Shibas do not bark very much, instead preferring to emit terrible, nearly goat-like noise called a “shiba scream,” which has been described as “bloodcurdling” and like the “screams of the damned.”
Huh, I did not know this was a common Shiba thing. I got recommended a fun little dog channel called ‘The Adventures of Mandy and Major’ recently where I came across the “shiba scream”, but at the time I thought it was just a weirdly pitched howl-attempt by Major. I wouldn’t have thought it a breed trait (and in my rating, that would mostly be a negative).
Shibas have always been at the top for me in terms of looks though, one of the most beautiful dog breeds in the world.
Rating: ★★★ (Good)
Btw, can you somehow indicate that the rating is out of three stars, in these posts? I was wondering whether this was out of four stars or five, until I went back to the original post to check.
