I love that you bring light to all kinds of dogs and point out their histories and their positive and negative traits. People should know what they are getting into before they get any animal.
that's true if more people did their research on what dog breed fits their lifestyle then less of them would end up in shelters. it took me 2 years to decide that the Cane Corso was the right breed for me and 2 more to find a good breeder i hope to get my Cane Corso pup this year
In Japan, I've seen Shiba Inu sitting outside a shop, untied - so well behaved and trained that it did not move from where it was told to stay, not even standing up, until the owner came back.
Many dog breeds are capable of that, but it takes a significant amount of work to get them there. Australian Shepherds are known for this too. Both really cool breeds for sure.
Yeah, the western world tries to understand the dog through how other dogs act. It's should be seen more as a loyal wolf that's been domesticated. The Japanese allow the dogs to be their own animal and give them space understanding they prefer to have more personal space generally, but will keep an eye over it's territory and owner like a wolf you befriended while camping in the wild. If you stay there forever it will just chill there close to your camp fire and eat with you, etc. Once it becomes your friend it will stay there. These people think of it as a dog getting distracted, when it's rather a dog with wolf dna doing what it does naturally.
Well, if you were in Japan then you would know they are not called "Shiba Inu" but rather Shiba-ken. 30 years in Japan and never once heard someone say "Shiba Inu". Inu means dog in Japanese so you can see it sounds strange.
My Shiba Inu is SUPER silent. But she screams only if she is very scared (always over dramatic), heard only twice. She does not like barking, only in a lower voice, only if she thinks that something is weird (a sound or a person). Amazing, smart, and intelligent dogs. I can openly say, the best dog. She is also a hunter, catches cockroaches and insects since being 3 months old. I love her so much!
I have had 2 Shiba inus in my life, and the one I currently live with is the most gentle Shiba I have ever seen. I have never seen him scream. He doesn't even bark. He only purrs lol
I've owned a shiba for 7 years and I have never heard her scream! She howls but nothing to that caliber. Shibas are MIRACULOUS and majestic animals-- they require a lot of patience and walks but well worth it. I could not imagine my life without her & thank you for my new favorite video on the internet.
I am on my second Shiba. The first was an adult rescue and she screamed all the time. My current I got as a puppy and she howls but never screams. They are all different.
I'm a dog groomer and yeah... They uh. Scream. It's terrifying. Idk how many times I've jumped in terror bc the little fucker just shrieked like it was being murdered and I genuinely thought I'd killed it, but nope. I just touched his foot. They're frickin adorable ❤️
😂😂 oh my god i love how you didn't hold back...and yea they scare the crap out of you , first time i met one it definitely caught me off guard and made my husky jump too 😂
The last time I took Momo to the vet, I heard a scream from the back room. In a minute, the technician brought out to me in the rubber choke leash they use to control a dog my Momo and said to me, "You put the leash on!" I guess the scream spooked her that much. LOL! @Nanette Ralphs
I have a 6 years old shiba Inu when he was a puppy the first time I experienced it was when he got his foot stuck in the one of the crate doors. It was terrifying.
Calling it a legendary meme is an insulting title given how special the dog is to Japan, and I'm sure thats not how they want the dog to be remembered as. Its an ancient breed. Have some respect. That meme has led to so many Shibas being abandoned in shelters or re-homed cause people want one for shits and giggles without knowing anything about their temperament, then will give them up when they become too much to handle.
My shiba loves being alone but also demands all the attention when im home, hes very protective and it can be really hard to explain to people they cant just walk up and pet him. He decides on wich day he wants be pet 😂
My dog likes being petted and it still annoys me when people want to pet him, I feel like they should get their own dog, I just find it wierd that people think they need to pet him.
I smiled from ear to ear while watching this video! My Sheba girl passed away March 2020 from cancer at 13 years old. I miss her so much. Your video was so informative & I enjoyed watching all of those sweet Shiba Inu's!
We have a Shiba and she is a very rare longhair. Her coat is exquisite. You rarely see a longhair. Not mentioned in the video is that Shibas clean themselves like a cat, truly amazing!
I don't think I have ever seen one! I have a creme Shiba Inu which you don't see too much either. It's because they are considered 'mistakes' as they don't show the breed specific markings.
@@Kaia.Duval. Shiba inu's like Akita inu's do have long coats. It's a throwback gene. It takes both parents to carry that gene and its quite rare but they are purebreds.
@@johnnygreen200 What I was trying to say was that unfortunately I've come across a lot of breeders who sell shibas with "rare genes" but without a pedigree, which often indicates they're mixes and those breeders are just lying for profit which is horrible 😒 If it really is a purebred then good for them, I honestly didn't know they existed until today so thanks for the info. I recently saw someone trying to sell puppies whose mother was quite obviously a mix of some kind, not even close to a shiba, and they were saying it was a rare blue shiba exported from Russia 🙄
@@Kaia.Duval. so cream and pinto have to be mixes and are not considered shibas? Do your homework then. Cream is a defect that makes them look all white, not showing the obligational orajiro inside the legs, chest, etc. As white doesnt show white... i Think in England they are still allowed to breed with them which is actually dangerous as they are not able to reproduce every colour, which actually killed some other colours in other japanese breeds already... Pinto is a defect making the fur show spots/intersections of other colours. As the colours should not be "mixed up", with a certain exception for the rarest but in my opinion most beautiful colour, sesame (meaning there should be consistent areas/marks of one colour) they are not accepted by breeding Standards either. Still, they are shibas... cream are considered "lucky puppies" in Japan. But you shouldnt breed with them...
I'm honored to have one cuddled up to me right now 😁 They're truly amazing dogs. Very smart, independant, stubborn but loyal and full of love, they just have their own ways of expressing it. When I start petting mine and she's not in the mood, she will just stand up and walk away 😂
Mine lasted 14 years, I loved him so much. I can confirm they are hard to train but I don't mind, it was worth it. A very lovable, loyal dog, always so happy whenever he saw me, very independent and never was asking other people to be cuddled, only with me. I wished I had more time for him in my uni days... :(
My sister is picking up our Shiba Inu (8 weeks old) tomorrow. I’m beyond excited 😆. Biggest surprise from a Christmas 🎄 gift 🎁 I ever got in my life. I kinda teared up ⬆️ when my sister told me. Always wanted a Shiba Inu.
My family has owned 3 Shibas and tho each had its unique characteristics, what they had in common was: they place themselves 2nd lowest in the pack. My dad was the no1 alpha, absolute obedience. Either my mom or younger brother seems to have thought lower than the dog, boy did have an attitude, often didn’t listen, disobeyed. Despite its chill attitude towards strangers, the loyalty towards its pack (family) was really something.
We had to put our 16 year old Shiba Inu down 2 months ago. Her name was Willah. She was by far the best dog we’ve had. She was my little side kick. Such a beautiful unique dog. I miss her so much.
Tonka my Shiba Inu will be 12 Years old in a couple days.... He is a 35 pound Creamy Shiba and he is my Best Friend and i try and take him everywhere when i can.. He is loves Human contact and taking walks.. I have had the Honor to be part of his Life. i love how the Owners all put the disclaimer of thing can go wrong and thats what so endearing about them, they truly have a Mind of their own... Even though Tonka isnt a standard color he still is my Shiba and thank You for a Awesome video...
