Meet Saigo!
Saigo Go Shirai came home with us from Japan on Tuesday. He's sleeping right now so I have some time to post this. It's a horrible photo from my playbook, so I promise I'll get better ones later.
He's got the most outgoing personality and just wants to lick everyone he meets. He's afraid of stairs and is a huge suck (when he doesn't want to go somewhere he does a spread eagle on the floor and grips on lol). He definately has that akita stubborness.
Man, i'm bagged!
Also want to thank @jeffnkazuko for everything he's done and put up with (our lateness in Atsugi, getting lost in Chiba and my worrywartiness in customs lol). I have my own little family now and it's all thanks to you.

How many pounds is he right now? Do you have a daycare you can send him to so he has other dogs to gnaw on/practice bite inhibition?
He was weighed at 8.5kg when in export quarantine. We will start puppy classes next week. We got him a few chews to divert his biting from people.
Saigo is doing amazingly well! He's learned to climb and descend stairs, is potty trained (will run to the door and whine if he needs to go, knows peepee and poopoo) and absolutely LOVES baths and getting blowdried after. Has no desire to get at the furniture or anything else he's not supposed to. He's almost too friendly (loves other dogs and people!) and will lick them to death. He's almost too good...i don't want to jinx myself lol !
He went to "work" with dad today:
He was never told not to get on the couch, he just liked being on the couch or bed. Now, he will go on it for about an hour at a time. Just enough time for a power nap and then back to the tile where it is nice and cool.
