Fiddy

Some may remember i bought japanese akita pup in november. just thought id give a quick update for those interested. i cant believe how quick she is growing. when we got her at 6 weeks old, she was tiny compared to my husky









This was her at 8 weeks playing with kyla in the snow










This is her today at 16 weeks

Have you read on the news today of one of these attacking a two year old then being put down?

Hope you don't start to get the same negative comments that I get being a Rotty owner bud, general public hear/read some news and get all shitty with breeds etc

He does look lovely mate.

I have soooo much love for dogs, i cant walk past one without stroking it lol

Stuning lookin dogs, do they leave much hair in the house?

Fiddy

Kev, she's as soft as shite mate, she even goes running when my youngest shouts at her, and she's only 5, she just wants to play all the time. she is with the kids before, and after school, and has been since we got her. the kids take her for walks around the block, and tbh, she is closer to the kids, than me. kyla (husky) is my dog, we got oki (akita) for wor lass and the kids. i make sure i give oki plenty of fuss and spend time with her like, dont want her thinking i prefer kyla obviosly, as there all 'our' dogs, just it was me who wanted/got kyla, as i love huskys. the reason wor lass and the kids wanted an akita, is good freinds of ours, who also have kids, have an akita, and she is the same, soft as shite, with everyone, and my kids and wor lass love her, everytime they went round to our freinds, all i got was 'can we have an akita, pleeeeeeeeease' for months, in the end i gave in.

i genuinely believe the breed of dog is irrelivant mate, as far as its nature, its how its brought up and treat. ive know staffy's, rotti's, all sorts, that have been the most pleasent natured dogs you could ever meet, and jack russells and yorkshire terriers that have been little twats, so the size, and breed, is irrelivant in my eyes, you judge each dog on its merits.

i know what your saying about people opinions though. i took oki down the town not long after we got her, had to carry her because she hadnt had her injections at that point. go into the bank to pay some money in, and the woman behind the counter gives it 'awww, it looks like a little bear, isnt int adorable, what is it', i said, 'akita', and she takes a step back and says 'oh, arnt they there dangerous ?'. yeah, if you treat them like shite, just like any other dog

Fiddy

yes mate, a lot lol. but i have this twisted addiction to hoovering, so id be hoovering everyday, wether we had the dogs or not, so it doesnt really make much difference. but you would be surprised how much fur they can loose in 24 hours.

Fiddy

aye, she's gona be a big girl mate, give her another 8 weeks, when she is 6 months, she will be bigger than my husky.

she will be agood 11 - 12 stone by the time she is fully grow i reckon

Fiddy

Aye steve, she's gona be a big girl.




Kev, akita inu temprement taken from wikipedia

Akita Inu are renowned as loyal dogs and are also intelligent. The loyalty of an Akita named Hachiko established the breed as truly loyal to their owners.The famous Akita Hachiko spent nine years waiting daily at the Shibuya railway station for his deceased master to return home. Hachiko's popularity brought back the Akita from the brink of extinction.

Akita Inu are very good with youngsters from their own family, and often quite playful, although they should be watched around other people's children as they could knock them over during play

The Akita Inu have a reputation for sometimes being aggressive towards smaller animals or other dogs, particularly those of the same sex. However they can live happily with other dogs and animals providing they are socialized well. They are excellent guard dogs and naturally protective of their home and family. The Akita Inu has a reputation for being an excellent house dog. They make great family dogs with the right training and socialization

There both looking big Fiddy diddy.

My dad had a jack russel and it bit me 4 times.It was a nasty dog.It was my dads dog.If my dad left any of his clothes out or even his slippers the dog would guard them and go for you if you rouched them,he was a right little bastard.

i must admit alot of people make you feel guilty about owning a rotty,its the way they grab their childs hands and drag them away from stroking.
mine is the second softest i know, the softest died two years ago in april.
i am 6'3" 17 stone and i cried like a baby for days after.
must admit the akita looks loveley.

Two great looking dogs there

Fiddy

thats what i mean mate, dogs with a bad reputation because of there breed or size, can be the softest dogs in the world, and nice little dogs that have a good reputation, can be nasty little twats. judge each dog on its merits, are nature, not on the breed

Fiddy

cheers gents

No prob mate I love Akitas and huskies. Were your husky expensive

Fiddy

im not saying all akitas have mate, depends on how there raised/treated, and there massive/powerfull dogs, so could easily have a fully grown bloke if they wanted to. but every akita i know of, and know personally, are big soft bears.

its the reputation they have of 'japanese fighting dogs' as some call them, is what puts a lot of people off

Lee1

She's lovely, going to be big, her paw's are massive!

Ps that last pic made me lol for some reason

Fiddy

i got her as a rescue dog mate, she had been very badly treated, and was used as nothing more than a breeding machine. she nearly died with her last litter, had to get rushed to the vets and get a cesarian to deliver them, and they gave her a hystorectomy at the same time, her insides were a mess. she was a mess when i got her, no fur, and shockingly under weight









its like night and day now, 6 months later, and she looks like this









as for expense. she is full pedigree and keneell club registered. i got all her papers when i got her, and a reciept from her breeder, who sold her to the guy who almost killed her, he paid Ł650 for her as a pup, but as soon as she had been given her hystorectomy, and couldnt have no more pups, he didnt want her, and gave her away

Fiddy

aye, she is gona be a big girl mate, if you google akita inu, and look at the pics, you will see they are big dogs, but even by normal akita inu standards, i think she is going be big. she gets bigger everyday.

Aww that a great looking dog mate look afrer her or I'm coming to find you lol

Fiddy

i love her to bits mate. after everything she has been through, it would be understandable if her temprement wasnt good, but she is the most loving, caring, soft natured dog, you could ever meet, but she has a freightning amount of energy. i had her out pulling me on a sledge at christmas in the snow, and im a big lad, 6" 18 stone, and she could pull me about without breaking a sweat
