Will an Akita and a Rottweiler get along?

Answer 1

A word of advice....
Akita's bond to one person for life.
They do NOT like non Akita's.
If you raise the Akita and the Rott together as puppies you may have a chance,but be warned....Akita's will bond to other dogs(with those two breeds,it could be ugly if not dangerous).
Be prepared to spend allot of time with both,especially in the first year!!!

Answer 2

Rotts are more well mannered than they're given credit.
Even though the Akita are more aggressive you can bet
that your Rott will try to get along together better than the akita will. Introduce them in neuteral territory, like at a park. Let them play together before you bring them home together so they have a chance to establish dominance. I'll bet that the Akita will end up the dominant one.
Then make sure they understand YOU are the pack leader!

Answer 3

I have owned a Rottie and by experience she did get along with puppies, but not older dogs. We had Betty, the Rott and Gus the Shih Tzu and she loved him. Not other females usually. She was also raised with a female Chihuhua whom she loved, but any other dog she was openly aggressive with.

Both breeds take a strong person to lead them. You have to be the pack leader and not show any weakness. Both are aggressive animals and if you are not firm with either there is trouble.

A friend of mine owns an Akita and he is very aggressive. I would not blend the two unless they are both pups at the same time and raised together, even then it could be iffy with the breeds of dogs.

Answer 4

Akita's CAN be aggressive, but if the rottweiler is calm and submissive, and the Akita is calm and submissive then they will get along IF you are the pack leader (which means you control them and they aren't the dominant on YOU are ;D) So the just is, if they are both calm submissive dogs they will get along very well if you are the leader! Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

They are particularly aggressive toward other dogs and pets.

Coat: The Akita is a double coat, waterproof breed. The outer coat is harsh, straight, and stands slightly off the body. The under coat is dense, soft, and close to the body. The hair on the head, legs, and ears is short, while the hair on the tail is long and profuse. They typically shed their coat twice a year. The Akita coat colors include pure white, red, sesame, and brindle.
Overview: The Akita originated in Japan. Unchanged for centuries, this breed is considered the national dog of Japan and a natural monument. They were highly prized, revered, and only owned by nobility and aristocracy. They were used in various capacities such as Imperial guards, hunter of bear and boar, and waterfowl retrieving. They are the largest of the Spitz-type breeds. Today, the Akita is a faithful companion, therapy dog, and guard dog.
Character: Akitas are large, sturdy, and muscular. The paws are webbed which makes them excellent swimmers. They have a reserved manner and carry themselves with great dignity. They are powerful and alert, responsive and courageous. The Akita is a noble and dominating breed.
Temperament: The Akita is highly intelligent, fearless, and spontaneous. They thrive on human companionship. They are extremely loyal to their family and those they know, but are wary and aloof of strangers. They are exceedingly protective of their family, their territory, and of their food. They are particularly aggressive toward other dogs and pets. They will get along with older, very well behaved children within their family unit, but will not tolerate children they don't know. They make excellent guard dogs, although they are not excessive barkers. They do not do well if left alone for extended periods of time. For this reason, they are not well suited for a two career family. They require an inordinate amount of attention. Akitas are not recommended for the novice dog owner, or owners who are placid and submissive.
Care: The Akita requires significant grooming with a firm bristle brush on a daily basis. Bathing should only be done when absolutely necessary with a mild shampoo to prevent stripping the coat of the natural oils. It is important to keep the hair on the bottom of the paws trimmed to preserve their characteristic of webbed feet. They are prone to hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, eye problems, and lupus.
Training: The Akita requires intensive and extensive socialization and obedience training. It is absolutely imperative that they know who their master is or they will take charge. They do not respond to harsh or heavy-handed training methods. They do best with patience, kindness, firmness, fairness, and consistency. Akitas typically prefer to be clean and is easier to housetrain than many other breeds.
Activity: The Akita does not require an over-abundance of exercise. They are moderately active indoors. They enjoy play sessions with their family or other family activities. However, they will become bored and destructive if left alone for extended periods of time either inside or outside. They enjoy a daily walk, but it is vitally important they are very securely leashed and kept from encountering other dogs. They are not well suited for apartment dwellings and do best in a home with a large securely fenced yard.
Ownership: If you are looking for Akita puppies for sale from reputable Akita breeders or to adopt a n Akita from a n Akita rescue then make sure you understand as much about the dog breeds you are interested in as you can. Every puppy breed is different. Begin your research by reading the breed information about the Akita puppy above.

Answer 6

Any breed of dog is capable of getting along with any other breed. It all depends on how the dogs are raised, trained, and socialized. It is also better if one is male and one is female, there is less chance of fighting that way.
I have 14 dogs at the moment and they all get along fine. I have 2 Rotts, a Pit, a Chow, Chihuahua, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, etc. About half male, half female, and they all also get along with my cats, my turtle, and my horse.
Just ce careful when introducing them, you may want to consult a professional trainer to assist you.

Answer 7

Sure, they are both "working" dogs. Both are very smart breeds. For a best match up, choose a younger opposite sex for the new dog, i.e. you have a male, so get a younger female. That makes for less rivalry during the adjustment period.

I have know several people with both breeds, and if you raise them correctly, they will not be vicious dogs as some people will tell you. They are dogs that had a purpose for their breed, they were protectors, so that is where I guess the "vicious" came in.

Answer 8

it depends on what nature they come from and how they react to other dogs

Answer 9

as long as they are both socialized and introduced correctly

Answer 10

It is highly unlikely. Check your local vet's advise.
