  • The temperament is unpredictable between lines of akita. It seems like everyone is breeding to a different temperament. It's the reason I'm not getting another akita. Unless you can find a closely bred group that has been put in a huge variety of…
  • Akita personalities are a bit unpredictable. First there's the split between american and japanese style breeding and then there are individuals doing their own thing. On top of that you need to have the ability to train the puppy properly. Mine …
  • Ooo Ohio is driving distance but I just took in a husky pup and am getting a male Canaan. Plus getting that fence up so maybe a future plan.

  • Everything we've got are escape artists. No matter what I do to it I'm deluding myself if I think my akita stays in a chainlink fence for any reason except she wants to. We have a serious wood privacy fence planned for the near future.

  • Can you at least give a state for location? I always thought dingos were interesting but I was told you could never tame one enough for a pet.

  • Niji is closer to a normal puppy size and she is a toy hoarder. Including socks (Image) Haru tried to kill her over food. My husband messed up feeding everyone properly and Niji's head ended up in Haru's mouth. He got Niji away immediately but…
  • She has reached that age where shibas become words I cannot say on here toward other dogs. I would guess with some dogs she is seeing an opening to be rough. Shibas play rough and will look like they are tearing into small dogs. As soon as the ot…
  • Poor Niji, I was building rabbit cages and she barreled right into the cut end of wire. She screamed for a couple minutes before pacifying herself chewing on my hand. 30 seconds later she was killing the porch rug so I guess she isn't as dying as …
  • My sandals keep walking off and today I found a running shoe in the diningroom. I'm going to have to build a shoe rack before she reaches the stage she can do damage.
  • Nijiro has caught up some on what she should weigh and what she should be able to do physically. Haruko has given up all pretenses of being in charge. Azami approaches the food and Nijiro moves over. Haruko approaches the food and Nijiro growls. …
  • They make light weight checklines for training hunting dog puppies and there are lungelines for horses. We actually use horse ropes on our shiba because she has snapped several normal dog leads. I also used rock climbing ropes and clips designed t…
  • Revolution is safe for cats. Front line plus is the same ingredients in the dog and cat ones but they do say not to use on other species. I don't if that's because of dose difference or because lots of people use it off label on small animals. The…
  • Hunting down every possible tick on a medium to large breed is pretty futile. The capstar and tropicals are the best way to be sure they are gone. Advantage, front line, and many others have tick formulas. We use revolution because it kills fleas…
  • ahh puppies. I blindly reached over to see what Nijiro was busy with and stuck my hand in dog poop. I took her out 15mins before. It would help if her response to everything from "need to go outside" to "I'm bored" wasn't simp…
  • Very clear blue. She squints at my camera flash everytime. There might be some better phone pics. It's just a pain to get them on computer.
  • After screaming all night she kept it up out of her crate and was messing with her collar. I took her new collar off and she went to sleep. I need a face palm smiley. She's very vocal which did upset Azami because I got growled at, everyone has b…
  • We get our supplies from nordkyn.com. Hiking belts so we don't have to hold the leash, sledding ganglines or nylon webbing leashes, and semislip collars or skijoring harnesses. They also have a good tracking harness that is fully adjustable unlike…
  • I wouldn't off leash irregardless of training. I spent 6 months with my akita off leash just fine. We came and went from the house, dog classes, hikes in the field.... Then one spring day the squirrels were just too tempting. Once she started on…
  • My shiba loves the dog park, loves all dogs, and thinks they should all play with her. The problem is not all dogs want to play which is only a problem because other owners don't let their dogs discipline her. It takes a lot to deter her but not a…
