Shibas are pretty active and energetic dogs and require at least an hour of exercise every day. As with most smart, energetic dogs, they will misbehave when they are bored. Worse still, without that exercise, they risk becoming overweight. Even if they seem healthy, it is always best to take them to the vet for a check-up at least twice a year. In general, they will fall into the average of between twelve and fifteen years. This is because the procedure reduces the risk of certain cancers.
