We crack each other up constantly. It is like sitting in a room with two comic book characters who are physically incapable of taking themselves seriously (unless you get me talking about pups, but that is rather obvious)
O M G! Those pups are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!! Its kind of crazy seeing how small they are and how big they get to be!!! I am very happy for you guys!!! So damn adorable I love it!
Thank you, everyone! Around here, we're having a case of puppy love, heheh!
Dave - I thought about that. Thats why I only posted these here, because i was sure you guys would appreciate them, and I didn't use imageshack or any other of those sites. I tried to "protect" the photos as much as I could.
Jessica - Hehehe, I liked the adorable pile of cute.
Rachel - Although we don't have to wait as long as you, I can totally understand how you're feeling. We're 5 weeks away from going to get him and I can't wait. I can't wait to go, and of course there's the added bonus of taking 2 weeks off work to get the puppy and kitten used to us and the house.
It has a lot of great, very granular, information - covers AA and JA - and is very informative on the growth cycles and health issues. It also has a lot of very valuable diet info. You may want to check it out.

As for the growth rate - its really amazing... Akita grow at a 10lb per month rate until they are ~7 months old, then it slows to around ~5lb per month and continues that till they are 18 months! So that little guy in the pic will be close to 20lb when you get him!
Although, as I told you, i won't be the one that chooses, deep down I have this discreet preference for the one on the left. Of course I'll be happy with anyone of them.
As a name update, Yuuki seems to have taken the lead...but there's still a month to go, nothing´s final.
I'm in love with both puppies for different reasons:
The 1st seems like quite a character - i like 'spunk' - in cats and boys... hehe... so who knows how this dog would be as a pet?
The 2nd seems like he's quieter, a honey, probably loves cuddles - at least for now - i loooove cuddles. My cats are my hot water bottles! Also, his coat is a deeper red - I like it but I'm not saying I don't like the 1st one. Argh!
I think I will be happy with either - as long as it has the Akita cat-like characteristics and of course as long as it is healthy.
I really can't wait!!! I'm even cuddling Rui even more than usual 'cos I'm brooding for the furballs we're getting!
#3 and #4 are the same, Silvia sent me 4 photos, 2 of each male. So, the first tow are form male A and the #3 and #4 are from male B.
Seems that the guy ahead of us on the reservation list prefers male A, but nothing's decided. In about two weeks we'll have photos from our own cameras to show and then we'll see wich "pile of cute"(thank you Jay, hehehe) we're getting.
Yeah Brad, there's only 2 dogs in those 4 photos...for an akita owner...im not impressed! IM SO JK! I just knew that there were only 2 dogs because the first time Rui posted pics, it was between 2 males, and i noticed the first 2 pics were the same pup so the 2nd set of pics must be the other. I hope you get Male B!!! He is too cute!
Comments
I might be reading too much into the pics, but when I saw 'the 2nd pile of cute' I thought - wow, this guy's got character!
I'm just in love....with both!
I LOVE it! Im SO envious! I have to wait soooooooooo long! (but wont settle)
I saw pics of joey and Dave is very lucky!
Jess I would LOVE to be friends with you and Jason...you guys are hilafreakinlarious!

Romi - Thanks! We're very happy too!!
By the time we get our pup it will be about a year and a half talking all the time about him.
I cant wait to be bombarded by more photos
They are so cute! I agree with phoenix - the second one has a tude... he is like "I was sleeping, WTF you want?"
I love them, Akita puppies are so cute... they really are piles of cute!
Congrats!
Yeah, they'll be 100lbs and it won't take them that long to get there either!
I like the way that big dogs are born and then develop into massive animals.
I just thought of this, we purchased this book before we got Hilo:

One more photo, from Silvia's site.
The two on the left are the males.

Merci bien, Emilie!
Yes, she does have beautiful Akita and Shiba.

I really can't wait!!!
Can I vote for the cute little girl on the right? She seems to be pouting about the big ugly camera being shoved in her face. What a sweetie!
Of course the boys are precious as well, but I felt she was being left out.
I've just left her out 'cos Rui's always been adamant he wants a boy... that ship has sailed!
However, I think they make a cute little bunch - 'grumpy', 'sleepy' and 'sass'...lol...i love puppies... oh my i'm brooding...
We're happy!!!! If any of you can say without a doubt which one is the cutest, I have to say I think you're lying
Natasha and Rui
HOLY CRAP - THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!!! I love #3, he just looks different from the rest.

Looks like you just can't lose.
