Shiba Inu
They are charming, headstrong, confident, and among the dogs with the least health issues! Isn’t this great? The fox-like charm of the Shiba Inu makes them irresistible, and the best part is that they live long and have a good life.
These dogs are known for being very clean because they like to groom themselves just like cats do. You can often see them licking their paws and preening their fur to perfection.
Health-wise, Shibas are generally alright, and they can live up to 16 years. However, they’re not entirely free from hereditary concerns. Hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, and eye issues can sometimes occur. Touch, you don’t have to worry because most of these conditions are manageable, and vets can take good care of your pup without much effort.

I have had 2 mix bread dogs that I had adopted from the pound 1 was a Doberman/black lab mix and he lived to be over 17 years old and only had problems with his hips when he was in the twilight of his life and the other one a Rottweiler and black lab mix and he lived to be 17 years old as well and I had trained him to be my service dog and he was very smart and loved to learn and I have trained both of them with affection training because you don’t always have a treat on you all the time
I had a Lab/Doberman mix. Female, developed sugar diabetes when she got to be 6 years old. We found out that she had diabetes and when found out what the cost of taken care of her would be, which was quite costly we had her put to sleep. We really hated to do this but we figured was the humane thing to do.
Kenneth, you didn’t have to put it to sleep. You could’ve given her to someone or to a shelter would you did was the lazy person way out just haven’t put it to sleep. How would you feel if somebody didn’t want you anymore and that put him to sleep
