WoW! Weaselmouse, it sounds like you made the right decision in passing on that Shiba Inu puppy. That's awfully aggressive for a young dog! Or maybe it was playing roughly? Did you get a chance to see the parents? I would be interested to know what type of personalities they had. If they tended to be overly aggressive then breeding them would be irresponsible. That's the type of traits you don't want to continue in offspring.
