Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.
Considering adopting a Basenji/Shiba Inu mix

You are all so helpful! Yes, I know this rescue dog has been living with other dogs and gets along well with them. My female shiba was very agressive towards other females. My sister has a lab mix, much larger than a shiba, but my shiba dominated her ruthlessly.

I know this is an old post but I have a 8 month old basenji shiba mix (we call him a shasenji) He just began shedding and quite a bit but has never before. He gets along really well with other dogs but we were very dedicated to socializing him. I do think he would do better with another dog in the house because he is always looking to play and gets destructive when there is no one to play with him. He is very pretty and makes all the cute basenji sounds and we love him!

congratulations on your basenji/shiba puppy and welcome. Would be cool to see some pictures of your pooch!

Are you sure that black/white dog has Shiba in it?

I know I'm a little late, but your guy looks just like mine! CUTE!

He is so cute! Are you sure there's shiba in there? He looks all basenji except perhaps the tail is fluffier.
-
He does look like he could be PB. Where did you get him from?

You guys, Mambo's owner already posted pictures of his pup's parents in his intro thread here. He is a confirmed shiba/basenji mix. Perhaps, for obvious reasons, I remember this one pretty well.
Hope Mambo's doing well!
