Okay, so I'll fess up. I have alwasy wanted an Akita. but hey, I've also always wanted a load of other breeds.
So I did that K9 country breed selector thing just for fun.
Akita matched 100% (along with Chessie and several other breeds totalling 6)
DH and I were talking about Akita's last night. He wants a dog that will protect our kids (in particular, our DD. What can I say, he's a typical Dad) but still be very "family friendly."
So.... anyone here have one? No fear, I will be reading up etc during the next year on the breed. No impulse buyer here. Besides, my lil Chipper needs to learn some basic manners which will take us a bit.
But I'd love to discuss the breed with someone who owns one. Where I am, it's highly unlikely I will find a knowledgeable owner of an Akita. (totally hunting dog territory)
