The study also found that 59% of people said they liked their dog more than anyone else in their household (including spouses). The theory behind shiba inu's status as the "luxury dog of Japan" is attributed to its unique appearance and historical utility.
Shiba Inu are shaggy dogs with thick, stiff fur that most people think resembles a fox. Because they have so much fur, shiba inus shed their undercoats regularly - often twice a year. This constant shedding means they have to be brushed regularly to avoid matting, which will become painful if they form too tightly around their armpits or elbows. Their shaggy coats work well for them in winter but they require extensive grooming when the weather warms up to remove excess hair from their undercoats.

People with shiba in puppies fall into two categories: shiba inu owners and shiba inu lovers. The shiba breed is a unique one in many ways - it's the only native Japanese dog breed and they have a rich, ancient history that has been recorded from as early as 713 BC when shibas were presented to the Emperor.
In the words of singer-songwriter Junko Matsuzaka, “Shibas are beautiful because they always retain their wild nature no matter how much time passes.” In fact, shibas aren't even called shiba inus until after coloration becomes apparent at around 4 months old which makes them look like large mame (bean) shiba inu puppies .
For people who live near zoos or in areas where shiba inus are not native, the shiba inu is an attractive breed because they are small dogs. Even when shiba inus are not allowed to live inside the house due to eager obedience by owners, shiba inu dog can be kept indoors during cold weathers for enjoyment. They fit very easily into apartments and similar living conditions, but will also make good family dogs if given appropriate exercise.
