    I read the "the Split" but once again. Which one is the real Akita?? Oo
  • shibamistressshibamistress
    @Ivan....both are. :)
  • dlrobertsdlroberts
    It's tomorrow already isn't it? I want to know how it went! :-)
  • ivanmeza03ivanmeza03
    And why is that in most dog books, or at least the one I have read, there are two Akitas or more specific a Great Japanese Dog and the Akita?

    Day one went ok. Kita is seasoned pro, Kaeda was ok....she kinda went into her "shame cave" afterwards. Honestly with all the stuff going on, I forgot about dogs being tied. I kept saying to myself "hurry up dude".

    We are having a second date tomorrow.
  • *JackBurton**JackBurton*
    @Ivan they both are not lol. I really don't think anyone knows what the true Akita is. But the American Akita and Japanese Akita have developed into two really neat breeds.

    Also when they chose to make the second breed that's when Great Japanese Dog came up. Then it was changed to American Akita.
  • ttddinhttddinh
    @jackburton--Usually about how "dates" do they need to have to ensure a successful pregnancy? How long are they tied for?
  • tjbart17tjbart17
    Yeah congratulations!!!!! Kaeda is such a pretty girl. I can't wait to see her pups.
  • *JackBurton**JackBurton*
    Yeah they were tied, it was ten plus mins. We will do a second one tomorrow and then Thursday.
  • ivanmeza03ivanmeza03
    Thats crazy, I've seen pictures of really old Akitas and they resemble more to the one we call today the American Akita, however Hachiko (1920's-1930's) looks more like a mix of the two modern types of Akitas today.

  • *JackBurton**JackBurton*
    In the book "Akita" by the Japanese Kennel Club, you'll see that the Japanese started mixing as early as the 1860s. One of the first dogs they used was some sort of Mastiff brought in by a European. So of course they are going to look more like the American Akita. I always find it odd that people state that the Japanese heavily mixed the Akita after WWII to help save the breed. To me the mixing can be broken down to two major events: 1) Dog fighting - to help counter the Tosa 2) The onset of WWII where one part of the Japanese dog world prized the GSD. At the same time the other segment of dog lovers were mixing to help "hide" the Akita since the Japanese Military was using them for pelts, etc etc. To further compound the issue, there were those that had "unmixed" Akitas (I still think they were somewhat mixed) that stashed their dogs up in the mountains. These dogs were later added into the breeding pool as well.



  • *JackBurton**JackBurton*
    Ok folks. We did three breedings with the last tie happening last night. I will take her in for ultrasound in 30 days.
