Preliminary dog research

OMG no. I really disagree. Shiba Inu can be very aggressive if not socialized and well trained - that goes for the well bred ones too if they aren’t handled right. This is a terrible dog to leave alone outside. Just because they are more aloof, doesn’t mean they don’t want to be part of the pack. Mine is sleeping next to me right now. You got it with the stubborn and hardheaded. This is a very primitive breed (like Chows!) that needs dedicated training to become a solid citizen.
I say this as a long time Shiba owner, please do not get a Shiba.
