What do people really think about akita dogs2007-11-25 2:51:21

I have 3 now but had 4 when one died. People tell me Im crazy for having these dogs and I ask why.

Answers:

There are two breeds that I will attack first before they get the chance to attack me. They are the Akita and the Chow. They should be outlawed in every state except VA.

Akitas are beautiful dogs! Each to his/her own, but I don't think you're crazy for keeping them. Do you race them?

I think they are beautiful, and very affectionate to their families. But, I do not like that some can be dog aggressive, and I would hate the twice a year heavy shedding of their thick under coat. I think they need a strong owner that is very loving!

Akitas are great and beautiful dogs

They however are not the right dog for many people

Akitas are strong and strong willed and many people do not give the dogs the leadership, training, attention and exercise that they need. When the dogs needs are not met bad situtations can develop.

My friends all know that I am crazy for the time I spend training my dog (a Keeshond) and teaching obedeince classes. But then most of them are crazy for the same reasons.

i like them i had one once she was great i did end up giving her back to the person i got her from after about a year cause i could not give her the attention she needed to stay active and such..but the home she came from was like a second home to me who had about 5 akitas (they breed them so i am not sure how many were their pets or puppies waiting for homes) and they all where great .the only time i have seen any problems from them was when a stranger would sneak up on the mom with the puppies , i personally like great danes tho

Akita's are wonderful dogs there elegant in every way shape or form, but in a way they are like the dobe, pitbull etc, people have given them a bad name either through experience or just something they have read.
