The Shiba Inu is the medium-sized and oldest Japanese dog. The Shiba's ability to tackle steep hills and mountain slopes and its keen senses have made the Shiba an excellent hunting dog time and again. Shiba Inu is lively and active. I will play with my favorite toys all day long. It is extremely alert to the outside world and can guard the house for the head of the household. It's especially good against its larger counterparts, and won't give up. Mice and birds in the grass will be its prey and toys. Shiba Inu is a national treasure of Japan, and the price of common red Shiba Inu is between 6,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan.
Originally produced in Japan, it is an ancient breed. It has been raised and cultivated for a long time to develop a loyal, obedient, and patient nature. The Shiba Inu is highly alert, and is used to standing on high ground and watching downwards. It has an alert, independent personality, a strong body, quick movements, and a color like firewood. It was mainly trained by humans to hunt small animals in the past. It is a good hunter in the deep mountains and forests, so it is called Shiba Inu. Compared with the Japanese Akita Inu, the appearance of the Shiba Inu seems to be a smaller version of it. In Japan, the Shiba Inu is designated as a "natural monument" by the government.
The Shiba Inu is docile, loyal, obedient, patient, simple and elegant, agile and alert, heroic and daring, kind and affectionate, and these characteristics combine to produce a unique nature. Reserving towards strangers, but loyal and loving towards those whom it respects. Sometimes aggressive to other dogs. The outer coat is stiff and erect, while the undercoat is soft and thick. Hair on ears, legs, face and face should be short and even. On the shoulder blades the outer coat is erect, about 3.8 to 5.1 cm long. The hair on the tail is slightly longer than here and spread out like a brush. All colors are clear and intense, with a cream, buff or gray undercoat.
How to recognize safe toys?
- Look for certificates on the packaging (the most important of them are CE (Conformité Européenne), Certificate of the Institute of Mother and Child, Certificate of the National Institute of Hygiene, German TÜV Rheinland and Dekra) and they must also meet the European standard EN 71.
- Check the workmanship: are the seams straight and strong? Does the toy have small parts that can break or get lost easily? Does it have sharp edges? Can a child catch or get stuck in any of the components?
- Choose stuffed animals that can be washed, and the paints used in them must be safe for babies, because they often end up in the child's mouth.
- For items for children under 3 years of age, carefully check the size of the item to avoid accidental swallowing by the toddler. This applies to all elements of the toy.
