    My apartment only allows pets up to 25 pounds and I HATE it SO much. I really want a dog but that’s so limiting… I don’t want a Chihuahua or a tiny curly haired yappy little Shih Tzu. I’m allergic to cats too otherwise I would totally do that :(

        They’re a great size, but they are pricey and if you want a good breeder then you’ll be on a wait list.

        I’ll also throw a little caution, though, as a shiba can be very…stubborn. You have to be patient with them. I have two (our previous one passed away of old age) and they all have very very different personalities. One is definitely high energy and the other loafs around a lot.

        My point is, they’re a great dog breed but they can also require a lot of work with (positive) training and energy needs. Even after training - they are still stubborn and drama queens.
