Nice! Shibas also look really cute, so I honestly get your choice. We also considered one, but are first-time dog owners so we went with a Japanese Spitz instead, but I think my boyfriend is still hoping for us to get a Shiba one day.

Thankfully I do
I've been around dogs nearly all my life. Shiba is a breed we've always wanted.
I've also raised a few puppies in my time to elderly who have now passed over also. Claire's never owned a dog herself but often helped me when I was at my parents still but we're taking the time to do as much research as possible into the breed before we fully commit to it.
Oh nice! I hope it goes well, and that it's easy to get on a waiting list for a pup!Thankfully I do
