Help, save, whatever.

Maybe!
I'm in China and saw these two. I've been planning on getting a dog for a while now...have everything ready in the house.
Anyways, when I asked the guy the breed in Chinese I couldn't figure it out. But he said it wouldn't get too big, but I didn't believe him because I thought it was a German Shepard.
If it is a Shiba Inu that could make sense and he wasn't lying.

Ok mission accomplished! Google translate says Shiba Inu is 柴犬 (chaiquan) in Chinese. That is definitely what the guy said.
Thanks for all the help guys!
This is why I tolerate all of your horrible hockey opinions!

Shiba Inu is a Japanese breed. I have owned one for 13 years so can tell you anything you need to know. Ask away.

I saw online they shed quite a bit? Is it true? Are they good with kids?
I really want one now. They seem to have awesome personalities. The two pups I saw were amazing. Really playful and sweet.

All the Shiba's I know have been stubborn a$$holes with attitude.

Mine sheds a couple times a year but other than that hardly any. I also have a lab that sheds undercoat constantly but never see Shiba hair other than when it is time and it is always in small chunks.
They are and can be a temperamental and phys-co dogs, They tend to have their own mind and don't listen that well though I know a few others that are better than most.
You need lots of patience and make sure you give them lots of walks. They can also be friendly and cuddly or want to tear apart anybody or anything no matter the size. A big dog inside the little one. I think if it started its life with kids it probably would be used to them but in my case we don't have kids and the yelling and screaming just makes her run away from them.
Make sure you do your homework as they are probably one of the most difficult dogs to own and I hear many don't keep them due to that.
They are really a mini Akita and can be aggressive and are rodent killers as well. Anything small comes through the yard or along our walks is as good as dead. Never need a mouse hunting cat with a Shiba as she controls them well. She came in from the yard yesterday with her chest covered in something red and we still haven't figured out what got taken out but was obviously something that got killed and the evidence got eaten by one of the 2 dogs.

My brother had one. I thought he was pretty neat. While they are a nice looking dog they are maybe not the best dog for a first time owner as they can be challenging. You need to invest time into a dog like this so if you have a busy family you may want to look for an easier breed to own.

Yeah, my old boss had one. He had 3 dogs - a bouvier, shepherd cross and a shiba inu. The shiba was the only one that he couldn't bring to the office because it was like a wild animal. Not necessarily vicious, but very aloof, wiry and really poor recall. It was kind of what I would picture a wild fox to be like if you let it go inside a building.
The other two dogs were perfectly trained and adjusted.
Greyhounds are great around kids if you want a really kid friendly dog. Not the greatest recall or attention span, but really mellow and gentle. They don't really even jump on people or bark a lot ether.

Yeah my buddy has two and your assessment is pretty bang on.
I think he has some sort of fetish about being treated like crap.

Tell me about it. I have a Basenji which may be even more challenging than a Shiba Inu. He gets a lot of attention from strangers but I always have to caution them that while he's a fantastic looking dog he's also a big handful. If I could re-name him I would call him Newman after the Seinfeld character as he's really adept at pushing your buttons and every time he gets into trouble I could mutter; "NEWMAN!".

Ok, probably will be staying away from this dog then.
I love the way it looks, but since my wife has zero interest in having a dog it's probably a bad idea to choose such a prick/difficult breed.
I was looking online and the stories about this breed are amazing. One guy says his Shiba Inu just decided to be afraid of socks for a month.
Another says his one day started to sleep on its back on top of the sofa. Like a cat would do. A lot of people compare them to cats.

I don't know if this makes a difference or not, I just think it's interesting how people tend to gravitate to certain breeds...

Poodles are pretty cool dogs too. Smart little guys.
