Description i do them no justice ;^;

i had a hard time figuring out how to color the sesame, since their hair isn't just brown in some areas, some of the red hairs are dark brown-tipped. it'd be easy if i wasn't doing just flats, so i settled with this. if you don't like it, whatever- don't tell me.

these are just four examples of the shiba colors, all of the above can be a different hue, with more white, or less. with these, i tried sticking to the standard markings, especially with the b&t since that and the cream/buff colors are my favorite. i hope to get a b&t one day X3 anyway, this was mainly an experiment because i'm planning on making a picture Mellie's littermates all together. i'm designing two girl shiba inu characters right now, a r/w and a chocolate toned b/t. :3

but thats for another time.


btw, if anyone's wondering the fonts are from dafont.com, as always :3

you know, i don't see them very often. they must be a hard color to produce, since it can't have a heavy saddle coloring or too much black in some areas.

Cute picture and nice to have the different colours.

Sesame is a tricky one. I never get the same answer about them from two different people. I've got a sesame lady myself, and a young lad who might end up either red or sesame in the end.

Shibas are extraordinary dogs. Sadly, a lot of people seem to think that just because the dog is small, it doesn't need exercise. If I don't let my youngling run off some energy every day, it's a recipe for disaster.

They may be cute to look at, but they have a strong spirit and a big personality, and they are intelligent enough to create big trouble if they're not properly taken care of.

thank you, sorry i'm replying MONTHS later ;n;
i really love the sesame coat in shibas as well. They are balls of energy, i see them in shelters and rescues all the time unfortunately i guess people don't realize how strong and different a dog the shiba is.

Aw, this is wonderful!
Black and Tans are so underrated!
I happen to own one .
Not a dog for everyone, so do homework!
Nothing is more sad than an overweight shiba.

Oh, you can see the wiseness in their eyes, so cute!
I think cream is on official colour but breeders are not allowed to breed with it or something (at least here in Holland) but onofficially you have pinto shiba's as well. It's just an amazing breed (I have a red shiba myself)

do you walk her everyday? like 30 minute-hour walks around your neighborhood?
that could solve her hyper problem, honestly

thekitty In reply to Owlpaw411 [2007-03-05 18:40:46 +0000 UTC]

please do! :3
its works, a daily walk will wear their asses out(try running a lil bit too)
especially smaller breeds like the shiba, i have a cattle dog mix and it really makes him happy and calmer, and they're known to be hyper freaks.

good luck, hope it helps and if she pulls, get one of those training leashes like [link]
