i am really supprised to see all the negativity surrounding Akita's,
the Akita is a noble dog, in fact the king of all dogs and must be treated as an equal, i believe that nurture is very important in large breeds and the rewards are massive.
too many people buy Akita's because they're cute, just remember that the Akita-inu has a long history with man, there was even a special language used when talking to, or about an Akita in ancient japan during Emporer Senka's reign which i think denotes the Akita's position as top dog.
i hope too many people aren't alarmed by the scaremongering this page seems to be suffering from and are put off the opportunity to share their lives with such a magnificent animal, and yes, i do own an Akita and fortunately i dont see any of the traits described in my dog. if anybody has got any questions please feel free to ask, if i can help i will.
