Good after the first 6months. Your puppy can't hold it's bladder for that long. It will be absolute torture for her because she does not want to pee in the place where she sleeps.
We use to keep her in the kennel for 8 hours when we went to work. When she got older and we knew that she wouldn't destroy stuff we just let her out on her own. Most of the time she just sleeps when we arent home.
Also one of the best things about owning a shiba is watching them do the Shiba 500.
They just absolutely fly around the house doing laps and circles around everything. I'm still trying to figure out how she doesn't smash her head into the coffee table, couches, chair legs or table legs. I want to cut off her whiskers to see if thats why but my wife won't let me. hehe
