@@sixteezchild i made that remark a year ago. Soon after that we got a new shiba, a male. It is a very sweet boy, very loyal and social. But it’s a handful. Walking off leash is impossible, he’s is much too wild and he almost doesn’t listen. He is also very strong and dominant with other dogs. The female was much easier to handle, she was calm and thoughtful. Keep this in mind when you buy a shiba. As a breed they are a bit different, both male and female. I love it, but some don’t. So I would watch a lot of videos first to get the idea. I hope you find the right dog for you!

I will always have a soft spot for the akita inu. They are basically samurai in dog form, regal and stoic. I remember back when I attended art school, one of our life drawing models had a rescued akita inu that would pose with her. It was cutest thing. He wasn't fond of pats from strangers (although let me pat him after getting to know him), he always took the time to look around the room and inspect our work. He was good boy.

Mispronunciation of "Inu" aside, the information given of the two is quite accurate. I cannot stress enough that these breeds are NOT for first time casual dog owners. The breed is so intelligent and in tune to humans, they will walk all over the aloof owner. Proper and consistent training and early socialization is a must! Along with their smartness, they also have a high prey drive and unlimited energy level. The Akita Inu's look may seem passive but they are always on alert with being territorial and can strike in a blink. An untrained and unrestrained Shiba Inu can get away from you very quickly and with that high prey drive, can be blind to harmful surroundings while chasing prey, i.e., streets and deep waters. Nice job!

So many dogs share similar traits that one may say these descriptions sound like many other dogs. Indeed they are so i would like to add what seems to be unique to shiba from my experience. 1. Quirky. They have a busy mind and will pursue things to entertain themselves, often regardless of if you are around or not. 2. Love their toys and problem solving activities. 3. Trainable but can lose interest and have time limits. 4. Need a purpose for doing things. If it just to amuse you, they won't. They must choose if the activity has merit. 5. Love their house, often more than outside. 6. Respond extremely poorly to discipline. Tug on the lease and the shiba will lay down. You may have to carry him home. 7. Quite affectionate but also introspective and fine with their own mind. 8. Highly inquisitive, like a cat. Everything will be investigated in the house. 9. Good apartment dogs but they need their toys. Anything can be a toy, a towel, a sock, a plastic coke bottle. 10. Respectful of your space. They wont wake you up. 11. Maybe courageous at times but also crybabies. They have dainty feet and use them similar to a cat. I think they fine for first time owners if you want a slightly different dog. If you want a slathering fetch dog, not the right dog. As with most dogs get them young so you can learn their personality. They are clean, handsome, elegant, not noisy and not bad beggars for human food. compliant with grooming, nail clipping and toothbrushing. Sporty people may not find this breed to their liking. In asia they call them cat dogs. I have not seen separation anxiety. They can be fine alone.

I think an important thing that was missed is that the Japanese Akita rarely barks or makes normal loud doggy noises. They are the quietest dogs I've ever seen or dealt with. I have no idea if this translates over to their American counterpart though, since German Shepherd are quite vocal.

I’m Japanese. Majority of Japanese people actually think the same way as Dirk-san wrote above. But, believe it or not, the formal names of Shiba-ken and Akita-ken are Shiba-inu and Akita-inu respectively. And more surprisingly, other dogs are called -ken such as Kishu-ken, Kai-ken etc as the lady in this video pronounces. The reason is that 柴(shiba) and 秋田(Akita) are pronounced in kun’yomi which is Japanese original pronunciation (Yamato kotoba) so the following word, in this case 犬, is also pronounced in the same way, while Kishu, Kai and others are pronounced in on’yomi whis is Chinese-ish way of pronunciation. If the fomer word is pronounced in kun’yomi the latter word 犬 is also pronounced in kun’yomi as “inu” (not inyu btw), and the former word is in on’yomi the latter 犬 is also in on’yomi as “ken”. 1. kun’yomi + kun’yomi 2. on’yomi + on’yomi That being said, this rule is not 100% followed. There’re actually many exceptional words like kun + on or on + kun. 😅

One is a total loner, doesn’t like other dogs and people and doesn’t like to be petted but has a very calm personality. The other one is the total opposite. Very outgoing to other dogs and every person he mets and sometimes likes to be petted. But both definitely more like a cat then a dog 😅. Once settled in a family, they are very loving and loyal.

I currently own a GSD both breeds are very intelligent and easy to house break. The GSD has way more energy and easier to train. Akitas will learn but sometimes it's on their schedule not yours.

Shiba it is💗 Love the lil foxy face. I’m more into big dogs but if I had to pick, the shiba is the cutie pie💗(agressive breeds make me anxious-I don’t wanna worry about them eating someone’s pet while walking..life is stressful enuff😂)

Thanks for this beautiful video Anneka! Are both beautiful dogs but the American akita it's wonderful 👍👍👍💪💪🙌💙🐺

I would love to see a video or a series of videos on the other, less well known Japanese breeds.

