  • I was there with Jiro and Ame! Unfortunatly Jiro got upset by another male and was then very aware of them, probably made worse by the fact our girlie is about to come into season, so I found it quite stressful. He loved getting petted by everyone t…

  • Thanks guys! Whew, well I thought the introductions with Kinu were going to be tricky, I was wrong... (Image) I'm sure I was Miya and I were meant to find each other. She has fitted in perfectly, she gets on with all my dogs and Kinu was even gr…
  • LMAO! I think that reaction could sort out a good few difficult situations!
  • Thanks for the replies! I feel a lot better knowning you all share the same feelings on this. I think I'll try following Brad's example and letting all my anger out on the owner next time!
  • I read online that a UK Akita owners dog attacked several off lead dogs and after being threatened he called the police to ask what their stance on it was, they told him it was the other dog owners responsibility to control their dog off lead and th…
  • Yes, it really is a tough one. I've been reading about it online since I posted this and it seems most owners accept they are at fault if a dog on a lead attacks their loose dog. I read a good post somewhere else that said it's just plain bad manner…
  • Jiro is a nightmare when the girls are in heat, he does this horrible loud whiney howl for about 48 hours, we get no sleep!
  • He is beautiful, he looks really happy and well!
  • Lovely photos!
  • Thank you all! I think I'll feel much better about doing it next time just because I know he will be relaxed and well behaved. I am so, so pleased with him. There aren't any ringcraft classes near me unfortunately, the closest one is a half hour dr…
  • Hey everyone, Just thought I'd update on the show. Jiro took reserve best dog and 2nd in open (Ame's mother took 1st), and Ame took 2nd in junior (her sister took 1st). I am over the moon with both of them, especially Jiro because I was nervous abo…
  • Isn't he? :D I am planning to get a tattoo of his head soon! Yes that's right, he is Keiths. He handled Jiro for me at his first show, he and Erika are so lovely and so dedicated to their dogs. I'm very glad I got to see Taiyoo in the flesh before …
  • Yeah I am hoping her coat goes the same way as her fathers, he is a really awesome dog. I had the pleasure of meeting him before he moved to Hungary and he was such a powerful, eye catching dog. I really see a lot of him in Ame! Here is his gallery:…
  • Thanks, I've spoken to her breeder who believes her colour will fade to a deep red. Her dad's colour is absolutely stunning, he's not in the UK anymore but I had the pleasure of meeting him last year and he was really gorgeous, so I'm hoping Ame's c…
  • That's helpful, thank you. No there is no sesame in the bloodline, so she must be a red. I saw a dog last year that was shown as a sesame with a very clear saddle pattern and no black hairs anywhere else, so maybe he was a red too!
  • "Look at your Akita Inu or American Akita, and ask yourself if you think that dog lives up to the Akita reputation. Do you? (really I'm asking)" That is something I have actually been thinking about lately. I also have talked to a few bre…
  • Yeah of course, I respect everyone's opinion as long as they respect both breeds! :) The way I see the history argument, if you go back far enough in time all dogs breeds are just one breed! New breeds are being developed all the time, they evolve.…
  • Awwww! He's gorgeous! Going to be an absolute stunner when he's grown up. Congrats!
  • He looks fantastic! I am so glad his back end has improved, I'm glad his ears stayed down though, it makes him the cutest Akita ever!
  • I love both breeds, obviously I am passionate about the Japanese Akita, but I absolutely love the American Akita. I can't wait until I can add a nice big pinto with a black mask to my pack, they are amazing dogs! However I really don't think that …
  • Thanks everyone! Agappe - "who is Unsyuhime Shun'you Kensha parents?? she takes me after somebody.. ;)" Ayames mum Unsyuhime's (also know as Jeema) is sired by Unshou Go Kanzakiya Kensha and her dam is Seiya Go Shun'You Kensha. Ayame's d…
  • Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay, been really busy lately socialising and training little puppy pants here, she's coming along great. She and Jiro are madly in love, they spend loads of time grooming each other and she likes to sleep on his tail! …
  • Well you sound like you'd suit an Akita and an Akita would suit you, but I think which Akita is the big question! I have 3 Japanese Akita Inu. When I bought my first one, I'll admit, I didn't properly understand the difference (there still isn't en…
  • Thanks everyone! Glad you all like her. She's a little beast! LOL. She's so confident and a really strong personality, she's really loving too she loves giving everyone kisses! Yes I am going to be showing her, acutally she was entered for her fir…
  • Thanks everyone! yukidomari - I agree, they are SO cute when their ears are still down. Unfortunately they were fully up by the time I collected her so I didn't get to see them!
  • I have heard of a dog getting HD due to being severly beaten in quarantine, but I would imagine that is a pretty rare case.
