How to tell if a Shiba Inu has a round face or a pointy face Depending on the shape of the Shiba Inu’s face, the Japanese classify Shiba Inus into two types, the pointy fox face and the round civet face. Generally speaking, people consider the slightly pointy fox face to be the Shiba Inu that more closely resembles the Shiba Inu’s original style, while the round face of the civet face is because people prefer to see a round-faced Shiba Inu, so the Shiba Inu’s face gradually starts to become rounded as it becomes a pet dog. Distinguishing the sharp-faced Shiba Inu: This type of Shiba Inu has a long, thin, smooth line from the forehead to the top of the nose, and their teeth are very pronounced because of the shape of their face, making them look like they have extra large teeth. Generally, Shiba Inus with this face have a very thin appearance. This kind of Shiba Inu looks more primitive and is very similar to the Jomon era dog fossils that have been excavated before, and some people call them Jomon Shiba Inu. Distinguishing round-faced Shiba Inu: The civet-faced Shiba Inu is very easy to identify, in a word, their face. And the nose is the center of their circle. Also their necks are different from other Shiba Inus, the necks are very thick and match their round faces very well. It looks like the dog’s body weight will be heavier than the real weight of about ten kilograms. Although the same Shiba Inu, but this Shiba Inu looks completely different from the fox face, one is towards the line of smart and reliable, one is the line of cute and soft. But it seems that the rounded civet-faced Shiba Inu is more popular. It became the pioneer of Shiba Inu to the world.
