First I have Rumor, my Bouvier Des Flandres. She's an amazing dog, other than the grooming.
Then, there is Cameo, my Cane Corso.
And our newest addition: Carlos. A 12 week old deaf APBT.
I'd stab myself in the eye repeatedly before I'd ever consider buying an Akita.
I even told my husband if I ever utter the words 'We should get an akita' he is to promptly douse me in kerosene and light me on fire.
Just sayin'...
I believe the naked neck gene is dominant, but I can assure you that is not a purebred Turken. I have two, and they have single combs and bright yellow legs.
I got her from Meyer... they have several types of Marans (Including blues, splash, black coppers, golden cuckoos) so I'm guessing it's entirely possible that I got a blue copper. Thanks.
