the faces. Yes, there are different colors, but the preferred color in Japan is the fox like colors.

I loved this video, it made me laugh because everything said is so true. We were fortunate enough to have our last Shiba Inu for fourteen years before her passing. We are now on our second Shiba Inu and they definitely are not a pet for people that crave that cuddling, snuggling dog they almost have that they can take you or leave you personality. That being said you know that they love and would protect you with their life. They are the perfect addition to any family that understand their personality. You're not going to change their personality so if you can't understand or adapt to this breed PLEASE don't adopt or buy one because if you decide you no longer want your Shiba that's heart breaking for them and cruel.

Enough with the Shiba obsession on the Internet

I have two shibas, one from puppyhood and one I adopted from someone else. They are as different as people in their personalities. Zoomies are most certainly a thing, especially at nighttime! I doubt I'll ever want a different breed.

Escape artist is so true... my 2 month old shiba puppy has already escaped her crate 5x

i love shiba inu so much

I found out all of these issues the hardway. My Shiba Inu's name is Harold & he is now 4 years old and still as energetic as ever. We went thru a really rough patch of him running away several times, scarying the crap out of our family, but we are far more careful now and never allow him off leash outside. Excellent video pointing out all of the big issues you have to deal with this great breed. My other dog is a South African Boerboel and weighs 130 pounds of muscle?! They make a hysterical couple.

Tank the Shitzu thinks he’s a mountain dog.

I’ve been researching mini Aussie to see if will fit in my life. Thanks for sharing the top 10 of an Aussie❤

My shiba always goes up to every single dog and stranger to avoid going home!

Will they chew your car to get to rats?

It does change life. I wasnt expecting that.

"They have a deep love for their human family." _<shows dog sitting on owner's face>_ 🤣 The best dog we ever had was an Australian Shepherd named Hilda.

@3:33 - You're talking about Australian Shepherds yet showcasing a BORDER COLLIE

I pick up my 8 week old blue murl on Saturday so excited

I pooped today

Do they drope hair or not? I still don’t understand that part

I adore my Shiba. Hes my 1st one, and I will never have any other type of doggo

We have a Shiba Inu and love him absolutely! He is exactly as you describe in this video. 😂 Thanks a lot for sharing!

Have a Shiba pup, great insights!

We have 2 minu Australian Shepherds. One is a black tri and she'll be 2 April 30th... a year later (last summer) we got a 2nd mini from the same place and our 1st minis mom has the same dad as our newest mini who turns 1 on May 6th. He's a blue Merles. Our girl is so chill and just happy go lucky! So smart! Our 2nd is full of anxiety, whiny, a bit food aggressive, etc. Hes my dream color, but can be such a handful! Still trying to learn the best ways to help him with his behaviors.

Picking up our family dog today . Australian German shepherd dad mix with Golden retriever mom So excited to meet her today

We found out our Aussie had separation anxiety when we went out of town and took them to a friends house to take care of him, he would start chewing his fur. Had to give him a Benadryl a day while we were gone. A friend was watching him, he started barking at 4 am. She told us and we figured out my husband on nite shift gave him a piece of cheese when he got home from work, had to stop that!! LOL The best dog either of us had ever had. RIP Blue!

Shedding season... so much hair lol

♥️♥️

As an owner of 2 Aussies and 1 border collie I knew barley any of these 😭

Yes to all 10! Our sheba is 6 and he is our best friend

Mine is a cat-dog too 😅 He runs after butterflies or moths, when it’s fall time he chases autumn leaves 🍂 lol. He almost never barks but makes some funny noises like a fox 🦊 Love him so much

After having 2 Border Collies for 17 years we lost them both within 3 weeks of each other ( female first and male just gave up it was really tough to watch) We decided that we'd get an Aussie. Border Collies live to make you happy, Aussies like to make themselves happy, if it also makes you happy great, if not Loki doesn't care. I work 100% remote and he was a COVID puppy and he's definitely my dog, i am his person without a doubt. I cannot walk into or out of a room alone. As crazy as he can make me, I don't know what I'd do without him around. Our Cat, Phil, might not feel the same but he stays on his toes.

It took me a whole year to teach my shiba how to paw lol... It was mostly cause I gave up after a while

LOVE my Aussie! I learn something from him every day!

this is kinda of topic but, do i have to have a fenced yard if i get a gsd? its just that fences are extremely expensive

I always tell everyone that our Shiba is hard to train because we don't speak Japanese and she doesn't understand a word of English.

