Akita

[prampushingdownthehighst]

I have the opportunity to rescue one of these dogs...has anyone any advice?
We are long term dog owners who are now without a dog and missing a doggy presence.
I have had conflicting opinions around this breed and would welcome some more feedback if at all possible.
Dog is a 5 year old birch in desperate need of a home.
Thanks.

Ive had and rescued many akitas and in the right hands they are fantastic, if you have another dog in the home they must meet in the home and not on neutral ground or they will fight quite badly, you must be dominant and firm with them if they see you as the pack leader they are putty in your hands had my last till he was 17 and still i miss him
