Hmm, yes, it seems so.

Shiba Inus are known for their independent and reserved nature, which can sometimes be perceived as being anti-social, especially towards strangers. They tend to be aloof with people they don't know, showing a preference for their family members or familiar people. This breed is also known for its strong personality and can be quite territorial.

As for letting a stranger pet them, it greatly depends on the individual dog's temperament, its socialization, and the circumstances. Shiba Inus who have been well-socialized from a young age may be more open to interactions with strangers, including being petted, though they might still show some reservation compared to more overtly friendly breeds. In contrast, a Shiba Inu that hasn't been adequately socialized or has had negative experiences with strangers might be less likely to welcome such interactions.
