My Shiba crossed the bridge two years ago at age fifteen.

There are not many dog breeds that are more difficult and there are not many dog breeds that are more rewarding.

I still miss him daily.

Disclaimer: While he did happen to be a purebred Shiba Inu, I got him at the SPCA and didn't know shibas were even a thing at the time. I only learned that at the first vet visit.

What's so difficult about the breed? I know nothing about them.

They’re a stubborn breed to train and have a generally high flight instinct so they love to run out the door without the leash.

So basically a cat that can't climb trees?