I lost my little girl, Zero, on the 20th of Jan, 2024, due to nose cancer, and I’m totally lost with out her. She was crème colored, and simply the most perfect Shiba….11 years she never pooped in the house, chewed anything, the most perfect dog….I want to get another one, but afraid I wont find one like her….thank you for having those video, my heart is so broken 😭💔. I’m in Tennessee, and I don’t know of a reliable breeder…They are stubborn, but I love them…..thank you ❤
My girl died last year at age 17. My heart so broken. Smashed. My breeder saw how much my heart hurt so she gave me another 1 year old female a few months later to foster, with the possibility of a keeping her. It did not take away the pain and the new dog is nothing like my previous dog. The new dog was perfect, already trained, but it was hard for me at first because I compared her to my previous dog and also because my heart was tired. But after 9 months the new dog has won me over. She is different than my first shiba, but so wonderful, intuative, goofy, smart, affectionate. She's brilliant, empathetic and alert. All the good things about a Shiba, I think you know what I mean. You will never have a dog like the one you lost, but another well bred Shiba will give you joy again when you are ready. If you have a relationship with a breeder maybe you can do similar to what I did and "foster to own".
Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m hoping I can find a new little girl to love, but being in Talbott, Tn, not much opportunity here, but the breed is unbelievable, and have me hooked….but thank you for your encouraging words and reaching out ❤❤
I am a Japanese and I love Shiba Inu dogs. I am thrilled to see you cherish these cute dogs. They deserve much love and devotion from us human beings. They are the best dogs for me.
Watching this with a japanese friend. I giggle every time she says 'sheeba inyou', he cannot get over the japanese anthem playing on repeat n the background xD
Oranjmuse Meyer you should search for the article on the Papua New Guinea singing dog, it says the dingo and singing dog branched off from a common ancestor - I think it’s pretty cool!
My shiba Inu came from a Amish family that left it outside in a cage with his siblings and mom for most of its 8 week life. He didn’t know how to react to the toys we got him, but after patience and lots of playtime outside. He is the best decision I have ever made.
The shiba walk is an AMAZING idea!! That allows the humans to get to experience the dogs before they get one. As for the agility, they knew they were on the big stage with this show so they wanted to make sure everyone knew they were superior in every way!
I got my shiba 11 years ago and they are indeed different than other dogs. They aren't super cuddly like a retriever so if you are expecting them to follow you around and cuddle then you should look into a different breed. They will come to you for pets/attention when they feel like it and do their own thing most of the time.
My ten year old boy, Aki, is an exception to this rule. He is extremely affectionate, with the unfortunate side effect of separation anxiety. He is my 'teddy bear on demand'.
Always loved the name Balto, also my husky helped me with anxiety a lot. I bought him not for my anxiety, i did not had a clue he could help me with my phobias, a half year owning him and suddenly i realised that certain negative thought or phobia were gone. He saved me somehow. Good to hear more people have such a positive friendship with their hairy compagnion, hang in there dude, with such a pall , things can only get better!
When I was in a middle school long time ago, we got our first dog, a 柴犬, from my father's friend who hunted with dogs. He was a pure 柴犬, and the gentlest and calmest, and the most patient dog I had ever seen. For a long time, I thought he was the representation of 柴犬's nature. Maybe he was a rare exception.
18:27 that part when she describes the personality, the character, of the breed, she basically described my 9 year old english springer spaniel! So I just fell more in love with the shiba!
This was great, Anneka! Shibas have been my lifelong companion of choice and I think you did a terrific job capturing the beauty and quirks of the breed. I’d love to see you cover the more rare Japanese Shikoku as well in the future.
Yes! I acquired a rescue dog which looked like a Shiba. I have come to realize, however, that at 45 lb, my Tomo(dachi) is a Shikoku Ken! How a Shikoku Ken made its way to rural south central Wisconsin is beyond me, but we are incredibly happy with her. She has the run of our small farm and loves to hunt but usually comes back within 20 minutes and jumps at the front door to be let in. The few vehicles which come to our dead end location are not a danger.
I had a rescue Shiba Inu for 14 years...she died last year and I miss her enormously. I adored her but would not recommend Shiba's for novice owners. They are not easy dogs, they are often aloof, unfriendly and dog aggressive - which she was. They are very cat like, she was as beautiful when she died as when I first rescued her. If you want a cuddly affectionate dog, this may not be the right breed for you. I love this breed but recognize that it's not for everyone
Excellent job of portraying the Shiba Inu, Liz and Michaella certainly are the top breeders in the UK and also provide top class after care should you ever need it and which is why we have our Shiba puppy from them (one of the 4 pups jumping all over you 😂🐶)
Yesssss I waited all day long for this video to be released!!! We will be getting our Shiba in december:) Greetings from Switzerland and thanks for the great content!
@@harukoandhana2641 thanks a lot! We are waiting since a year but we are really looking forward to her and had enough time to prepare everything for her:) I hope she will come along well with our other dog! Greetings!
I've always been a fan of larger dogs, until I met my daughters Shiba Inu, Hadley, I fell in love with her, she's very independent, og boy she's a cat in a dog's body. I absolutely love this breed so much.💜💜💜💜💜🐱🐕
Thank you so much for this episode! I "manage" one of these little monsters and they are truly the most unique and special dogs I've ever had. Love your show and feel like I always learn something new. Take care,
@@paudeenlee thats what i was told when i got mine. Because of that we didnt really train walking off leash much. Wich was a big mistake. After like 6 months we tried letting him off leash and he does fairly well. Yes he wanders off 50 meters away from us and if something is interesting for him he doesnt listen to call backs. But if i just keep walking away he will full sprint to me because he doesnt want to be left behind. Dont listen to what people say and train off leash walking from day 1 and you should be fine.
My favorite dog breed. They seem intelligent, they know what they want, such divas. I've read that they're more like a roommate than a pet. Really cannot wait to have one. Such beautiful doggo 🧡
I used to own one, and he was an absolute killer. Darwin was a hunter like nothing I've seen. Mice, gophers, lizards, birds, rabbit and he even tried to catch deer. There were a small number of dogs who he welcomed into his pack, one was a half wolf named Ranger, who was the only one tough enough to "play" as rough as Darwin liked. He bullied most other dogs, even a 100lbs Golden Retriever. He loved tiny dogs, he loved puppies, and he was terrified of fireworks, but afraid of nothing else.
I've had two Shibas. Back in 1996 I located a breeder in Arizona and. We picked Saki up at our local airport, having her flown to us when she was just 12 weeks old. Three years later we drove 300 miles to Colorado with Saki where we left her over night at the home of a champion stud owner. I've never seen anything as cute as those four baby Shiba pups from Saki's only liter. Of the 3 females and 1 male we decided to keep one of the little female pups naming her Kiren. Having some experience with Shibas by this point, we realized just how important early socialization is with this breed. Before they were even a week old we started the pups on a desensitization program. At least three times a day we'd separate the pups from their mother long enough for them to get a little hungry. Then before bringing mama back in to nurse them, we'd spend about 15 minutes handling each pup, paying special attention to holding their paws and nestling their little noses right up to our face to familiarize them with our touch and smell. The pups quickly learned to associate this handling time with the reward of being reunited with their mother and nursing. At two weeks old we started transitioning the pups to bottle feeding and by their forth week we had them fully weened to a bottle, and we were either physically holding the pups or keeping them right next to us almost 24 hours per day. It was a lot of work but the difference was night and day. Saki, the mama lived to be about 16 years old and even near the end we could never trust her not to run off if she ever got out of the house off a leash. By contrast we were able to train Kiren to always stay within 20 to 30 feet of us when taking her on a walk without a leash, and not to leave the yard, even without it being fenced in. I've never talked to another Shiba owner who could say that.
