From Susan — He Knows He’s Cute…Don’t Encourage Him!

Filed under: Updates — lv2knit @ 7:55 am

We are co-parenting our daughter’s Shiba Inu, Yuki. Shibas are described perfectly in this article: more cat than dog, smart, and “independent” (read: he’s a stinker).  Too cute for his own good and totally aware of the effect he has on humans.


Yuki Loves his Care Bears!

PS – In answer to your questions, Yuki is fully grown and will not change color.  He is creamy all over except for the back of his legs and his ears.  Most Shibas are stockier than Yuki and a darker gold.

His tail “unfurls” when he relaxes and the recoil process is a sight to behold…that thing has a life of its own!  He is a tiny bit chubbier right now because John shares bagels with Yuki and Molly (our yellow lab) every morning.

They love their bagels with Daddy.  I know.  Bad for dogs!

  1. Wow, what a gorgeous dog. My first thought/question when I went to the linked site was whether his coat will darken as he gets older and will he look like the dog on that site?

  2. He’s so very cute! My first thought was, either that’s a really small dog or a giant Care Bear!

  3. We saw Shibas all over Japan when we were there on vacation. There were other breeds too, but ALL were pampered and well-loved. Too spoiled….many were either carried (not just the small dogs) or wheeled around in doggy prams.

  4. You could do a calendar with both of those dogs. I bet it would sell!
