uh just to let you know, i have a dog already and im looking for a new one, Shiba Inus and Japanese Akitas are the type i want because they are the way they are.

DO NOT go to Kijiji, Hoobly, Puppyfind (not to be confused with the wonderful Petfinder) or any other classified ad site. NEVER, EVER buy from a pet store; regardless of their claims, all their dogs are from puppy mills. You will be contributing to animal cruelty by buying from them.

Also, consider adopting an adult dog! They are often overlooked and often euthanized, even if they have been housebroken and are easier to take care of. Here are the many benefits of adopting an adult dog

I already have a dog, 1 bird, 1 treefrog, and two guinea pigs. I really want a Shiba Inu. The charecteristics fit our house perfectly. How can I get my mom to let me get one?

Thanks for Answering!

Point out all of the good things about this breed. Most are short hair, all dogs are friendly… stuff like that. Also, you can let her help pick the dog out so that it is calm, and won't jump all over your other pets..

Hope this helps!

Plead to your mother that you really want this shiba inu.

How much does shiba inu's puppy usually cost from a pet store in New York?

How much does shiba inu's puppy usually cost from a breeder in New York?

For a purebred pet quality Shiba you can expect to spend $400-$800 if you are looking for a show quality dog you can expect to spend $600-$1200. I would suggest finding a reputable breeder because pet store puppies are usually from puppy mills and end up with health problems. Make sure you work with a breeder that offers health guarantees and has tested the parents for loose patellas, that is also the first thing that you want to have checked at the vet, as it is one of the main genetic issues in this breed.

Good luck! Shibas are wonderful dogs! I couldn't ask for more from my Shiba

I've been looking on the internet for a shiba inu pup,but they're all so very far away.

There are quite a bit of Shiba Inus in California shelters. Maybe there is one in the city that you live in.
