I have finally found a Shiba Inu from rescue that is quite near to me! Now I have a few questions, though, because the dog is said to have some problems, yet others disagree.
This dog is being given away by his owner because she feels her is highly territorial, agressive, and terrible with other dogs. She says he is untrainable and far too much to handle.
However, her vet and a local breeder have both evaluated the dog and said he is one of the best Shibas they have ever seen. They feel the woman is just making excuses to get rid of the dog because she feels a bit overwhelmed.
He is an older dog, so training him will be a little harder (especially since Shibas are already hard to train), but I'm willing to put the time and effort needed towards the training.
I'm just not sure if I can trust the vet and breeder. They've both never seen him with another dog or in his home enviroment, and I know that dogs act differently at home then they do when they are out.
