Over the last 12 months DOGE returned -60.52% and SHIB -53.05%. Over just the last month the picture is the same: DOGE +12.91%, SHIB +13.31%. Short periods can tell a very different story from long ones, which is why picking a coin from last month's chart rarely works.
Shiba Inu moves about ±1.9% on a typical day against ±1.8% for Dogecoin. In the past year DOGE fell as much as 74% from a peak and SHIB 68%. Bigger swings mean bigger possible gains and bigger possible losses, size your position so a fall like that wouldn't force you to sell.
The correlation of their daily moves over the past year is 0.87 (1 = always together, 0 = unrelated): they usually move together. Owning both gives you less diversification than two separate coins might suggest, when one falls, the other usually does too.
Dogecoin is the bigger network, with a market cap about 4.4× that of Shiba Inu. A lower price per coin doesn't make a coin “cheaper”: what matters is market cap, and how many new coins will still be created (DOGE: no fixed cap; SHIB: no fixed cap).
Both trade on FIU-registered exchanges. Profit on either is taxed at 30% plus 4% cess, 1% TDS is deducted when you sell, and a loss on one can't be set off against a gain on the other. Guides: how to buy Dogecoin · how to buy Shiba Inu · best crypto apps in India.
