Story
Ichiban is a 4 year old Shiba Inu pup born on December 17th 2020! He is unfortunately the result of a backyard breeding incident and has some behavioral issues as a result. Due to the irresponsible breeding, Ichibans father passed down a very poor attitude and as a result Ichiban is very food reactive. He does not resort to biting right away and he will let out a series of barks to let you know to back off of his dinner. However, if you don't listen and keep touching his food he will react with a bite. He has only ever bitten someone once & even when he did bite someone it only left a mark. He has never drawn blood or chased someone down to attack them. He reacts strictly out of fear of the unknown. It is recommended that he has an owner who is experienced with dogs, or even better reactive dogs! We want to be fully transparent about him as we truly want the best for him & for him to live a good life despite his issues. Even after he is adopted we would still love to keep track of him!
