Everyone knows that dogs are good partners of humans. With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, more and more families are starting to keep pets, including the Shiba Inu breed. So how to choose a cute and excellent Shiba Inu? Follow the editor to find out.
1. Look at the pedigree: As the saying goes, "a tiger father has no dog son", the pedigree of a young firewood is the most worthy of our attention. According to the laws of genetics, the greatest influence on Youchai is undoubtedly Youchai’s parents. If conditions permit, it is also necessary to refer to grandparents. So be sure to choose a reliable kennel.
2. Look at the body shape: Judging from the puppy's body and stance, it is required to be overall symmetrical, with shoulders, forelimbs and chest firm and powerful. Touch your back with your hands, pinch your limbs, your back will be straight and strong, and your limbs will have sufficient bone mass.
3. Look at the mouth: The mouth shape of a puppy should be flat, like a duck's mouth. This mouth shape will become beautiful when it grows up (this mouth shape refers to a puppy that is more than two months old, because the mouth shape of a puppy will change when it is more than three months old).
4. Look at the eyes: The eyes of the Shiba Inu are not as round as possible, but are triangles slanting upward, and the position is deeper, a bit sloping toward the outside of the roots of the ears. Moreover, the color of the Shiba Inu’s eyes is dark brown, and the color of the eye rims is dark black. The eyes should not be too large or protruding. They should match the head and the distance between the eyes should not be too wide.
5. Look at the nose: The nose should be small and dark, and the distance between the nose and the forehead should be deep. This way, when you grow up, you will be beautiful and look more powerful and capable.
6. Look at the ears: The Shiba Inu's ears should be triangular in shape, with the ears tilted forward at 60 degrees. The smaller the attached ears, the better. The tucked-up look should be proportional to the proportions of the head and body. The distance between the ears should not be too wide or too narrow.
7. Look at the paw pads: The paw pads should be dark and shiny. The darker the paw pads, the better its ability to express pigments. Touch it with your hands. If the paw pads are very elastic, it means that the baby is in good health.
8. Look at the skin: If you peel off the fur of a young firewood and the exposed skin is white, it means its skin is healthy. If the exposed skin is pink, it means that she may have skin allergies. Even if the female dog looks healthy, you should also pay attention to the fur of the puppies. Puppies with healthy fur will reduce a lot of trouble in future breeding.
