They must be given proper socialization and obedience training courses. However, they do need daily walks which can, if you let them, last for several hours since they have great endurance.
Shiba Inus are undemanding and adaptable. The Japanese define them as being brave and bold, having good composure and mental strength, good natured with a gentle disposition, and having a refined and open spirit. In general, they have been described as being fearless, faithful, alert, charming and confident. Two such dogs because of their extreme old age: near Tokyo, “Pusuke” lived to be 26.5 years old and in Louisiana, “Max” lived to be 29.75 years old, just shy of 30 years which no dog (of any breed) is known to have reached. They can be expected to live twelve to fifteen years. However, eye tests should be conducted on an annual basis. If they do not exhibit any weakness in their joints by the time that they are two years old then it is unlikely that they will develop joint problems later in life. However, they are subject to progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), glaucoma, cataracts, hip dysplasia, floating kneecap (or “trick knee”) and allergies. They are considered to be a healthy breed of dogs. It was recognized as a formal breed by the American Kennel Club in 1992 and has since become somewhat popular, even appearing on the Doge Internet meme in mid-2013. In 1954, the first Shiba came to the United States, and the first purebred litter was born there in 1979. They were then re-bred from the three remaining bloodlines the Shinshu Shiba from the Nagano Prefecture (and who were red, small and having a solid undercoat) the Mino Shiba from the Gufu Prefecture (and who had thick, prick ears and a sickle tail, as opposed to the more common curled tail) and the San’in Shiba from the Tottori and Shimane Prefectures (and who were often black and larger). This led them to become almost extinct during and after World War II. For virtually all of that time, they were found only in Japan.
The Shiba Inu have been around for almost 2,300 years, according to recent DNA analysis.
