I like the way shiba's look and that they are medium dogs. They feel so awesome. But yes like i said I don't know much about them. After readying the post my peers put down. I changed my mind. I love German Shepherds. I might just want to go with a shepherd. I know alot about them, and they are good with kids. As long as they are trained. I could go to the shelters to look for one they probably have pups there. They are really popular here in Maine.
