Yeh, I'm worried about that, and commented on it before they took the chatroom away (too many trolls I guess.)
The owners keep stressing that people interested in Shibas should try rescue organizations first, since they are cute puppies but challenging dogs. Their character seems much like or Malamute, just smaller--willful, intelligent, independent, strong prey instinct, lousy at obedience, love to run (away). If I was 10 years younger,...I'd get one!
