Akita owners... unite! I have created this thread and am dedicating it to the beautiful, wonderful, but stubborn Akita breed! If there are any of you out there who are the lucky owners of this breed, come on over, I promise you won't be barking up the wrong tree!
My family has shown and bred Akitas for years, they started around 1999 up until 2008! Their last litter was in 2008, my dear JJ's litter! The father of his litter was an AKC champion, he was one of the ones they bred!
Sadly, my dear Jake passed early this year, and I was heartbroken, he was the last remaining of his littermates, he outlived them, and his parents. (He does however have one last sibling, who belongs to someone else, but we aren't sure how she is)
He was blind since he was young, and probably had some other mild neuro problems, but that is one of the reasons I am at peace with his passing, as hard as it is not waking up and taking care of him. God bless you JJ, you are forever loved and missed!
Since most dog breeders know, it is not an easy or cheap hobby to keep up, and it is hard finding forever homes for them because some of the ones they bred they had to take back.
When we lost our old house girl a few years back, Anya, we bought our dear Emi, a four-year-old who has taken on Anya's task of guarding and loving this family, here is her photo! She is larger than most females of her breed, weighing in at around 125lbs!
I am going to end my post here, and I hope there are at least a few Akita owners on BYC that could drop on by!

, are they bad with cats even if they grow up with them? I really want a spitz but can’t find any large spitz breeds that are good with cats.
