The Shiba Inu Countess Wore Pale Blue Silk and Kept a Little Secret
The black and tan Shiba Inu looks out with a bright, fox-like face, tan eyebrows and perky upright ears. She wears a pale blue silk gown with ruffled sleeves, a soft pink lace collar around her neck and a lovely blue shawl with a gold edge draped over one shoulder. The background is a dim green drape with a hint of a column. Countess Sesame has a calm, lady-like expression, though a Shiba's eyes always seem to hold a bit of mischief, as if she has a secret about where the biscuits are kept.
Shiba Inus are a small Japanese breed known for their fox-like face and independent, spirited personality. They can be clean and quiet, and many are quite aloof with strangers but deeply attached to their family. They can also be stubborn, so early training and socialization help. A secure fence and a leash are important because many Shibas will bolt after something interesting. Their double coat sheds heavily twice a year, so regular brushing is helpful. Black and tan Shibas have lovely markings that look like little eyebrows. Ask your vet about exercise and diet to keep this sturdy little dog healthy.
A countess in pale blue silk needs very little other than a calm place to sit. The gown is soft, the lace is delicate, and the eyes keep their little secrets.