I've had mine for 12 years and she walks off-leash, listens really well, and is great with other dogs. I took her off the hands of a grandmother who found out she was "too much to handle." She grew up with an Akita, who passed away a year or so ago. My parents have a poodle. My sister has a lab mix. And my girlfriend has a bull terrier and had a jack russell. Callie can stay at anyone's house, problem-free and without incident for any period of time - a day, a week, a month. My mom actually BEGS me to go on a trip or have a busy week, so she can dog-sit her. Then, it's hard getting her back, lol. She doesn't chew things up; she doesn't complain; she is very independent...but also very loving. She just likes her space at times...but, hey, SO DO I!!. She is literally the greatest dog you could ever have. Everywhere I take her, she's a hit. People can't stop asking about her. And she is so respectful and loyal that I almost feel bad that she tries that hard to impress me that much. I have only owned one shiba and others have had them and had different experiences. But, with the right amount of effort, attention, and socialization...it'll be the best thing you ever did. She's getting up there in age, but you would think she's still 3 years old. I think she has plenty of years left in her, but I can't begin to think what it would be like without her one day. She's that special.
Shiba inu's are one of my favorite breed of dog. They carry something magical in there eyes. Take one look at them scare on, and you will recognize a profound intelligence staring right back at you. They remind me of cats as well with the air of aloofness that they often carry with themselves. very self confident dogs even in the most undesirable of homes. I am so glad that caring japanese dog lovers saved them from extinction like so many other animals man unwittingly has destruyed
There's a small mistake in the video. All those 3 breed of Shibas still exist in Japan. Their bloodlines were used to preserve and give birth to the modern Shiba Inu, but they did not go extinct. They're simply less known or not known at all in the west.
Ww2 was brutal Cold War and year of depression a lot of innocent dogs family of shiva inu died but thank God the Shiba inu relived again and helped relived Japan again Thank God
Anneka, I don't know very much about dogs, having lived with cats my whole life, but the shiba inu breed is one of the most beautiful dog breed that I've ever seen! They are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for this video!
Great video of these special puppies. I got my first from Japan town in Los Angeles in 1983. It was like adopting a child. Shachi was a great pet! Later my wife and I showed, red , and black and tan shibas. Had a show kennel for many years. They are a wonderful breed of dog, full of energy, and life. Miss having them . All mine are gone now.
Actually it's Shiba ken. Japanese don't say inu when they talk about the Shiba. Inu means dog in general. For some reason western people keep saying it. Inu means dog. But the correct word is actually Shiba ken. Ken means dog to but in kanji combined together with an other kanji , it changes . Dog alone is 1 kanji but the name Shiba is 1 kanji combined together the kanji then changes to ken.
For a long time now I have thought this would be the dog for me ... Love it. What a lovely video featuring all the Shiba's traits & characteristics nicely presented by the breeder herself. Thank you.
I definitely do not recommend a shiba for first time dog owners. My family has one, did zero research before getting her (even worse, they bought her from a pet store for a whopping $3,000). She’s difficult to deal with, very stubborn. She loves to run, but can not be off leash or good luck getting her back lol very high energy too. They are beautiful dogs, but please do your research! Go to a reputable breeder, or rescue one! Otherwise you will end up with one with serious temperament issues
Our family did the same thing! We definitely did not train him properly as he was our first dog but luckily he been so great for us. Independent, low maintenance, clean, smart and loyal. And he’s the cutest
Charleigha Cao-Gagnon I’m happy he turned out great for you! 😃 mines a nightmare, extreme food aggression, disrespectful to other dogs, skittish (especially when it comes to loud noises), and has zero fluff. She’s clearly poorly bred, but a lot of people find her cute 😆
burningknuckle26 I agree, training is key! But when the dog absolutely will not listen to you, and no one else in the family wants to train it, I gave up lol I didn’t pay for her, & She’s not my responsibility, so I gave up lol to be fair, I’m used to highly trainable dogs, I’ve only ever personally owned german shepherds
And the screaming thing, yes. I had read about the noise, but you cannot comprehend it until you 1st hear it. My 1st shiba puppy was used to sleeping with me or in a crate next to my bed while potty training. When visiting a boyfriend's parents' house, the puppy woke the whole household with his screaming when we tried to make him sleep in a crate that was not right next to my bed. They are also very cat-like and even sometimes make meowing sounds. They are generally a very clean breed like a husky and only smell if they get wet or dirty outside.
Ah, Shibas! Got to love the feisty little weirdos. Great work on the video! I especially like that you didn’t shy away from the breed’s downsides too. Since you love wolf-like dogs, perhaps you could do a video on either the Finnish Spitz or Finnish Lapphund some point in the future.
If anyone wants a shiba, find a reputable breeder that breeds for temperament. You will thank me later. Also, I’ve owned GSDs, worked with malinois, and my shiba is by far the smartest and most agile dog I’ve ever witnessed in my life. When they said this is a big dog in a small dogs body, they’re not kidding. Mine plays with dogs that weigh 4-5 times my shiba, she out maneuvers them and outsmarts them constantly. It’s like watching the Olympics. Shibas also can live to be 20. So if you get one, you’re in it for the long haul.
Go on a Shiba Walk talk to the Owners /Servants to find out about breeders and the temperament of the dogs most important is the health checks are done on the parents before buying
Indeed, because an friend of me his Shiba an she is very aggressive iff she is laying down, iff you come to close even iff you didn't want to give her attention or didn't realy notice she whas there, she will attack you and she hates children, it's creepy how that cute little doggy becomes a monster in a second. No way I want her in my house. And I truely love dog's 😕
Nick Meersschaut they’re all different. Mine hasn’t met a person or an animal it doesn’t like. However she has boundaries, if another dog jumps on me while I’m holding her, she gets very angry. If another dog tries to take her belongings in her home, she gets upset. Other than that, this is why I speak upon temperament. You can get a very aggressive shiba or you can have one that won’t stop licking you, like mine. 😂
@@bbllaakkeeee och yeah I've seen some sweet and loving Shiba's to, it's just that one I can't trust. I kinda blame the owner, he is a bit lazy and he doesn't do real training on her or give her any commands. He just let her be, it's been so far that she even wants to bite him iff she doesn't feel like moving out of the way. She's overly spoiled and gets what she wants and when she wants it.
i have a sheba/basenji mix......rescued her off a country road in rural E. Texas on a spring day, the pavement was bubbling from the heat...she jumped in my car..she scream/yodels.....tries to boss the Rhodesian & Moscow Watchdog and Malinois/pitt mix......and glued to me....i did not breed/buy any of these dogs.....have 6 rescues....
I love my shiba inu but the first year was so difficult. She’s 6yrs old now (we got her around 2 months old I think) and she’s amazing. I love all dogs but to me shibas are the perfect breed.
Love the video!!! These dogs are so awesome and beautiful!! My Wife and I have got 4 Shibas and wouldn’t trade them for anything!!!! Love this Breed!!!😊😊😊😊😊
I was a first time Shiba owner but I did my research on the breed Now I have 2 full bread with papers I don’t discourage anyone to get a Shiba but do your research I agree that they have to be on a leash my shibas both at puppy age got off there collar and they were gone Luckily the one Shiba tackled the other I do recommend a hardness a sturdy one they are strong when they want to go after a another dog especially my male Shiba or nice rabbit or squirrel they do shed a lot but they are the best dog breed I’ve ever had thank you for this video
I disagree, this dog requires a responsible owner, regardless of if they are first time or not. I'm a first time dog owner, and my Shiba got her AKC star puppy certification last month. She is well tempered, and well trained for a puppy and I never stop training her. It's very misleading to say they aren't good for first time owners because of this misconception "experienced" owners get them and have no idea how to deal with them simply because they are not responsible owners.
