I love these dogs my ex neighbor had one and If I didn't go over and pet her or just stick around she would howl like a wolf so I didn't let her down even though she loved my neighbor so much more as she raised her from a puppy!!
If your serious about an Akita check out Akita Rescues. I got my first one free,second one for $250, and my third for $250 also. Big East Akita and others need to find homes for these Akita's.
My akita is loves cats and she thinks she is one i would say some akitas are good with cats we bought her at 4 months but when she was about 10 months we bought another cat and she didn't do well with the cat in till about a few months after we got the cat
Bro, do you know when do they stop growing? Mine will 9 months on may 26 but he measure 23-24 inches and weights about 90 pounds. I feel he is kinda small but I would like to know your opinion. Also, I uploaded a video of his actual size, and looks kinda small. Please tell what you think
My Akita developed chronic runny nose. Does anyone have experience like this? Do you think it might be from certain vaccinations? My dog did get a vaccination.
All three Akita's I've rescued in my days were very healthy and only brought them to the Vet for shots mostly. If you walk them and spend a lot of time with them they will be very healthy.
how do they behave towards each other? i just got an Akita and from the research i did it seems they are not very friendly with other animals. and vey stubborn
I have a 1 year old female dog and a 8 weeks old puppy male neither of them are aggressive and they got along really well when we first introduced them
I have a 6 year old male and a 1 year old female she all white had to throw that in there ha. But we also have 2 pugs and the female hats them but has had no issues with an American bulldog and the male Akita so far. She got along with he pugs up antil 6 months old and she just decided she didn't like them anymore. But our female pug and male Akita are best friends forever..! So it depends on the dogs personality mixed with training but some animals will just flat out not get along with others.
I'd never trust my dog's lives with a kid. I never leave my dogs around kids. Kids are so badly behaved these days and it's always the poor dog's fault.
My Akita Brucie just passed away from bloat. It was sudden and rapid. Some things can trigger it but sometimes it's a combination of factors. Honestly, you can do everything right and still experience this. Larger dogs like akitas are prone to it but it increases with age and small dogs can get it too. Once they're senior doggies it can risk increases each year by 20%. Sometimes they can survive surgery but not live too long after. Sometimes they make a full recovery. My heart aches deeply. I just lost him 2 weeks ago today.
