# Kahlo Thread/Spam [update 5/9/09] Well, things are coming along for this big girl. She's pretty good with her basic commands, and in the house she has about a 98% recall...outside, she has basically a 3% recall (long road ahead with that command!). We've been going to our area dog parks every day for our daily AM walk and it's been… ## Thread In Photo / Video Gallery (Akita Inu) · started by Darwin67 · 25 replies - **Category:** [Photo / Video Gallery (Akita Inu)](https://nihonken.org/community/c/photo-video-gallery-akita-inu) - **Forum:** [Nihon Ken Forum](https://nihonken.org/community/) ## Darwin67 · 2009-03-25T15:48:08.000Z Well, things are coming along for this big girl. She's pretty good with her basic commands, and in the house she has about a 98% recall...outside, she has basically a 3% recall (long road ahead with that command!). We've been going to our area dog parks every day for our daily AM walk and it's been a blast! It's funny to watch her get pooped out! Today, she actually ran to the entrance and was like, okay..time to go home! She even figured out the latch to open the gate...yet again living up to her moniker of "escape artist". ## KFontaine04 · 2009-03-25T15:52:45.000Z She is so big and fluffy. I just want to HUG her! Great spam! ## batman · 2009-03-25T15:54:20.000Z what kind of dog is that? ## maxwells · 2009-03-25T15:58:27.000Z What a big Floofer dog! Looks like she's settling in nicely. :) ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-03-25T16:04:30.000Z batman - she's an Akita. She looks marvelous! So happy, and home! I bet you both are enjoying every minute! ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-03-25T16:16:35.000Z Are we sure she isn't an Akita mix? ## Ryu · 2009-03-25T16:18:35.000Z She's so cuddly looking!! ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2009-03-25T16:20:46.000Z I would have guessed Akita/Chow Chow. Whatever she is she is a lovely ball of fluff. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-03-25T16:25:39.000Z She looks like the Am. Akita version of this guy: http://www.nihonken.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2281 ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2009-03-25T16:48:02.000Z Yeah she does! ## Darwin67 · 2009-03-25T16:52:07.000Z She's a full on American Akita...kinda like the Shiba, there is a recessive gene where you will occasionally get a pup w/ long hair...although in the Akita, it's far more frequent. I'm kinda partial to long coated dogs and I love Akita's so this was a match made in heaven! The long coat is an automatic dq in the dog ring. I guess there is quite a dedicated following of long coated Akitas who wish the various Kennels would accept the LC.... ## sunyata · 2009-03-25T16:55:49.000Z She is beautiful. And looks to be right at home! ## Kaddy · 2009-03-25T16:57:43.000Z Such a big fluff ball!!!! I love her :o) ## lingmorton · 2009-03-25T21:56:20.000Z i want to give her a big fat hug and squeeze! very pretty girl :) ## baanton · 2009-03-25T23:02:08.000Z Kahlo is absolutely adorable ... no other words for her... Keep the spam coming! ## TheWalrus · 2009-03-25T23:03:23.000Z Beautiful big girl! Absolutely LOVE big fluffy pups. My first dog after getting back in Japan was a Newfie mix, he was absolutely wonderful. Course I didn't hunt back then, and thinking about taking a big furball into the tangled mountains here in Japan makes my head spin :P ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-03-26T09:18:58.000Z Interesting. I was unaware that Akitas had that same recessive gene. She is a cute girl for sure. ## lindsayt · 2009-03-28T02:45:44.000Z She is gorgeous. ## JackAkita · 2009-05-06T18:50:03.000Z She looks like a bear !! she is beautiful!!! ## the_november_rain · 2009-05-06T18:58:07.000Z Sweet face! ## Chanur Akita · 2009-05-06T19:02:18.000Z I love the last pic, she's so sweet. She's look like a big plush! Long fur Akita are so beautyful! ## Darwin67 · 2009-05-09T22:56:53.000Z Aftera a very long week of pouring rain, cold weather and a banged up knee we finally got a respite with 72-degree weather and a bright blue sky! Yard work be damned, we decided to head out to the park where we got to mingle with the dogs a bit, but mostly hung out in the nature reserve. Washington is slated for 2 days of sun before the rains start up again....sigh....best get to the yard now! At least she's willing to now get her feet wet! Lake Sammamish....love this lake...so many fond memories of growing up here! Love this pic...throw the stick mom...throw the stick! ....she didn't throw the stick! ## Kaddy · 2009-05-09T23:03:12.000Z What a beautiful lake!!!!! We also got blessed with sun for two days before the rain comes back. We headed downtown for the HS doggy dash, but they were tearing down as we arrived (apparently sleeping in isn't a good thing to do!) We did get to meet a few doggies at Saturday market, which was nice. Of course juggling a Keiko and trying to take pictures didn't go quite as I had hoped... I mostly have shots of random people and ground/sky... nothing worth posting :o/ I'm glad you got to enjoy a great day outside!!! :oD BTW love the air time in that 4th pic! ## Darwin67 · 2009-05-10T01:51:00.000Z THE DD sounds fun!! Ours was this weekend too, but my knee is still pretty sore :( I love the PDX Saturday Market, I've been to it a few times and it's tough to tear me away. Enjoy the sun cos next week looks nasty all over again...Grrrrr...just ONCE I'd like to have a PNW spring were we get more sun than rain!! ## lindsayt · 2009-05-10T05:22:41.000Z I had no idea there was a doggie dash up here, poo. Your girl is so pretty, looks like she was taking advantage of the weather as well. Pretty park. I love the Saturday Market (always so many cute dogs-the owners, not so much). Well, that's good to know I have 1 more day to mow the yard-the dogs are starting to get lost in all the grass. ## Leonberger (admin) · 2009-05-10T08:11:59.000Z Kahlo is such a pretty girl!
