Shiba Inus are actually also hunting dogs

Pitts we’re not breed for hunting. They were selectively breed for fighting. Hence all the “mauling instinct “ that everyone is in a tizzy about.

Being breed for hunting instinct is different than being selectively breed for aggressive fighting. You don’t want a hunting dog that mauls and rips your game before you get to take it home.

Fighting dogs are actually meant to do mauling damage and kill.

Really? I haven’t seen any reports of a shib ripping anyones face off or mauling children to death… weird.