I said this under another comment but I can only partially agree. It's definitely useful to have the experience. But if you have the right kind of personality and temperament for this dog and you really want it and are willing to put in the immense breed specific research you can get away with it as a first time dog owner. If you're not willing or able to do this you won't get away with it even if you had 10 dogs before. It will be a lot more difficult for you if you never had a dog but it's totally doable. I adopted my Shiba from a family who had to re-home him because of complicated circumstances but they were first time dog owners and they honestly did a good job with him. I do want to work with him on certain things, he is a bit anxious and grew up a bit too sheltered but overall I am impressed with what they have done.
@@danimayb I agree people have to start somewhere, which is why I don't believe there is anything such as an entry level dog. I wouldn't get a frenchie in hopes to eventually get a Shiba, they are two completely different animals, not to mention regardless of breed individual dogs have different temperaments. People say I lucked out because my Shiba is not reactive, however the breeder I went with bred her Shibas based on health and temperament, which is why I went with her in the first place. Bad breeding practices and irresponsible owners will always result in a bad time for everyone, however there are always exceptions to the rule.
Im a first time dog owner and got a shiba inu. It was fine. They are actually very quiet, chill dogs. Basically potty trained himself within a few days. Leash training went well too. My boy learned fast.
My neighbor got a Shiba rescue. The first time she left him to go to work he was in the house screaming bloody murder. I went and looked in the window thinking the poor thing was injured and there he was, perfectly fine, standing on the sofa looking out the window. He continued screaming on and off all day until she came home. She takes him to work now. 🤣
Lol 😂 That’s a funny story! In Japan Shiba-Ken is not screaming type dog. We got many Shiba-Ken it’s a common dog in suburbs. We usually keep them outside in a backyard with a dog house (a little dog house he can enter to sleep or rest) with a bowl of clean water. It’s not meant to be kept inside. It usually enjoys outside, they guard the house looking out property and their dense coat keep them warm even in Japanese winter. We take them for a walk in the morning and at night twice a day and they’re independent dogs meant to be kept outside.
@@KittenBowl1I saw a Shiba kept outside! It was clear, he was miserable to be separated from his family! Maybe if there were two Shibas together, it would have been better? He was too isolated!
A great video about one of the most popular dog breeds today! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks! One thing - I kept hearing "Sheeba in you" and wondering what it meant. Then I realized it was shiba-inu. It's pronounced sheeba ee-noo.
@@chadyi727 By typing "shiba inu dog" into Google Translate and not being aware of the redundancy. In the UK, our relationship with foreign languages is kind of awful.
my shiba inu passed away yesterday november 21st 2021. she was 17 and a half years old. she was one of the best dogs i ever had in my life.
It makes me sad reading posts like this. The pain is felt and it is terrible to lose your 1 love. Please stay strong.
17.5 is such a long life for a Shibe. You must have taken such good care of her and given her a great happy life.
Hope your doing well !

It's waiting for you at the golden gates
I love that you bring light to all kinds of dogs and point out their histories and their positive and negative traits. People should know what they are getting into before they get any animal.
I hope she covers retro pugs at some point
Research is why I changed my mind on certain breeds and why others found themselves on my radar.
that's true if more people did their research on what dog breed fits their lifestyle then less of them would end up in shelters. it took me 2 years to decide that the Cane Corso was the right breed for me and 2 more to find a good breeder i hope to get my Cane Corso pup this year
@@redschafer7804 good luck
Exactly
In Japan, I've seen Shiba Inu sitting outside a shop, untied - so well behaved and trained that it did not move from where it was told to stay, not even standing up, until the owner came back.
Many dog breeds are capable of that, but it takes a significant amount of work to get them there. Australian Shepherds are known for this too. Both really cool breeds for sure.
I have one the more they know you the more they’ll do that.
Yeah, the western world tries to understand the dog through how other dogs act. It's should be seen more as a loyal wolf that's been domesticated. The Japanese allow the dogs to be their own animal and give them space understanding they prefer to have more personal space generally, but will keep an eye over it's territory and owner like a wolf you befriended while camping in the wild. If you stay there forever it will just chill there close to your camp fire and eat with you, etc. Once it becomes your friend it will stay there. These people think of it as a dog getting distracted, when it's rather a dog with wolf dna doing what it does naturally.
@@francoisnel5253 it makes you work for love. I like the chase.
Well, if you were in Japan then you would know they are not called "Shiba Inu" but rather Shiba-ken. 30 years in Japan and never once heard someone say "Shiba Inu". Inu means dog in Japanese so you can see it sounds strange.
My Shiba Inu is SUPER silent. But she screams only if she is very scared (always over dramatic), heard only twice. She does not like barking, only in a lower voice, only if she thinks that something is weird (a sound or a person). Amazing, smart, and intelligent dogs. I can openly say, the best dog. She is also a hunter, catches cockroaches and insects since being 3 months old. I love her so much!
SAME WITH MY SHEPHED SHIBA CROSS
I have had 2 Shiba inus in my life, and the one I currently live with is the most gentle Shiba I have ever seen. I have never seen him scream. He doesn't even bark. He only purrs lol
My Shikoku ken rescue, Tomo, purrs, too!! Love it.
I've owned a shiba for 7 years and I have never heard her scream! She howls but nothing to that caliber. Shibas are MIRACULOUS and majestic animals-- they require a lot of patience and walks but well worth it. I could not imagine my life without her & thank you for my new favorite video on the internet.
Your Shiba will scream when they don't like something that is going on.
I am on my second Shiba. The first was an adult rescue and she screamed all the time. My current I got as a puppy and she howls but never screams. They are all different.
@@k.laixxx i had mine for 2 months she never screamed either
It depends on how you treat your dog. You probably never screamed at your shibe
@@LaSa1 now she scream when she want to go outside lol
I'm a dog groomer and yeah... They uh. Scream. It's terrifying. Idk how many times I've jumped in terror bc the little fucker just shrieked like it was being murdered and I genuinely thought I'd killed it, but nope. I just touched his foot. They're frickin adorable ❤️
😂😂 oh my god i love how you didn't hold back...and yea they scare the crap out of you , first time i met one it definitely caught me off guard and made my husky jump too 😂
Mine only does it when I've been gone for awhile, I love it. How ever my neighbors must think I'm killing her. It kinda sounds like a baby screaming.
The last time I took Momo to the vet, I heard a scream from the back room. In a minute, the technician brought out to me in the rubber choke leash they use to control a dog my Momo and said to me, "You put the leash on!" I guess the scream spooked her that much. LOL! @Nanette Ralphs
Lololol👍🇨🇦
I have a 6 years old shiba Inu when he was a puppy the first time I experienced it was when he got his foot stuck in the one of the crate doors. It was terrifying.
No one:
Literally no one:
Presenter: Shiba _in you._
Happiness is a Butterfly: lmao
😂😂🤣🤣
There is a little shiba in all of us! NOW GIBE CHIMKEN NUGS HOOMAN AROOOOOOO!!!!
