Shiba Inu (Shiba Inu) has become a popular dog breed at home and abroad with its cute appearance and bright smile. Net celebrity Shiba Inu's cute daily life makes many people want to raise a Shiba Inu. But many owners realized that Shiba Inu is not easy to raise after raising Shiba Inu!
Before raising a dog, it is recommended to understand the shortcomings of Shiba Inu!
loves to shed hair-twice a year, once for half a year
Shiba Inu has double-layered hair, the surface hair is relatively hard, the inner hair is soft and dense. Dogs will grow dense fluff to keep warm in winter. When the weather becomes warm, in order to adapt to changes in temperature, these fluff will slowly fade away. Generally speaking, Shiba Inu has two seasonal moults. But from the data of AKC, Shiba Inu is shed more frequently. Many owners also said that in fact, Shiba Inu does not have a fixed period of hair loss, and it drops twice a year for half a year.
is a stubborn personality-strong independent thinking and action ability, but not necessarily listening to the owner's words
Shiba Inu is bred as a hunting dog, specially used to catch birds and small animals, so independent judgment and action ability is relatively strong. Compared with golden retrievers, poodles and other dogs who love to please their owners, Shiba Inu's stubbornness can easily be regarded as disobedient: you don't listen to you, and you don't do it! Especially when you accidentally break away from the traction rope outdoors, it is difficult to recall the Shiba Inu as it screams and runs. Shiba Inu's stubborn character requires the owner to find the right way to communicate with it and spend time patiently teaching.
Strong vigilance-unfriendly to strangers
Shiba Inu is more vigilant and will have reservations about strangers, unlike the golden retriever who will rush to greet enthusiastically. The Shiba Inu will first sniff the stranger, and then decide whether to play with the stranger based on the smell. If a Shiba Inu turns around after sniffing, it is not recommended that you chase it. The vigilant Shiba Inu will guard the territory, and it will bark to drive away neighbors passing by or guests entering the door. For the shortcoming of Shiba Inu, the owner needs to let him come into contact with various people and animals from an early age to socialize.
is prone to allergies-usually manifested as abnormal hair loss, constant scratching, skin diseases, etc.
Shiba Inu is a prone to allergic dog breed, usually after 6 months of age, manifested as abnormal hair loss, skin diseases, etc. If it keeps scratching and shed abnormal hair, it is recommended to take the dog to the hospital for examination. Common allergens are pollen, smoke, eggs, corn, beef and so on.
Generally speaking, although Shiba Inu is cute, its stubborn character is not suitable for novice owners. Novice owners want to raise Shiba Inu and need to spend more time and energy to teach them!
