The Complete Guide to the Shiba Inu: Selecting, Preparing for, Training, Feeding, Raising, and Loving Your New Shiba Inu

The Shiba Inu was made a Japanese national treasure during the 1930s, and for very good reasons. With a fox like appearance, this breed is also the most easily recognizable of the six dog breeds indigenous to Japan. These adorable little dogs are full of energy and intellect that will keep you both entertained and on your toes. Don't let their adorable appearance fool you though - they will certainly use it to their advantage if you let them. Notorious escape artists and unapologetic alpha canines, a Shiba Inu can quickly learn to dominate your home if you aren't ready to lay down the law from day one. This is a breed that has become so accustomed to being a companion to humans that their activity levels can be adjusted to meet your own. While it is important to always make sure your Shiba Inu gets adequate exercise, this is not terribly difficult to do because of their size. Weighing between 17 and 23 pounds, a few medium length walks every day or a couple of active sessions of playing is all they really need a day. However, if you are active, your Shiba Inu will be more than happy to join you when you hike, kayak, or explore new areas. They love to have new experiences, but they are just as contented to curl up next to you on the couch.Despite a couple of millennia as human companions, this is a breed that is surprisingly healthy. They have an average life expectancy of between 12 and 16 years, so bringing one of these little guys into your home is likely to give you a long-term companion that can entertain you, and may demand a bit of entertainment in return. It is hard to imagine that these sturdy, affectionate dogs were once on the brink of extinction. Over the last 60 years, they have become an extremely popular breed because of the combination of easy care, adorable appearance, and charming personality.

Be prepared to take on the challenges of owning a Boston Terrier by learning about: Picking the right Boston Terrier for your family and home Preparing to bring your BT home Boston Terrier health and wellness Integrating your new BT with your current pets Housetraining Boston Terrier socialization Training Nutrition Grooming Genetic health concerns common to Boston Terriers Caring for an aging Boston Terrier\nGenerally considered a fantastic dog for first time dog families, the Boston Terrier has an incredibly friendly personality that makes him a great addition to any home. Socialization is fairly easy because the breed is naturally friendly. Training may be a bit more difficult, particularly housetraining, so do be prepared to put in a lot of extra patience and some extra time to get your puppy to the point where accidents become a thing of the past. 
They adore their people, though some are prone to choosing one favorite person, and it will be obvious as they will become like a shadow to their favorite person. This is also a breed that has a wide range of personalities, with some being bouncy and fun, while others are more dignified and mellow.

They are also prone to bother allergies and stomach sensitivities, so you will need to be careful about what you feed your dog and how much the environment affects your pup. Most of the ailments are not life-threatening – they have a life expectancy between 13 and 15 years. They are also incredibly easy to groom with their short-haired coats.\nIf you are considering bringing a Boston Terrier into your home (or already have!) then you need to read this book as soon as possible!