Eeeeenuuuu
time to release the Shiba in me
I have 2 shiba inu, a male and a female, both red ones. I love them so much. They are so well behaved and such loyal companions.
“Screaming dog of japan”
More like legendary meme of the world
rip kabosu
“Screaming Doge of Japan”
Calling it a legendary meme is an insulting title given how special the dog is to Japan, and I'm sure thats not how they want the dog to be remembered as. Its an ancient breed. Have some respect. That meme has led to so many Shibas being abandoned in shelters or re-homed cause people want one for shits and giggles without knowing anything about their temperament, then will give them up when they become too much to handle.
Mari a Shiba Inu saved her master and his grand-daughter from their collapsed house after an earthquake struck Japan. One even ran a shop.
That's awesome
Wow!
Isnt that a movie
Yes it is. Its title in English is The Story of Mari and Three Puppies.
So amaze
My shiba loves being alone but also demands all the attention when im home, hes very protective and it can be really hard to explain to people they cant just walk up and pet him. He decides on wich day he wants be pet 😂
Mine does the exact same thing! Wouldnt want it any other way though
@Anon Sevenforsixfivesix In what sentence do you even read productive...
My dog likes being petted and it still annoys me when people want to pet him, I feel like they should get their own dog, I just find it wierd that people think they need to pet him.
Don't allow your dog to make rules! No food aggression!
@@sharroon7574 people should always ask you first.if it's a SERVICE DOG don't ever touch them if there working.
Shiba Inus are the dog breed that made me want to own a dog back then
I’ve had Akitas in the past but now I have my first Shiba. He’s amazing. So smart, loyal and unique. Best decision ever to adopt him. ♥️♥️♥️
貴方に日本犬を飼われて良かったと思います
I smiled from ear to ear while watching this video! My Sheba girl passed away March 2020 from cancer at 13 years old. I miss her so much. Your video was so informative & I enjoyed watching all of those sweet Shiba Inu's!
We have a Shiba and she is a very rare longhair. Her coat is exquisite. You rarely see a longhair. Not mentioned in the video is that Shibas clean themselves like a cat, truly amazing!
I don't think I have ever seen one! I have a creme Shiba Inu which you don't see too much either. It's because they are considered 'mistakes' as they don't show the breed specific markings.
Sorry but I don't think you have a shiba then, most likely a mix of some kind 😕
@@Kaia.Duval. Shiba inu's like Akita inu's do have long coats. It's a throwback gene. It takes both parents to carry that gene and its quite rare but they are purebreds.
@@johnnygreen200 What I was trying to say was that unfortunately I've come across a lot of breeders who sell shibas with "rare genes" but without a pedigree, which often indicates they're mixes and those breeders are just lying for profit which is horrible 😒 If it really is a purebred then good for them, I honestly didn't know they existed until today so thanks for the info. I recently saw someone trying to sell puppies whose mother was quite obviously a mix of some kind, not even close to a shiba, and they were saying it was a rare blue shiba exported from Russia 🙄
@@Kaia.Duval. so cream and pinto have to be mixes and are not considered shibas? Do your homework then.
Cream is a defect that makes them look all white, not showing the obligational orajiro inside the legs, chest, etc. As white doesnt show white... i Think in England they are still allowed to breed with them which is actually dangerous as they are not able to reproduce every colour, which actually killed some other colours in other japanese breeds already...
Pinto is a defect making the fur show spots/intersections of other colours. As the colours should not be "mixed up", with a certain exception for the rarest but in my opinion most beautiful colour, sesame (meaning there should be consistent areas/marks of one colour) they are not accepted by breeding Standards either. Still, they are shibas... cream are considered "lucky puppies" in Japan. But you shouldnt breed with them...
I'm honored to have one cuddled up to me right now 😁 They're truly amazing dogs. Very smart, independant, stubborn but loyal and full of love, they just have their own ways of expressing it. When I start petting mine and she's not in the mood, she will just stand up and walk away 😂
😂😂😂🐕🐕
Lmaooo
@Alan Wilson They're very majestic dogs 🐶 But absolutely great companions
The shiba and Akita are so unique it’s crazy, really one of a kind compared to every other dog breeds who are pretty much all the same.
Mine lasted 14 years, I loved him so much. I can confirm they are hard to train but I don't mind, it was worth it. A very lovable, loyal dog, always so happy whenever he saw me, very independent and never was asking other people to be cuddled, only with me. I wished I had more time for him in my uni days... :(
They are amazing and as you said hard to train but some people still adore them
My sister is picking up our Shiba Inu (8 weeks old) tomorrow.
I’m beyond excited 😆.
Biggest surprise from a Christmas 🎄 gift 🎁 I ever got in my life.
I kinda teared up ⬆️ when my sister told me.
Always wanted a Shiba Inu.
congrats
My family has owned 3 Shibas and tho each had its unique characteristics, what they had in common was: they place themselves 2nd lowest in the pack. My dad was the no1 alpha, absolute obedience. Either my mom or younger brother seems to have thought lower than the dog, boy did have an attitude, often didn’t listen, disobeyed. Despite its chill attitude towards strangers, the loyalty towards its pack (family) was really something.
We had to put our 16 year old Shiba Inu down 2 months ago. Her name was Willah. She was by far the best dog we’ve had. She was my little side kick. Such a beautiful unique dog. I miss her so much.
That's a considerable age though.
Tonka my Shiba Inu will be 12 Years old in a couple days.... He is a 35 pound Creamy Shiba and he is my Best Friend and i try and take him everywhere when i can.. He is loves Human contact and taking walks.. I have had the Honor to be part of his Life. i love how the Owners all put the disclaimer of thing can go wrong and thats what so endearing about them, they truly have a Mind of their own...
Even though Tonka isnt a standard color he still is my Shiba and thank You for a Awesome video...
Wow! 12 years old thats amazing. Wishes to
your Shiba and may Tonka have more years to come. Dogs are truly a mans best friend.
Thanks for this! I have a rescue shiba and he is me best friend. He’s more than a dog. We respect and love each other
I lost my little girl, Zero, on the 20th of Jan, 2024, due to nose cancer, and I’m totally lost with out her. She was crème colored, and simply the most perfect Shiba….11 years she never pooped in the house, chewed anything, the most perfect dog….I want to get another one, but afraid I wont find one like her….thank you for having those video, my heart is so broken 😭💔. I’m in Tennessee, and I don’t know of a reliable breeder…They are stubborn, but I love them…..thank you ❤
My girl died last year at age 17. My heart so broken. Smashed. My breeder saw how much my heart hurt so she gave me another 1 year old female a few months later to foster, with the possibility of a keeping her. It did not take away the pain and the new dog is nothing like my previous dog. The new dog was perfect, already trained, but it was hard for me at first because I compared her to my previous dog and also because my heart was tired.
But after 9 months the new dog has won me over. She is different than my first shiba, but so wonderful, intuative, goofy, smart, affectionate. She's brilliant, empathetic and alert. All the good things about a Shiba, I think you know what I mean.
You will never have a dog like the one you lost, but another well bred Shiba will give you joy again when you are ready. If you have a relationship with a breeder maybe you can do similar to what I did and "foster to own".
Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m hoping I can find a new little girl to love, but being in Talbott, Tn, not much opportunity here, but the breed is unbelievable, and have me hooked….but thank you for your encouraging words and reaching out ❤❤
Thank you for caring ❤
Wish I knew a breeder that would be willing to let me foster a new fur baby 🙏🏻
I am a Japanese and I love Shiba Inu dogs. I am thrilled to see you cherish these cute dogs. They deserve much love and devotion from us human beings. They are the best dogs for me.
