[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SHIBA INU....... Worst dogs ever, they're all assholes!   Terrible personalities.[/quote]

Wait, Shiba inu is on my short list. I've been planning on adopting one. Can you describe the problems with their personalities?[/quote]

I'm the PP that loves my shiba. They are really good dogs but their personalities are like cats. They don't really want to snuggle or be pet unless it is their idea. They also clean themselves like cats which in my opinion is a good thing because he's always clean and NEVER has potty accidents. Strong prey drive so you can't really do the off leash thing. Very loyal to the pack/territorial.[/quote]

Thanks for this response! I didn't know that about the prey drive, but can live with it. [/quote]
Aw, but why would you want a dog that doesn't cuddle?  That's the whole point of dogs! :)  I love the look of Shibas, but I'd be crushed if my dog regularly shunned me.[/quote]

well, they've very intelligent, sensitive, loyal dogs. and they really are affectionate, just on their own terms.[/quote][b]

OP about the Shiba Inu...  This dog is very loved and well cared for, but she is the unfriendliest animal on the planet!  She is worse than a cat.  This breed is also well known for skin problems and allergies, I have spent THOUSANDS on her skin problems at the vet and dermatologist.  Also terrible with kids...  AVOID!!  Next dog I'm getting a poodle.

My shiba has had zero skin problems so far and is great with kids.[/quote]

+1.  Mine is absolutely amazing with kids.  We routinely let him play with our friends children- it is the cutest thing ever to watch him.  He is so very gentle (especially if they are trying to give him a treat) He is very cautious.  He is a great dog, but you have to do submissive training with the breed from a young age (essentially put him on your lap for at least 30 minutes on their back).  The first week or two they will struggle.  After that, once they develop a trust, they will be the best cuddle dog EVER.  Our dog loves to snuggle.  Best dog ever- with the right training.[/quote]
