ABOUT AKITAS I encourage you, before you buy your first Akita, if you have acquired an Akita and don't know much about the breed, or just looking at getting a puppy and are considering an Akita, please take the time to visit and read the Akita breed information on the Akita Club of America website. I have provided their link for your convenience. An Akita is not a breed for everyone. I know you keep hearing that statement, because it is true. I fell in love with their beauty, sensitivity, and endearing traits but I was also willing to make them a part of my family and manage their less than endearing traits. You have to make that decision for yourself and determine if an Akita fits your lifestyle and personality. Akitas are true working dogs and are pack-oriented, extremely intelligent, independent thinkers. You must be willing to fill the role of pack leader and keep it, otherwise your Akita will be more than happy to fill the position. Please read all you can about the Akita breed, visit dog shows, talk to breeders and companion owners Realize an Akita puppy is a lifetime commitment. |