Watching this with a japanese friend. I giggle every time she says 'sheeba inyou', he cannot get over the japanese anthem playing on repeat n the background xD
LOL watching this for the first today and I was thinking the saaaame thing! Was wondering if anyone else noticed haha
Just like the Dingo! Very cat like, the saying goes," you don't own a Dingo, the Dingo owns you!" That wildness is so endearing though. 🧡
Oranjmuse Meyer you should search for the article on the Papua New Guinea singing dog, it says the dingo and singing dog branched off from a common ancestor - I think it’s pretty cool!
Micro orange fluff wolves with a cat inside? Cute!
Every other dog: Bork bork woof woof ruff ruff
Shiba inu: *S c r e a m s*
My shiba Inu came from a Amish family that left it outside in a cage with his siblings and mom for most of its 8 week life. He didn’t know how to react to the toys we got him, but after patience and lots of playtime outside. He is the best decision I have ever made.
We got ours from an Amish breeder in KY that raises his the same way. But she was clean and healthy. She was shy for a few days lol
Thank you for posting this video which focuses fully on the beautiful breed without unnecessary distractions.
Adorable dogs!!
I love how while they're talking about how aggressive these dogs are, they show two of them playing and loving life.
The shiba walk is an AMAZING idea!! That allows the humans to get to experience the dogs before they get one. As for the agility, they knew they were on the big stage with this show so they wanted to make sure everyone knew they were superior in every way!
I love the breeder's responsible approach to discourage those who may want to get one just for the looks.
I got my shiba 11 years ago and they are indeed different than other dogs. They aren't super cuddly like a retriever so if you are expecting them to follow you around and cuddle then you should look into a different breed. They will come to you for pets/attention when they feel like it and do their own thing most of the time.
My ten year old boy, Aki, is an exception to this rule. He is extremely affectionate, with the unfortunate side effect of separation anxiety. He is my 'teddy bear on demand'.
柴犬がこんなに大切にされているのを知らなかったです。どうも有り難うございます。❤日本の犬であることに誇りを持ちます。❤
I have one - his name is Balto. He has been such a great gift. He helps with my depression and anxiety
Always loved the name Balto, also my husky helped me with anxiety a lot. I bought him not for my anxiety, i did not had a clue he could help me with my phobias, a half year owning him and suddenly i realised that certain negative thought or phobia were gone. He saved me somehow.
Good to hear more people have such a positive friendship with their hairy compagnion, hang in there dude, with such a pall , things can only get better!
@@gazepskotzs4 my husky has helped me Totally in the department department
@@ginajones2328 Huskies are such awesome beings, good for you to have this strong connection with her too!
When I was in a middle school long time ago, we got our first dog, a 柴犬, from my father's friend who hunted with dogs. He was a pure 柴犬, and the gentlest and calmest, and the most patient dog I had ever seen. For a long time, I thought he was the representation of 柴犬's nature. Maybe he was a rare exception.
쉬바イぬ 柴犬
Shiba Inus are mini versions of Akitas I love their scream it's so cute :)
It is incredibly cute but you should never try to force it as that would stress your shiba
So true! I can't understand why Akitas don't get along with Huskies?
@@markopolo945 Akitas don't tend to like dogs, and huskies are... huskies.
@@yeahiknow4370 😂😂😂😂
I would love to have a Akita inu
Shiba's are the cats of the dog world, I want one black Shiba so bad.
18:27 that part when she describes the personality, the character, of the breed, she basically described my 9 year old english springer spaniel! So I just fell more in love with the shiba!
This was great, Anneka! Shibas have been my lifelong companion of choice and I think you did a terrific job capturing the beauty and quirks of the breed. I’d love to see you cover the more rare Japanese Shikoku as well in the future.
Yes! I acquired a rescue dog which looked like a Shiba. I have come to realize, however, that at 45 lb, my Tomo(dachi) is a Shikoku Ken! How a Shikoku Ken made its way to rural south central Wisconsin is beyond me, but we are incredibly happy with her. She has the run of our small farm and loves to hunt but usually comes back within 20 minutes and jumps at the front door to be let in. The few vehicles which come to our dead end location are not a danger.
I had a rescue Shiba Inu for 14 years...she died last year and I miss her enormously. I adored her but would not recommend Shiba's for novice owners. They are not easy dogs, they are often aloof, unfriendly and dog aggressive - which she was. They are very cat like, she was as beautiful when she died as when I first rescued her. If you want a cuddly affectionate dog, this may not be the right breed for you. I love this breed but recognize that it's not for everyone
This girl: Akita in you
Me: there's still hope
This girl now: shiba in you
Me: nope never mind
And they expect people from non English speaking nations to speak the language like a Brit or an American.
We all have a shiba in us
it’s so distracting honestly i’m about to watch it on mute
Such an elegant and regal breed. Not to be messed with. So gorgeous and independent. I’m in love with this breed already.
世界の柴犬、幸せであれ、最高柴犬
Excellent job of portraying the Shiba Inu, Liz and Michaella certainly are the top breeders in the UK and also provide top class after care should you ever need it and which is why we have our Shiba puppy from them (one of the 4 pups jumping all over you 😂🐶)
Yesssss I waited all day long for this video to be released!!!
We will be getting our Shiba in december:)
Greetings from Switzerland and thanks for the great content!
You are welcome 🙏
Congratulations I wish you all the best with your Shiba🐕
We love our female
@@harukoandhana2641 thanks a lot! We are waiting since a year but we are really looking forward to her and had enough time to prepare everything for her:)
I hope she will come along well with our other dog!
Greetings!
Japan's national treasure, goes to UK to meet them. Honestly I'm not a dog person but I love these dogs.
Shiba Inu is very expressive and very cute.
So I'm healed by her every day!
I've always been a fan of larger dogs, until I met my daughters Shiba Inu, Hadley, I fell in love with her, she's very independent, og boy she's a cat in a dog's body. I absolutely love this breed so much.💜💜💜💜💜🐱🐕
We love our shiba!! He is the best buddy and the perfect fit for our family.
Thank you so much for this episode! I "manage" one of these little monsters and they are truly the most unique and special dogs I've ever had. Love your show and feel like I always learn something new. Take care,
These are dogs that can not be off leash. They are too independent for that.
@@paudeenlee thats what i was told when i got mine. Because of that we didnt really train walking off leash much. Wich was a big mistake. After like 6 months we tried letting him off leash and he does fairly well. Yes he wanders off 50 meters away from us and if something is interesting for him he doesnt listen to call backs. But if i just keep walking away he will full sprint to me because he doesnt want to be left behind. Dont listen to what people say and train off leash walking from day 1 and you should be fine.
My favorite dog breed. They seem intelligent, they know what they want, such divas. I've read that they're more like a roommate than a pet. Really cannot wait to have one. Such beautiful doggo 🧡
They are supper affectionate and in tune with "their person" and want to please, but do not like being overhandled. It breaks them somehow.
I have two grand dogs that are Sheba’s. Most adorable!!🐕🐕
柴犬は最高だぞ
Wow it’s so beautiful it’s scream is so elegant 🙂🙃 ((first from America))
Lol. That scream is so insane
I used to own one, and he was an absolute killer. Darwin was a hunter like nothing I've seen. Mice, gophers, lizards, birds, rabbit and he even tried to catch deer. There were a small number of dogs who he welcomed into his pack, one was a half wolf named Ranger, who was the only one tough enough to "play" as rough as Darwin liked. He bullied most other dogs, even a 100lbs Golden Retriever. He loved tiny dogs, he loved puppies, and he was terrified of fireworks, but afraid of nothing else.
