Lichaam en bouw

Shiba Inu is a small dog with primitive background whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, moderate trainability, and a grooming load of 2/5.

The Shiba Inu is one of Japan's native spitz-type dogs, historically used for hunting in rough country. Its compact body, alertness, independence, and strong self-preservation make more sense when read as a primitive hunting heritage rather than a conventional obedience-breed profile.
