Arrival Story:
After looking for the "perfect" breed for years, we settled on the Shiba. It turned out that some good friends of friends have a wonderful and responsible Shiba breeding program in NH. We visited them, and fell in love with the dam and some of the dogs from previous litters. A few weeks later, Hanzo and his three littermates were born. Hanzo was the biggest and boldest pup of the litter. The breeder thought city life would suit him perfectly, and she was right. He possesses as much of the Shiba's "spirited boldness" as I can imagine. (Check out Hanzo's pup pal Sid, Dogster ID 144259, he's Hanzo's littermate.)
Bio:
Hanzo was named for a famous historical figure from 16th Century Japan. In legend, Hattori Hanzo is known as a superhuman ninja warrior, capable of disappearing into thin air and attacking without causing alarm. He could discern clairvoyantly the plans and strength of any enemy army. Hattori Hanzo appears in countless ninja movies and novels dressed in black, flying through the sky, swimming underwater, tunneling beneath the ground, and vanishing into the darkness. The sword-maker character in the recent Kill Bill movies went by the same name.
So far, Hanzo is living up to his name. He is very sneaky, capable of stealing things from shelves that seem too high for him to reach. He's trying hard to attack those darn NYC pigeons without causing alarm, but they always seem to fly away at the last second. He blames it on his leash and the less than ninja-like humans holding it. As for flying through the sky, he's tried that a couple times off of some scarily high ledges... swimming underwater, HA, not a chance... tunneling beneath the ground, he's working on that... and vanishing into the darkness, while I'm sure he's capable (he's a fast little bugger), I do my best to make sure it doesn't happen.
