The Shiba Inu is a small, Japanese dog breed that is known for its independent and stubborn personality. They are also known for their thick double coat, which comes in a variety of colors, including red, sesame, and black and tan. Shiba Inus are originally from Japan, where they were used for hunting and tracking. They are still popular in Japan today, but they have also become increasingly popular in other parts of the world in recent years. Shiba Inus are loyal and affectionate dogs, but they can also be quite independent and stubborn. They require early socialization and training to be well-behaved.
