Shiba Inu Shedding - How Much Do Shiba Inu's Shed?

How Much Do Shiba Inu's Shed?  Shiba Inu Shedding is an event.  

Yes, they shed a lot A LOT.  But no worries, you can vacuum their fur without any hassles.  It can be fun for you and a bonding experience for your Shiba Inu -- they will love you for it!  Shiba Inu dogs like being vacuumed so much and they are so well behaved that I think it actually relaxes them.  

Or you can use what most people use, and that is what they call the “FURminator”!

White Shiba Inu - Pure White Shibas!

The

dogs are usually a rare find, but not impossible!  

You can research a Shiba Inu dog breeder that breeds White Shiba Inu dogs.  Some of the White Shiba Inu dogs can cream markings that are seen on the ears and undercoat.

Shiba Inu Husky Mix - The Coolest Dog Ever!

The Shiba Inu Husky Mix is a good mix since both are similar breeds.  Shiba Inu and Huskies both like to howl, have curly tails, and ears are both triangular shaped.  I see no real difference in the mix, especially if you mix the black & tan Shiba Inu with a Siberian Husky.  

The only difference from an original Shiba Inu and a Shiba Inu Husky mix would be that their fur would be a little coarser, the size/height would be bigger, their eyes would be blue, and it would be much more stronger!

Shiba Inu Lab Mix - The Best Shiba Inu Ever!

The Shiba Inu Lab Mix breeds are even more rare than the white Shiba Inu.  Heck, I’ve seen a Shiba Inu Beagle mix and their ears are like the Beagles.  I’m sure you can mix a Shiba Inu with most breeds; however, their personality are most likely to change since they are mixed.  

The Shiba Inu Lab mix are usually made to make the Shiba Inu more affectionate, since they are not known to be.  Shiba Inu dogs are like cats and usually hate being in the water or taking baths.  So I think that the Shiba Inu Lab mix will most likely favor watersports, as all Labradors loves being in the water!

Shiba Inu Temperament - Do Shiba Inu's Have a Temper?

Do Shiba Inu’s have a temper?  Answer is yes and no.  As Cesar Millan would say, you have to be “Assertive”.  The

"Shiba Inu Temperament"

is rather complex.  They can be playful one minute and then angry the next.  It is important that the owner is an experienced dog owner.  When deciding on purchasing a Shiba Inu, keep in mind that these dog breeds are not typical dogs (you’re not getting a Labrador).  They can be moody and grumpy, then they can be super nice and sweet.  They can greet the owner at the door with a “Shiba Inu smile” on their face, and then they might growl and be pissed off.  But I personally think that they look cute when they are angry or complaining.  At the end of the day, they are just cute and funny dogs.  You have to have a sense of humor.

(Caution!  Shiba Inu dogs are NOT for the first time owner!) 
These are the MOST well-behaved Shiba Inu dogs I have ever witnessed!
