These wide Shiba Cheeks are likely to be associated with the fat, chubby cheeks of human babies that everybody wants to squeeze cause theyre so cute. Due to plain genetics, Shiba Inus have a bit more fat and fur in the cheek region that causes their cheeks to be nice and plump. And, oh so squeezable.

If you demand this from a Shiba Inu, both you and the dog will be extremely unhappy together. As a puppy, Shibas will teach YOU about their potty needs and will almost immediately learn sit, but any further orders or demands are routinely subject to balking, skittering away, and bald-faced insubordination.

As cute as they are, Shiba Inus are known to have some congenital birth defects that could impair their mating and and breeding capabilities at a stage that is too early, or too late. One of these congenital issues include heart issues.

The Shiba Inu breed is especially susceptible to skin allergies, especially atopic skin dermatitis, which causes extreme itching and tends to get progressively worse. Therefore, you need to remain vigilant to detect what elements might be triggering allergies in your dog, so that you can handle them promptly.

But perhaps one of the most inspirational would be that of Cody the Chubby Shiba Inu (although, hes definitely not chubby anymore). When Cody was adopted by his owners in 2014, he weighed an unbelievable 104 pounds. Ideally, a Shiba Inu of Codys size shouldnt have weighed more than 30 - 35 pounds. Cody was more than 50 pounds overweight.

  • Reason # 1 - The "Just Right" Shiba Inu Body. In terms of looks, one of the reasons Shiba Inus are so popular, and cute, is their "optimal" body size and proportions. They have a compact body that seems to have the curves at all the right places. They are not too large and unwieldy, yet not too small and scrawny.

Quick Intro to Shiba Inu. The Shiba Inu has a foxy, confident look, and they are intelligent. They have high energy levels, which means that these dogs need many exercises or become destructive. The breed can also be quite sensitive, so some people could say this is not the best dog for families with young children. However, other people may disagree because their temperament really depends on how much socialization it had and its puppyhood experiences.

Shiba owners warn that this glare is an expression of sadness or anger. Shiba owners also say that the glare is a dogs way of saying Im as cute as can be! Shiba inus were first bred as hunting dogs. So shibas are often described as having a lot of personality. Shiba inus have sensitive stomachs. They will usually only eat the same brand of dog food.