Sorry the "shiba group walk" made me laugh out loud. My Shiba would just lose her mind at that haha
I've had two Shibas. Back in 1996 I located a breeder in Arizona and. We picked Saki up at our local airport, having her flown to us when she was just 12 weeks old. Three years later we
drove 300 miles to Colorado with Saki where we left her over night at the home of a champion stud owner. I've never seen anything as cute as those four baby Shiba pups from Saki's only liter. Of the 3 females and 1 male we decided to keep one of the little female pups naming her Kiren. Having some experience with Shibas by this point, we realized just how important early socialization is with this breed.
Before they were even a week old we started the pups on a desensitization program. At least three times a day we'd separate the pups from their mother long enough for them to get a little hungry. Then before bringing mama back in to nurse them, we'd spend about 15 minutes handling each pup, paying special attention to holding their paws and nestling their little noses right up to our face to familiarize them with our touch and smell. The pups quickly learned to associate this handling time with the reward of being reunited with their mother and nursing. At two weeks old we started transitioning the pups to bottle feeding and by their forth week we had them fully weened to a bottle, and we were either physically holding the pups or keeping them right next to us almost 24 hours per day.
It was a lot of work but the difference was night and day. Saki, the mama lived to be about 16 years old and even near the end we could never trust her not to run off if she ever got out of the house off a leash. By contrast we were able to train Kiren to always stay within 20 to 30 feet of us when taking her on a walk without a leash, and not to leave the yard, even without it being fenced in. I've never talked to another Shiba owner who could say that.
I've had mine for 12 years and she walks off-leash, listens really well, and is great with other dogs. I took her off the hands of a grandmother who found out she was "too much to handle." She grew up with an Akita, who passed away a year or so ago. My parents have a poodle. My sister has a lab mix. And my girlfriend has a bull terrier and had a jack russell. Callie can stay at anyone's house, problem-free and without incident for any period of time - a day, a week, a month. My mom actually BEGS me to go on a trip or have a busy week, so she can dog-sit her. Then, it's hard getting her back, lol.
She doesn't chew things up; she doesn't complain; she is very independent...but also very loving. She just likes her space at times...but, hey, SO DO I!!. She is literally the greatest dog you could ever have. Everywhere I take her, she's a hit. People can't stop asking about her. And she is so respectful and loyal that I almost feel bad that she tries that hard to impress me that much.
I have only owned one shiba and others have had them and had different experiences. But, with the right amount of effort, attention, and socialization...it'll be the best thing you ever did. She's getting up there in age, but you would think she's still 3 years old. I think she has plenty of years left in her, but I can't begin to think what it would be like without her one day. She's that special.
Looking at them just makes me feel happy
I am soooo happy I got a Shiba as my first dog! They are a handful I tell you, but they are so special!
Shiba inu's are one of my favorite breed of dog. They carry something magical in there eyes. Take one look at them scare on, and you will recognize a profound intelligence staring right back at you. They remind me of cats as well with the air of aloofness that they often carry with themselves. very self confident dogs even in the most undesirable of homes. I am so glad that caring japanese dog lovers saved them from extinction like so many other animals man unwittingly has destruyed
There's a small mistake in the video. All those 3 breed of Shibas still exist in Japan. Their bloodlines were used to preserve and give birth to the modern Shiba Inu, but they did not go extinct. They're simply less known or not known at all in the west.
Ww2 was brutal Cold War and year of depression a lot of innocent dogs family of shiva inu died but thank God the Shiba inu relived again and helped relived Japan again Thank God
My shiba inu is 11 years old, red color, sweet as can be, independent, quiet and has a fondness of escaping lol
always loved shiba's perfect size, not small, not large, it's just the right size
Anneka, I don't know very much about dogs, having lived with cats my whole life, but the shiba inu breed is one of the most beautiful dog breed that I've ever seen! They are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for this video!
You are welcome 🙏
@@Animal-Watch 🐱👍🏻
As someone who has a shiba, I can confirm that it is one of the best breeds to have. Loyalty is off the chats with my boy. Love him so much.
Great video of these special puppies. I got my first from Japan town in Los Angeles in 1983. It was like adopting a child. Shachi was a great pet!
Later my wife and I showed, red , and black and tan shibas. Had a show kennel for many years.
They are a wonderful breed of dog, full of energy, and life. Miss having them . All mine are gone now.
It's "She-ba Ee-nuu", not "In-you".
Lol yes
Batmetal likes “in you” better...check ✅
In You? YES.
she exaggerates plenty of vowels, shiba inu is just one word you are paying attention to.
Actually it's Shiba ken. Japanese don't say inu when they talk about the Shiba. Inu means dog in general. For some reason western people keep saying it. Inu means dog. But the correct word is actually Shiba ken. Ken means dog to but in kanji combined together with an other kanji , it changes . Dog alone is 1 kanji but the name Shiba is 1 kanji combined together the kanji then changes to ken.
For a long time now I have thought this would be the dog for me ... Love it. What a lovely video featuring all the Shiba's traits & characteristics nicely presented by the breeder herself. Thank you.
I definitely do not recommend a shiba for first time dog owners. My family has one, did zero research before getting her (even worse, they bought her from a pet store for a whopping $3,000). She’s difficult to deal with, very stubborn. She loves to run, but can not be off leash or good luck getting her back lol very high energy too. They are beautiful dogs, but please do your research! Go to a reputable breeder, or rescue one! Otherwise you will end up with one with serious temperament issues
My uncle knew someone with three of these little beasts!
Our family did the same thing! We definitely did not train him properly as he was our first dog but luckily he been so great for us. Independent, low maintenance, clean, smart and loyal. And he’s the cutest
My dog was like that till i trained it. Takes time
Charleigha Cao-Gagnon I’m happy he turned out great for you! 😃 mines a nightmare, extreme food aggression, disrespectful to other dogs, skittish (especially when it comes to loud noises), and has zero fluff. She’s clearly poorly bred, but a lot of people find her cute 😆
burningknuckle26 I agree, training is key! But when the dog absolutely will not listen to you, and no one else in the family wants to train it, I gave up lol I didn’t pay for her, & She’s not my responsibility, so I gave up lol to be fair, I’m used to highly trainable dogs, I’ve only ever personally owned german shepherds
And the screaming thing, yes. I had read about the noise, but you cannot comprehend it until you 1st hear it. My 1st shiba puppy was used to sleeping with me or in a crate next to my bed while potty training. When visiting a boyfriend's parents' house, the puppy woke the whole household with his screaming when we tried to make him sleep in a crate that was not right next to my bed. They are also very cat-like and even sometimes make meowing sounds. They are generally a very clean breed like a husky and only smell if they get wet or dirty outside.
I take my Shiba Inu to the nursing home also. Nobu loves to go he is so patient. I love him so much. This dog got me through the worse of my life. ❤
- Anneka: Shiba INU!
- Me: In me?
- Anneka: INU!
Pets are amazing. We had this breed in our family for a short time. Her name is Kagome.
Ah, Shibas! Got to love the feisty little weirdos. Great work on the video! I especially like that you didn’t shy away from the breed’s downsides too. Since you love wolf-like dogs, perhaps you could do a video on either the Finnish Spitz or Finnish Lapphund some point in the future.
