I have a small Red Japanese Akita, who looks like a Shiba on 'roids. I get, "OooOooO, you have a coyote!!" WTF.

I am new to Shiba Inus, and I think they are adorable! Absolutely adorable!
And yes, from a complete novice's standpoint, they do look a bit like foxes! Not really, but they are foxlike. Surely you guys can see that? :) No harm is intended. In fact, I think, just the opposite is intended.
People are praising your little dogs to the highest when they say this. They are trying to tell you that your dog is cute and precious and has a very distinct look, which is one of the reasons people fall in love with it!
Be grateful you have a dog that people love for its beauty!
Just sayin'. :)
Just FYI, dogbreedinfo.com states,
"Be careful during hunting season as the dog looks like a fox and may be mistaken for one."
So even though Shiba owners may not think they look like foxes, apparently someone does. I don't know if the person who wrote the article on that website is a Shiba expert or not.