I love the film Hachiko - A Dog's Tale, the Akita that waited at the train station for its owner everyday after he died

That movie wrecked me. I cried so hard, that I threw up. I can never watch it again, as it upset me so much. I was so mad at his wife for not taking him home and keeping him safe .

Did you know they got a shiba inu to play Hachiko in some scenes when they were depicting him as a puppy? Can you spot it?

That disclaimer in the beginning is depressing. Anneka never gives out wrong advice. She seems more professional like than any Animal Care worker I know.

It's a smart precaution in a litigious world. I agree with you in that it shouldn't be necessary, but this is the internet and no one is perfect.

This chick ain't gonna get old ... Hoping to see soon more videos for the Blue Bays please

I love your videos

I love my American Akita, by far the best, most loyal & protective baby I've ever owned. My best friend ❤😊

The two pictures at 9:26 are good examples to tell the face of Akita Inu from that of Shiba Inu. Akita has a more round face than Shiba, has a shorter distance between the eyes than Shiba, and has less pointed ears than Shiba.

I had a Shiba mixed with Chow. She was fantastic. She was smart. She new good people from the bad ones. I miss her a lot.

I knew an Akita she was the most gentle beautiful loving dog.

No one: Literally no one: Anneka: Today we are comparing the Akita _in you_ with the Shiba _in you_ .

Thankyou! First thing that I couldn't help but notice and get annoyed by. It's more like ee-nu not 'in you'.

We all have a Shiba in all of us!

Nice video we love it💗💗🐶🐶🌸🌸

I like this Chanel so much 😊

I know an Akita, Luna, and whe is the most gentle and kind dog I have ever seen.

It was hard to train my shiba to walk without the leash and listen to me even when lizards run around us. But now I have my own obedient mini wolf. 🥰

I had a Shiba when I was growing up named Banzai. He was good dog, always looking out for his family unit.

Good to see you!

I love my Shiba, he’s a good boy. :)

I love both breeds, their so beautiful! The one I had was extremely strong, me and my mom were always worried that he would accidentally send our furniture through a wall whenever he got excited and would run then jump on to them 🤣 Also am I the only one not bothered by how she pronounces inu? If you have an accent your going to pronounce something differently especially if it's a foreign language plus we sometimes mispronounce words in our own language, unless your a huge perfectionist and try to make sure you never do it.

I watch a popular yourtuber called ScammerRevolts who has a picture of his dog on their screen's when he deletes the scammers files. I've always wondered what breed of dog it was and finally found it on this video. Great video Anneka. God bless you 😊

I have two akitas. I bought them when they were newborns from Kenyama Kennels. They are now 11 years old. They get along fine with my yellow lab guide dog.

"Try an guess from these photos " Me who can separately tell the two dogs easily...😎

Absolutely beautiful, the dogs are nice aswell!

I came across your video of the Caucasian had to subscribe to your channel very informative keep up the good work. I think I was on the channel raccoon whisperer I live in the great North and I like all these nature channels 😎🇺🇸 although you keep melting my igloos LOL

You should definitely do a video on Vietnam's national dog, the Phu Quoc Ridgeback. They're pretty rare outside of Vietnam, but I think there's a litter in the UK.

Could you make a video on the best off leash dogs?

I would love to have a shiba. But akita’s are not aggressive, they are just dominant. A shiba can be off leash, you need to train them to choose you every single time in any situation. They are not for everyone, most people want a dog because they are going for looks.. We even pick our dogs because of their looks. Rather look into a breed, what does he need? Is his energy compatible with yours? Can you fit into HIS lifestyle? I hope people will think about this a lot.

They are awesome beautiful breed thanks for letting us know about them amazing colors of their fur just marvelous just marvelous

For the love of Dog, it's not "in you" but "e-noo". I don't care to correct people in general, but she took time to correct the "inu dog" tautology.

it’s her accent honey. I had a shiba inu for 15 years- no one cares how you say inu

Who gives a 💩, you obviously understood what she was referring to. Make your own videos then or stop complaining/criticizing those that are putting forth informational videos that you aren't.🤦🏻‍♂️

The main difference is the the redness in akita inu's face doesn't go down the forehead, whereas in Shiba inu's case,it reaches to the nose.

Thank you so much for this video. Much better explaining about akitas than the first video you made. I just hoped you had separated them at first. This video is an improvement! Thank you!

The first key point to look for is the face mask. Red coat Shibas often have at least a spot of colour over and underneath their eyes and on their upper muzzle, whereas the Akita Inu's face is completely white, except for their black noses (another thing that sets them apart from the American). Their expressions are a big key point, especially for older Akitas who tend to get a sort of sad look. Shibas always look lively. The fur of the Akita looks fluffier and they have a more bear-like build than the foxy Shiba.

I, as a Japanese, can't take it seriously if you keep calling inu inyu x)))
