He is in the best condition of any puppy I have received, Emilie clearly puts a LOT of effort and thought into her breeding program! Kahuna is very sweet, he is a bit fearful of me, but otherwise he is GREAT. He just sat in the seat and watched out the window the whole drive home, it was very cute. Here are some pics from this morning of Kahuna! ---- ## KFontaine04 · 2008-11-05T16:15:22.000Z I actually have tears in my eye, I am so happy for you guys and Kahuna is amazingly gorgeous! ## _dlroberts · 2008-11-05T16:19:10.000Z *gushes* I love the fourth to last one. He's all puffy and looking like a macho dude. :-) He is strickingly handsome. I'm so glad things are working out well for him and the pack. :-) ## Nekopan · 2008-11-05T16:19:26.000Z I didn't realize he would be so big already! It looks like he's the same size as Kona, maybe bigger. He's gorgeous, Brad. I'm so happy for you guys! ## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-11-05T16:20:46.000Z He is a really good looking dog and seems to be doing really well after such a long trip. ## ShikokuSpirit (moderator) · 2008-11-05T16:21:01.000Z I'm gonna be late for work but I just wanted to say, congrats on bringing him home! He is a very sweet looking boy. Adorable! ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-11-05T16:27:31.000Z wow. I'm speechless at how stunning of a dog that is! CONGRATS! ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-11-05T16:34:18.000Z OMG! Finally!!! :D LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Wow, just, wow. GORGEOUS! What a big pup! He looks like he is bigger than Kona! :) ~ ## sujewel · 2008-11-05T16:55:18.000Z His ears are almost all up!!! I wasn't expecting that! He is quite a bit bigger than I expected him to be. And his face has changed since the last picture. I can't believe how quickly he's growing. I'm with Dave. I love that studly pic. His chest is high and proud. And I really love how he's approaching Lani. ## Chanur Akita · 2008-11-05T17:01:17.000Z Hoooooooooo my lil'boy!!!!!!!! I'm so happy to see him, he looks great in the pack. He missed me, but I'm happy to see how he's good on your pack! I love the pic with Kahuna and Lani, so cute! ^_^ Thanks for the pics!!! ## sujewel · 2008-11-05T18:00:21.000Z Emilie, I have to say, you've done a beautiful job with Akita! Kahuna and Lani are just beautiful!!! ## sunyata · 2008-11-05T18:31:34.000Z Dave, I agree. That is my favourite picture also! Brad and Jen: CONGRATS! I am so glad that both Kahuna and Luytiy are fitting in with your pack. You guys are awesome, and your dogs prove it. :) ## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-11-05T18:50:56.000Z He is simply gorgeous! (And this comes form a guy that isn't crazy about brindle :-) ) He seems to be in great shape and seems pretty confident. Félicitations, Emilie! ## Jack Bimble · 2008-11-05T19:49:26.000Z WOW!! Hes absolutely gorgeous. I love pics 3,5,6, and 8 and his coloring is amazing I love it so much. ## the_november_rain · 2008-11-05T20:52:20.000Z He is sooo awesome and precious!!!!!!!!!!! Congrads Brad and Jen, you guys must be so happy. ## MommyofNiko · 2008-11-05T21:19:56.000Z He is amazing and I agree he is much bigger than I thought...and he is about to have some UP ears! ## santuzza · 2008-11-05T21:30:20.000Z He's so beautiful. Congrads on the new pack member! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-11-05T23:33:53.000Z Thanx guys, he really is stunning - more so even in person. He looks like he is in a tiger suit or something. ---- He has fit in nicely, he is a busy little guy. He is a bit skittish with noises and fast movement but he seems to be doing better as time passes. He is a little fearful of my, not sure why, but I just walk around with treats and treat him when he comes by. Kahuna and Fuji, Kona, Kaia, Luytiy, and Loa do very well together. Hilo is fine but he gets a bit rough in play so we have them separated unless both Jen and I are out there. Lani is pretty weirded out with everything, first having to be here with some stranger while we were gone, then we show up with a huge CO and then I leave and come back with a little Akita pup. then today we are very sleepy and I'm sure the dogs have noticed that. Also Ahi is being a real bitch since she is in her crate and injured. So I think Lani and Kahuna will take a little adjusting before they are 100%. The weather here has been kinda hectic too, we had a crazy winter storm pass today with very strong winds, so that has thrown all the pups off too. ---- We are so happy to finally have Kahuna here - he is EXACTLY what we wanted! ---- ## asia · 2008-11-05T23:40:23.000Z He is amazing!! I can't say it enough, you have the most beautiful pack. I am so happy things are going well! Hopefully Ahi will mend soon and be a happier girl. ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-11-05T23:48:09.000Z He's beautiful, absolutely beautiful ## mike_t · 2008-11-06T00:02:30.000Z I'm not really an akita guy, but his really is quite striking!! ## baanton · 2008-11-06T00:25:48.000Z Kahuna is absolutely beautiful, and sounds like he is fitting in well with the pack! Thanks for keeping us up to date on the doggie changes! Glad you had a safe series of trips and everyone is home again (or for the first time in their new home)... Looking forward to more news on the Anderson doggie front, and more pics of the beautiful doggies! ## DLW · 2008-11-06T05:03:55.000Z Oh! he's beautiful!! I love the brindles. He certainly is a very good looking fellow. So how many does that make in the pack now? I lost count. All I have to say is God bless you. Or maybe he already has, with all those doggies to love you. I noticed that most Akita on this forum are of the japanese type. Doesn't anyone like the American type? Just curious, not a big deal. ## Chanur Akita · 2008-11-06T06:45:59.000Z Brad, it's normal if Kahuna is a bit fearful of you: Kahuna prefer women to contact.... (He's like his father Achiko!! hihihi) Leave him time to be confident with you: Kahuna love to play with human, so play a lot with him!! ^_^ ## kwyld · 2008-11-06T08:56:00.000Z His brindle coat has to be one of the best I've ever seen. His face is so cool, it looks like he has white eyebrows. That's great that everyone is getting along at this point (except for Ahi, but that's to be expected because she needs to be kept quiet and wants to get out and play with everyone). I think him and Hilo are going to be doing some major sumo wrestling in that house! They are going to be great buddies. ## Sarako · 2008-11-06T09:49:27.000Z It's strange to see Kahuna so far from us. He grew up a lot since I last saw him... ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-11-06T15:26:32.000Z Today Kahuna seems a lot more comfortable. I have started letting him out of his crate and giving him his food so he is warming up to me. :o) Emilie - You are right, he SUPER playful, he really likes to play with Luytiy! <- He just jumps on him, it's really cute! ---- ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-11-06T15:33:11.000Z They may be bonding too as the two new kids in school. Like "hey they are still suspicious of you too huh? Lets play!" ## KFontaine04 · 2008-11-06T15:33:18.000Z Oh Brad, we need a video of Kahuna jumping on Luytiy...PLEASE! ## Chanur Akita · 2008-11-06T17:03:54.000Z Ho good idea! a video!!!! :-)) --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