ＳＩＢＡＳＵ?そんな犬は日本には居ません
They’re so cute and lovely ❤❤❤❤
Loved this We had a Shiba for 13 years. What a screamer, protector ,runner if he got out. No cuddler He developed dementia
If anyone wants a shiba, find a reputable breeder that breeds for temperament. You will thank me later.
Also, I’ve owned GSDs, worked with malinois, and my shiba is by far the smartest and most agile dog I’ve ever witnessed in my life. When they said this is a big dog in a small dogs body, they’re not kidding. Mine plays with dogs that weigh 4-5 times my shiba, she out maneuvers them and outsmarts them constantly. It’s like watching the Olympics.
Shibas also can live to be 20. So if you get one, you’re in it for the long haul.
Go on a Shiba Walk talk to the Owners /Servants to find out about breeders and the temperament of the dogs most important is the health checks are done on the parents before buying
Indeed, because an friend of me his Shiba an she is very aggressive iff she is laying down, iff you come to close even iff you didn't want to give her attention or didn't realy notice she whas there, she will attack you and she hates children, it's creepy how that cute little doggy becomes a monster in a second. No way I want her in my house. And I truely love dog's 😕
Nick Meersschaut they’re all different. Mine hasn’t met a person or an animal it doesn’t like. However she has boundaries, if another dog jumps on me while I’m holding her, she gets very angry. If another dog tries to take her belongings in her home, she gets upset. Other than that, this is why I speak upon temperament. You can get a very aggressive shiba or you can have one that won’t stop licking you, like mine. 😂
@@bbllaakkeeee och yeah I've seen some sweet and loving Shiba's to, it's just that one I can't trust. I kinda blame the owner, he is a bit lazy and he doesn't do real training on her or give her any commands. He just let her be, it's been so far that she even wants to bite him iff she doesn't feel like moving out of the way. She's overly spoiled and gets what she wants and when she wants it.
How about adopting a rescue dog over buying from any breeder, “responsible” or not? There are shibas in need, too!
My shiba doesnt scream and i am gratefull for it 😌
😂
i have a sheba/basenji mix......rescued her off a country road in rural E. Texas on a spring day, the pavement was bubbling from the heat...she jumped in my car..she scream/yodels.....tries to boss the Rhodesian & Moscow Watchdog and Malinois/pitt mix......and glued to me....i did not breed/buy any of these dogs.....have 6 rescues....
I honestly want a screaming dog.
Shiba inus are so adorable
I love my shiba inu but the first year was so difficult. She’s 6yrs old now (we got her around 2 months old I think) and she’s amazing. I love all dogs but to me shibas are the perfect breed.
Love the video!!! These dogs are so awesome and beautiful!! My Wife and I have got 4 Shibas and wouldn’t trade them for anything!!!! Love this Breed!!!😊😊😊😊😊
The most cat-like dog you with ever have. I love my girl 🥰
I love my Shiba inu but I don't recommend this breed for 1st time dog owners.
I was a first time Shiba owner but I did my research on the breed Now I have 2 full bread with papers I don’t discourage anyone to get a Shiba but do your research
I agree that they have to be on a leash my shibas both at puppy age got off there collar and they were gone Luckily the one Shiba tackled the other I do recommend a hardness a sturdy one they are strong when they want to go after a another dog especially my male Shiba or nice rabbit or squirrel they do shed a lot but they are the best dog breed I’ve ever had thank you for this video
I disagree, this dog requires a responsible owner, regardless of if they are first time or not. I'm a first time dog owner, and my Shiba got her AKC star puppy certification last month. She is well tempered, and well trained for a puppy and I never stop training her.
It's very misleading to say they aren't good for first time owners because of this misconception "experienced" owners get them and have no idea how to deal with them simply because they are not responsible owners.
I said this under another comment but I can only partially agree. It's definitely useful to have the experience. But if you have the right kind of personality and temperament for this dog and you really want it and are willing to put in the immense breed specific research you can get away with it as a first time dog owner. If you're not willing or able to do this you won't get away with it even if you had 10 dogs before.
It will be a lot more difficult for you if you never had a dog but it's totally doable.
I adopted my Shiba from a family who had to re-home him because of complicated circumstances but they were first time dog owners and they honestly did a good job with him.
I do want to work with him on certain things, he is a bit anxious and grew up a bit too sheltered but overall I am impressed with what they have done.
@@danimayb I agree people have to start somewhere, which is why I don't believe there is anything such as an entry level dog. I wouldn't get a frenchie in hopes to eventually get a Shiba, they are two completely different animals, not to mention regardless of breed individual dogs have different temperaments.
People say I lucked out because my Shiba is not reactive, however the breeder I went with bred her Shibas based on health and temperament, which is why I went with her in the first place. Bad breeding practices and irresponsible owners will always result in a bad time for everyone, however there are always exceptions to the rule.
Im a first time dog owner and got a shiba inu. It was fine. They are actually very quiet, chill dogs. Basically potty trained himself within a few days. Leash training went well too. My boy learned fast.
I love how excited you are to meet them haha. Such magnificent dogs truly. So damn precious! 🥰
可愛い芝犬ちゃん！素敵な動画をありがとう😊
My neighbor got a Shiba rescue. The first time she left him to go to work he was in the house screaming bloody murder. I went and looked in the window thinking the poor thing was injured and there he was, perfectly fine, standing on the sofa looking out the window. He continued screaming on and off all day until she came home. She takes him to work now. 🤣
Lol 😂 That’s a funny story!
In Japan Shiba-Ken is not screaming type dog. We got many Shiba-Ken it’s a common dog in suburbs. We usually keep them outside in a backyard with a dog house (a little dog house he can enter to sleep or rest) with a bowl of clean water. It’s not meant to be kept inside. It usually enjoys outside, they guard the house looking out property and their dense coat keep them warm even in Japanese winter. We take them for a walk in the morning and at night twice a day and they’re independent dogs meant to be kept outside.

@@KittenBowl1I saw a Shiba kept outside! It was clear, he was miserable to be separated from his family! Maybe if there were two Shibas together, it would have been better? He was too isolated!
A great video about one of the most popular dog breeds today! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks! One thing - I kept hearing "Sheeba in you" and wondering what it meant. Then I realized it was shiba-inu. It's pronounced sheeba ee-noo.
I have 5 of these dogs, I highly recommend you get them if you like dogs with a bit more personality, sass, and calmness. My favorite breed by far.

I like all dogs but I love shiba,Akita and french bulldogs .😍😘❤️🐶
shiro, suki, and raya brought me here!
Shiba Inus are so adorable
I miss my Cody so much. He was the sweetest Shiba Inu. 😢♥️
Please fix the title where it contains the Japanese Kanji characters. 柴犬犬 reads as Shiba Inu Inu or Shiba Dog Dog as Inu means Dog. It's just 柴犬.
I was gonna say.
That's what happens when you directly copy from Google translate without knowing the language.
Idk how you can get that wrong lol
@@chadyi727 By typing "shiba inu dog" into Google Translate and not being aware of the redundancy.
In the UK, our relationship with foreign languages is kind of awful.
@@reloadpsi I mean do they not know anyone who speaks Japanese just to check it lol
What a Noble animal. Much respect ✊.
Well-made and informative video! Cheers.
her: the Shiba _in you_ ✨
the shiba in me: 👁👄👁