Ive had 2 Aussies and though both have gone through phases, once they grow up a bit they are super chill. Dr. Bruce "Banner" is my current and ever since he turned 3 he has been the best and just hangs out now. Anyone going through the crazy phase, stay patient and they will get through it and come out calm on the other side!

I‘m living in a rural area but we don‘t have this large numbers of sheep or other animals like there are in the US. In the big herds there are, maybe, appr. 200 sheep. Here they don‘t use border collies very often, more breeds like „pastore del Lagorai“ or some mixed shepherd breeds. I‘ve not seen many collies but of 10 collies I‘ve known at least 8 had their problems like aggressivity, biting, and so on. Probably because of the lack of socialization. And maybe I‘m prone to see many problematic collies because of the work in animal protection 😅 but like I said, here at least in the area where I live, the people have more mixed breeds or other types of shepherd dogs, maybe because of the location which is in the middle of the Alps. Plus, if there is a live stock that has to be alone much time there always are at least 2-3 protection dogs, often the „maremmano abbruzzese“. But yeah, even breeds like collies or aussies with nearly no potential of aggressivity, they could be aggressiv if we take a look on the breeding history. Even if collies typically don‘t have to be in direct physical contact with the animals they sometimes do it. And aussies too while herding. And this is why, for example, some aussies sometimes have the problem of nibbing running in front of them. If socialized poorly or not meeting their needs this could lead to frustration and aggressivity. The problem is that both, a border collie and aussie, are highly intelligent dogs, the learn very fast (I tried to learn my aussie a little bit of mantrailing. I gave her 10 minutes of training one day, the next day she unterstoodnwhat to do). But they learn shi*** behaviour quite as fast. Aaaand sometimes correcting this behaviour the are verry stubborn. And if there are people that choose the dog only for the looks, because a aussie is a veeery beautiful doggy, then it gets difficult. I think like you when you said that this kind of dogs belong only on farms or at least in a rural area. Not in a city but there are exceptions if they help people like assistant dogs. But then they‘ll be mentally stimulated.

I was a rather sedentary and mildly lazy person and after my border-aussie picked me, she gets me off my lazy butt and move around.

As someone who owns a golden retriever and a labrador, I can confirm that you don't get to shower alone

They are the best! I had one that unlocked the gates all the time! I miss her every day. I have 2 now!

Once my male got snipped, he became a living teddy bear.

The best introduction of Shiba I have encountered so far. My 2 years boy black Mameshiba is now quietly wondering through our house from my son’s room to my bedside to my wife’s couch at dawn and being settled at foot of my wife. I don’t train him, he trained me. He rarely barks. He stares when I eat. He sticks his nose out from small space down below the security wall of balcony to look around all day. He loves to be petted by my right foot on his back. We walk twice a day come rain or come storm or snow. He is my everything.

my aussie is absolutely the sweetest smartest pet. we all love him so much

just like a basenji the real cat-dog xD

Herding balls are incredible for exercise.

Comments 80 Add a comment... @paulmentzer7658 0 seconds ago The Basque were hired as sherperds buy purchased local dogs. There is some evidence Aussies have been in the American west since the 1500s (reported by First Americans as the dogs they adopted when first America's adopted sheep in the 1500s) This is complicated by the fact a lot of the DNA in Aussies are German. Germany liked England had a law that taxed animals with tails (this was to exclude pigs and sheep). Some breeders then developed "Tax free" horses and dogs by breeding for naturally docked tails. It is from these dogs the tailess nature of the Aussies developed. These two set of ancestors came together in and around Montana. Montana has long cold winters, where the double coats of Aussie and short ears permit them to operate even as low as -40 degrees (Please note -40 is the same on Fahrenheit and Celsius scales). Yes, Australia Shepherds are terrible dogs for Australia. The double coat and short ears are cold weather features. Given the temperature in Australia the Australia Sheepdog has a single thin coat and huge ears to release heat from they bodies doing hot temperatures. The Australian Sheepdog is a much better dog for Australia, but the Australia's Shepherd is a much better dog for most of the US with its generally much colder temperatures.

Best friend i ever had. Part of my life ;3

My Sheba’s have such unique personalities, they are just like my kids. I love them more than I ever thought I would. I’m so happy to have them and can’t imagine being without them.

Loved your info to refer to new prospective owners, all truths....stunning Aussie Families! ❤️

my dog! they would drain all of my energy!

I have a mini Aussie and I love her like one of my kids, she’s a beautiful girl, so smart, giddy and lovey! Roxy definitely thinks she’s the boss and wants control of everyone and everything. Nothing gets by her, especially a good piece of bacon!
