This is Shiba Inu.
Shiba Inu, a relatively independent dog, is usually very alert, alert and alert. Sometimes I will keep my distance from others and be indifferent to myself. Kind of like a weakened cat owner. Agile, good at running, strong endurance. But it is also very loyal and docile, attentive, lively and friendly, but a little naughty, which will amuse the host. It's semi-active, and it will only be reflected when you need it.
Generally speaking, Akita looks like a bear, while Shiba Inu looks like Akita.
