The Shiba Inu can easily be mistaken for a fox if seen on the run, but his tail curls up over his back. He is agile, fast, fearless, and independent. He is confident yet kind. The Shiba Inu does not bark much. The Shiba Inu can be aloof with strangers, but does well with children in his own family. The Japanese Shiba Inu has an affectionate and loving personality. He is trainable and bonds tightly with his handler. He needs to be well socialized as a puppy. Shiba Inus cannot be trusted with small pets that are rodents or small birds, but they are okay with cats and other dogs if raised with them. They are good travelers, but never fully reliable off-leash. A securely fenced yard is a must with Shiba Inus.
