Average Weight of a Shiba

As we enter fall and the weather gets cooler, everyone’s appetite starts to increase–and that includes Kotaro! This is the season where we have to be careful, because eating to much = getting fat.

Now, at one year and three months old, Kotaro’s weight is stable at around 10-11kg. The Japanese Dog Preservation Association, which sets standards for Japanese dogs, suggests that the standard weight for an adult male Shiba is 9-11kg, so it’s good to know that he’s grown as expected.

Here’s Kotaro back in the days when he looked like a soft toy (two months old):

And here’s the fine canine he’s grown into!

But there are some things that don’t change no matter how big he gets. For example, this interesting way of sleeping!

And the way we sometimes find him squished into the tightest of corners.

And the way he puts his head on his paw… It almost looks like he’s sulking.



(Kotaro: No-one’s playing with me…)

And he still loves to play tug-of-war!



(Kotaro: This is fun!)

Hmm, maybe he hasn’t grown up so much after all.

He’s still our cute little dog.
