10:35:29 Void Malign I like to chunk my cull mares on CS |
10:34:55 Star / Sarah Rem, you posted that few hours ago ? |
10:34:32 San my whole show string consists of PPP+ mares and my studs show too, but my main income is from the girls. |

10:33:19 mav/maverick ill probably FR the fillies if theyre <EEP |
10:32:43 Buckeye! Mav, I show my mares but only keep mares if i plan on breeding them or offering broods. Geldings train faster, so the turnaround time for them to be back in the profits is faster, so in the long run they are more economical as a show army |
10:31:22 Ceci / (Call me) AL Because people usually spend a lot of money getting one and www's are on the top of the LBs making them valuable |
10:30:58 Tommy he/him mav depends on the horse but yeah Mares can be good |
10:30:34 Buckeye! I had to count my barns..was curious. Have 49 100 stall barns and 42 100 spot pastures, not counting the 3 100 spot memorial gardens |
10:29:46 Star / Sarah then why the heck are those so expensive?? |
10:29:16 Void Malign There's way, way more than 500 WWWs |
10:29:07 Lost Horse search only shows up to 500 horses, so there is probably lore |
10:28:51 Void Malign The horse search only goes up to 500 |
10:28:16 mav/maverick is it worth it to keep fillies/mares for showing or keep strictly to geldings? |
10:28:08 Buckeye! Willow, you are welcome. Sadly the crop fields are only good for crops, so going with hay pasture at first is more practical in my opinion |

Lol yes I made a want ad for you people. I am seriously debating on getting a shiba inu and want first hand accounts. I want to know things like Weird things they do How were they to train How well do they respect boundaries How well would a 30" puppy play pen crate attachment work? How's their energy levels Can their screaming be trained out of them if they're doing it because they're not getting something they want and can't have- not essential just curious Foods you guys recommend Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing your responses :)

I don't have a shiba inu (though I have had lots of other doggos) and I don't plan on getting one of those boogers. XD However, I wish you luck on your search for answers. ^^

Hiya, work with dogs professionally so here's what advice I can offer: They are super primitive, meaning they aren't gonna be super obedient and easy as a breed like a Golden or Labrador. They're stubborn, smart, independent and aloof. The best way I can describe them is a cat in a dog's body. They are not easy to train and you will find them hard to get to listen in most cases. Not sure how the attachment would work, probably fine. They need walks/exercise as they do have medium-high energy and will be destructive when bored. Shibas scream. Shibas grunt. Shibas do pretty much everything but bark. That's genetics and will also come down to the dog's personality. If it's a naturally loud dog, you won't be able to train the scream out of a Shiba. Good foods I'd recommend: Acana, Orijen, Fromm, Royal Canin, Victor, Taste of the Wild, and raw Foods to avoid: ANYTHING Purina (Dog Chow, Puppy Chow, Beneful, One, Bella, etc. The only good-ish one would be Pro Plan, but even then, it's not an amazing food in my opinion) Iams, Ol' Roy, Blue Buffalo, Gravy Train, Pedigree, Kibbles n Bits, Cesar, etc

As a Shiba owner I can only agree with Timber :) The energy level is high rather than medium. They need lots of exercise both physically and mentaly. You can train them in obedience with lots af patience. Just keep in mind: the dog will obey when he wants to, not because you want him to. If you introduce a Shiba into a family, rather than a single persons home, you need to realize the dog will pick his own owner, that will be his boss and that will be the only person who's going to be able to teach the dog (normally the dogs instincts are spot on and he'll pick the head of the household). The rest of the family will be his equals, and there is nothing you can do to change that. You'll probably never be able to walk your Shiba off leash. They are real hunting dogs and will chase anything they come across, even when you walk them with a leash. (My Shiba hunts and catches mices while walking on a short leash in a residential neighbourhood). They are hard to combine with other pets. Cats learn quickly to stay clear of the Shiba, a chicken or rabbit is just food for the dog. If you have a backyard: make sure the dog can't get out of it. Shiba's digg and climb. Don't expect your lawn to be perfect, when there is a mole or other ground dweller underneat, your Shiba will digg it out. Birds will not be able to nest in smaller sized bushes/trees around your yard, your Shiba wil plunder the nests. Even small insects are fair game. Other than that: They are very fun dogs to have, lots of playfull energy even at old age. Good luck

Fellow Shiba owner here, I agree with the other two. Be very careful about introducing them into a multiple-person household, as it's easy for them to choose someone else as their person if you're not careful. To avoid that with my girl, I actually had it planned out from the beginning that she wouldn't spend a lot of time around my dad and his dog for the first few months of her being a puppy. She did bond with them because she would spend a few hours a day hanging around them. I was paranoid of her choosing my dad over me, he's really great with dogs and they tend to favor him, but I think she did choose me eventually. She did end up being able to climb out of the puppy pen I had for her, it took her maybe two weeks before she figured it out. They are really strong as puppies for some reason?? As far as the yapping goes, I haven't personally had an issue with it. My Ginger does it when she is playing/being playful. She snaps her jaws and kinda yaps, but it's not obnoxious. The only time I have seen her be a stereotypical Shiba with the noise was when she has hurt herself. They can be very loud, from first-hand experience. I wouldn't recommend Shiba's as a first-time dog for someone with no prior experience with dogs. Mostly due to the fact that they are so independent and need time/patience to train. As far as leash training goes, Ginger was interesting when she was really young. She had stages where it felt like she was having teenage rebellion, if that makes sense. I stuck it out with her and made sure to keep on top of it, and she's turned into probably the best dog I'll ever own, no lie. She's great around wild animals while on a leash, she doesn't bark at anything or anyone, even when in the house. We walk past the local geese, ducks, and squirrels every day and she could care less about them. If you want a Shiba to be introduced to other animals/pets, start them young, like pet shops or puppy places. It's not impossible to train them to be around other animals, but you should start them young to avoid any issues. TLDR; Overall they're a fantastic breed for an experienced dog owner, be wary of their independence when you first get them. Barking will depend on the individual dog but be prepared for it just in case. A great breed, if you put in the time for them. Edited at November 16, 2021 07:39 AM by Riven Equine

I dont have Shiba's or much experience with them, however I do have some advice to offer about food. I found the BalanceIT website (where you make your own recipe for your dogs food), and they modify it based on weight. So you know exactly what you're giving your dog. (Word of caution, some of the foods they suggest are not good for dogs, so make sure you know what foods are good and what are bad). Im super fed up with store bought dog food, my dog has been losing weight with this, and there's a good amount of fillers despite it being some of the best food on the market. So he has a little more of this bag and then I'm switching to the recipe I made for him on BalanceIT . Also adding on to what the others said, walking and exercise is essential everyday, and past the puppy stage I dont recommend crates. I took care of a puppy for awhile, and the crate was useful at night because we couldn't supervise him and we didn't want him getting into stuff, however having the crate as a permanent routine/solution I dont agree with. . Anyways, good luck, and I hope you find the right dog for you :)
