I have an almost 3 year old fertile Shiba inu. She is small for her age, but has a huge heart!! She is amazing around children, other dogs, and even cats! She loves to play fetch, play with other dogs and kids. She's very active and loves going on long hikes. She doesn't like swimming, but I've been trying to get her acclimated to water. She's a huge cuddle bug! Protective of her humans. She would be an amazing mommy to a litter of pups!!
