Shiba Inu Facts

As I've noticed that Pepper took more of her personality from the Shiba Inu, I will give a couple of facts about the breed:

Shibas are one of the oldest Japanese breeds, and one of the smallest. They are highly intelligent dogs.
They are very clean, almost cat-like, and are often known to avoid puddles.
Shibas are often very quiet, but are always very cautious and alert.
They are very loyal to their handler and will adapt to his/her situation (apartment, house, etc.); however, like all dogs, they require regular exercise and (especially because they are so stubborn) discipline.
Shibas were bred to hunt small game, birds, and contrary to their small size, flush out bears and boars. They are super fast! Pepper loves to chase anything that runs fast, flies fast, and even slithers (with great caution, of course)!
