Akitas



It's very rarely the dog, you do get the odd radgey just like humans, but 99 times out of 100 it's due to the dog having not been conditioned and socialised properly by owners who want them to act hard around those who don't know the dog, barely realising the ticking time bomb they've created. I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback for 14 years who was a big cuddly lump but was like that because she'd been trained very extensively and was kept regularly exercised.
Mind I wouldn't have liked to have been someone trying to break into my house but she would sit and let anyone stroke her when we went to the park/out because she was confident and didn't feel nervous or vulnerable about her place in the pack. Dogs need to feel that; it's what makes them thrive imho.
 
Never had a problem with an Akita. Worse breeds are the Husky types (everyone I have seen has been on the lead-even on the beach) and Staffs. When the owner says it’s ok he’s harmless mate you know his dog will attack yours.
 
We’re considering dog adoption and there’s dozens of these akitas available. Not as many as staffie and staffie crosses mind you. Loads of greyhounds and lurches anarl. Not many labs or retrievers yet they’re the most popular dogs in the U.K. iirc......hmmm.
I’m starting to lean towards a bulldog atm.

This. I have always said man against dog in a one on one the man should always come out on top if (if ) he keeps his bottle, all the dog has is teeth.. With an akita and other mastiff breeds I'm not so sure, the weight and mass of the animal makes it about evens in a strength contest...and they're double hard bastards that don't pack in with broken bones.
I love you've thought about a man and a dog having a dust up.

How many dwarves do you think you’d be able to take on?

Surely, the man would be better smashing his bottle and using it as a stabbing implement?

I'm thinking about 4, anymore than 4 they get tricky.
Also depends on the skill level I mean if they're them Mexican wrestling dwarves probably 2 would be a handful.

Probably struggle to do an akita with a bottle superficial cuts ain't going to discourage it, probably just make it madder. :evil::eek::lol:

Had a Japanese akita for 12 years, he was two when we got him. My two kids 12 and 10 years old grew up with him, until we had to have him put down a couple months back. A more beautiful and placid dog you're unlikely to find.
 
There are no bad dogs, just bad owners
This is commonly trotted out on the SMB.

It may be largely true, but do you not think it’s possible that just as all animals including humans have individual natures, that it may be possible that through genetics or whatever some dogs are just bad tempered bastards?

What if I said, there are no bad people just bad parents?

Some people are just utter wankers, whether through poor breeding, upbringing, education, environment or all of the above.

Do you not think it’s possible that there are the same kind of utter wankers in the dog world?
 
people need to do bit research when choosing their dogs

these dogs like to dominate and be pack leader , they become increasing frustrated if not using up their energy and they like cold climate (not central heating on)
This.

Regardless of how good an owner is dogs have been bred for 100's sometimes 1000's of years to have certain characteristics. Training doesn't negate that. Akita's can be a twat. A quick look at wiki will tell you that.
Akita (dog) - Wikipedia

No matter how much you train a dog you can't change its inherent nature. Just look at Jack Russell's, they've got a proper Napoleon complex going on and are f***ing fearless little bastards that'll often start fights with the biggest dog in the park. I'll never forget the day mine came sprinting across Streatham Common with 3 Dobermans and a Rottweiler chasing it. Fucknars what it'd said to them but they weren't very happy about it. :lol:

Surprise surprise, Jack Russell Terrier - Wikipedia
"Fearless" "intelligent" "can sometimes lead to trouble involving larger animals". Yup, sounds like my Bonnie alreet, the little twat.

Husky’s are kept on the lead because they are known to bolt, nout to do with them being aggressive. I’m not entering into the staff debate, anyone who says they are a bad Dog frankly hasn’t got a clue what they are talking about.
