Well done and good luck - absolute stunning dog

My first Jack Russell "Sherri" was from the rescue home ran by the blind lady in Tranmere many years ago - "Sherri" was with my wife and I for 16 plus years. Our present dog "Ruffles" was from a rescue home in Manchester at the age of 8 weeks! he is on the "Pets Page"

Can't understand how people can do it.

How about a doggie get together sometime?

What your other one like with other dogs is he/she ok its just that ive heard from other Akita owners,they dont like other dogs when they mature ... mines great with other dogs`hes still only young 15 months and would hate to have put him on a leash

akitas mature when they are about 2 years old our other akita Amber used to give a warning if she didn't want to be bothered,for safety tho we didn't like doing it we used to muzzle her.As she got older most dogs seemed to leave her alone but I would let her off the lead if there were no other dogs about akitas seem to tire themselves out after 20 mins then carry on walking on the lead.Can't let misty off yet tho she could do with a good run to tire her out its hard for her because she has been in kennels so long so its exciting for her got to get her a training lead because she needs to learn recall which is important because misty is heavier & stronger than Amber but she was good on the lead & didn't pull.

My daughter & i have six akitas at home, with two mini dachshunds and one australian shepherd. We have owned akitas now for 23years, we show and both judge at championship level.

Starakita, thats great what you`ve done for Misty aka Wanda, so pleased she has found a great home with you. I was reading this thread out to my daughter and she said she had been told about the akita in the kennels, but i had no idea she was there.
Anyway glad its all worked out for her, ours are daft as brushes lol, especially the big red/white male we have called Bentley, my daughter was trying to clean his ears earlier on and he was rolling on his back using his front paws to cover his ears so she couldnt get to them. She was laughing to much to carry on haha, anyway take care xx
