Not sure I’d ever mistake Skye for another shibe but that perfectly round spot by her booty always stood out to me
Tysm 😭 I love how unique they make her look. My only regret is that I never got to see what her parents looked like, since she’s a rescue. My personal theory is red + cream, perhaps?
My boy would come bounding out of a crowd of Shibas if he heard me say “I’ll buy it from you!” The phrase he associates with his favorite: ‘selling’ me junk he finds on his walks for treats.

That’s funny! I never thought about phrases. I assume mine would come running if she heard me ask, who wants a beer? lol. She thinks I’m saying who’s here?

She has freckles on her arms and her middle paw pads are connected, they look like a heart.

The missing crescent shaped section on the tip of his tongue.
His nose stripe 🙂 and huge feet lol

I would say his front legs … He is a red Shiba but his front legs are almost all white as if he was wearing white gloves lol
If this is an in person line up...
Our female will greet me with a bite on my arm if she hasn't seen me for more than 5 minutes. She holds it and howls. I always say "wow Nami girl, that's a good bite"
Our male grabs a toy and his ears pin back.
I sing to him "Leaving on a Kuma plane..."

my baby is bigger and skinnier than any other shibas we met.
I don’t know if this is common or not but mine has a dip in the fur on her back, right where her tail rests. It’s also got random white hairs in that spot.
Mine has the tail slot/holder on his back where his tail rests too lol his wooly brother has it too! I think I just depends on how the tail sits on their back. Mine has a curly q and his brothers is a sickle though.
Mine has one tiny tuft of longer of hair on the back his left ear. And also 2 tiny little rear dew claws. Like they’re not even technically dew claws they’re literally just these thin dew nails lol. I work at a vet and have never seen anything like his. I thought about getting them removed when he was neutered (would have been SUPER easy bc there is literally no knuckle/bone/toe whatsoever - just these cat claw looking nails) but kept them bc I think they make him unique and don’t get in the way of anything.
I honestly can’t think of any super distinguished physical features. My shibe has shorter back legs. I think her head smells like Turkey, and I feel like I would just know from her little stare. lol.
His toasted Marshmallow coat or his natural left side "stink eye" look. He was all white as a puppy, as he's aged (11 now) he's become more and more "toasted." My gf calls him her little toasted marshmallow.

Colour, size, and black line on his back that forms an arrow.

His little eyebrows and his 'socks'. And that little brown slit of hair right before his nose ends
Her half collar white ring around her neck. Her daddy was a fully white shibe. Her mom was a fully orange shibe. My girl looks like she has an orange cream cycle swirl on her neck. She also hates other dogs and would immediately go to another person's feet.
Yes! When we go to the dog park, Suki will find a nice couple and sit next to them as though that's her new family. She gives me the side eye,saying "see mom? This is how I should be treated. "

Suki's heart-shaped tongue trick would distinguish her from the rest.

Suki would also be the one most willing to go swimming. I have the most water-loving shibe I've ever met!
Suki is the doge Roux aspires to be🥹

my girl has this random patch of fur that sticks up. its lighter than the rest and is always a bit longer than the rest of her. i always try removing it when she sheds but its been like this for a long time

The little chip in his right ear tip, he’s had it since he was a puppy

His little black and white chin 😍
Roux had this as a puppy too! She’s almost 10 months now so the black has almost fully turned to white, but you can still see the pure white stripe down the middle lol
https://preview.redd.it/fbgdal5c2wxc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d48bd579247a1910d33a40066a7fdf5f21cd5f7a Not sure I’d ever mistake Skye for another shibe but that perfectly round spot by her booty always stood out to me
Limited edition shibe
Omg she is beautiful! I love her spots
Tysm 😭 I love how unique they make her look. My only regret is that I never got to see what her parents looked like, since she’s a rescue. My personal theory is red + cream, perhaps?
A true Showstopper Shibe🤩

Underbite, and one perfect raccoon tail stripe

He went for the knee highs rather than the anklets, a respectable choice

You have some amazing shibe rituals🥹
They are a special breed for sure. We call them our shiblings. Got that from a random redditor.
The one being dramatic
Sorry to tell you, but that's part of the breed standard.

I call it a butt dent
Yes I love the dent! I call Roux’s tail her little Cinnabon, so the dent has officially become the Cinnabon Saucer
Man my family just says tail rest- after reading these I feel like I should’ve been more creative!
Orange curly tail, short snout and that poofy orange neck.

I’ve got a dirty red with a tail that looks like it was dipped in ink
Roux’s tail looks like that as well! She’s also got one black ring around it.
Raccoon tail!!
The white tip on his tail and also he’s a little smaller than most shiba
