Oh, first, welcome to the forum!
I normally like to see someone adopt a rescue Akita, but in your situation, if you do decide to get an Akita, bringing home a male pup might be easier.
You mentioned that your St. Bernard loves people more than dogs - does she still get along with other dogs that she meets? It can take quite a bit of time for the dogs to get used to eachother. You'll
need to make sure that you don't just throw them in together, and that's that.
If you do purchase from a breeder, PLEASE do a lot of research. There are a lot of "breeders" out there that aren't worth a ____.
Where do you live?
