  Description:
The Shiba-Inus with his outgoing personality, convenient size, and good nature has made him the most common pet in the Japan. Growing in popularity worldwide it has only been in recent years that he has been seen out of his native land. Though he may be difficult to train, if he is handled with consistent firm training he will respond well. He is not a dog for the faint-hearted as he is a large animal in a small body. Shiba Inus are loyal and possess a good sense of what you are feeling. He needs to have human interaction and should not be left alone in the back yard. Unique vocal sounds his bark may sound like a yodel. He will usually only bark when he has reason.
