I just wanted to mention a particularly adorable shiba inu named Sushi. She's the featured cutie on The Daily Puppy.
Her bio: “She enjoys chasing bugs, laying in the grass, and taking long naps.” What a life, Sushi!
Don't tell Pops, but there was a time I considered adopting a shiba inu. Shibas are small (but not tiny) and remind me of the wolfish dog that lived across the street from my grandma in Japan. The dog would peek through the hedges and bark. (In retrospect, I'm not sure why I found that charming.)After doing some research, I found out that many shibas are bolters — as in, they run away when you open the door. Somehow I doubt I could find the humor in "Oh no, Shiba, where are you?"
So I'll just enjoy Pops' shiba inu impression. She's reluctant to do it, though — mostly because I squeal, “Shi-ba-eeee-nu!” while holding her ears straight up.
At least she's not a bolter.

Shibas are the best but they sure aren't for everyone. I have my entire yard fenced so that if they bolt they just make it to the yard.
I hope they don't bolt often! Do you have to walk them in harnesses? And does having more than one make them less likely to bolt? Kitsune doesn't look like he wants to run away....
