The Shiba Princess Put On Three Strands of Pearls and Gave a Look
The princess has arrived with her very best collar. A black and tan Shiba Inu looks straight ahead, ears up and a faint, confident smile on her face. A wide lace ruff circles her neck like a frosted flower, and three long strands of pearls hang over a navy velvet gown stitched with delicate gold vines. Her warm dark eyes are bright and alert, with tiny tan eyebrow marks above them, and a single candle glows beside her in the shadows, lighting her little lace edges.
Shiba Inus are a small Japanese breed known for a bold, independent, cat-like personality. They tend to be clean, alert, and very attached to their own opinions, so patient, reward-based training works much better than pushing. They also need secure fences and a leash outdoors, since many have a strong urge to explore. Shibas shed a lot, especially twice a year, and regular brushing keeps things under control. Daily walks and a few mental games keep them happy. Your vet can help you plan the right care.
The lace here is painted so finely you can almost count the threads. Yet it is the princess's calm, knowing expression that holds the picture together. She looks like a dog who has already decided what she will and will not be doing this afternoon, and the answer is wearing pearls.
