Absolutely! Akitas are renowned for their courage and loyalty, making them natural protectors. It's fascinating how their history as guardians for royalty in Japan has shaped their protective instincts. 🐾💪
Question. I heard that if socialized too much they become too trusting and friendly like huskies. Is this true or false? I love Akitas and want one as my next dog because they are super loyal and loving with their owner and because of their primitive hunting nature (which i admire in dogs) and my recent dog that i lost was named Ghost, a malamute/shepherd mix and the main comment i got from people was them joking around about stealing him from me which i take very seriously because my mothers dog was almost stolen twice and my friends dog was stolen and he hasn't found him ever again. Can Akitas have a balanced disposition where they can greet people but react to a threat?
I must be the winner of rescue best Akita ever.... 2.5 years I've have, no training, one bark on our 11 acres mountains something up he's watching, one morning fence yard he barked and it a big buck moose 25' away just standing there, boy looked at and kinda stared at, get in the cabin buddy. He is completely social humans. Zero training but trust learning, took a good year for him to trust me, now loyal best friends.
