has anyone got a japenese akita dog?

Answer 1

yep!!!! and will not own anything else but, challenging breed but worth every ounce of time and effort. The most devoted family dog we have ever had.

Answer 2

I have an akita/german sheperd and he wouldnt hurt a fly but, every dog, not just an Akita, should be bite inhibited. He should be so reluctant to bite, that he does so only under the direst of circumstances. Even then, he should bite only once, and damage from the bite should be very minimal. Second, an Akita should be accepting of authority, that is, he should be submissive. Between and within breeds, the degree of submissiveness varies. The Akita's independent nature may well modify its willingness to cooperate. Third, an Akita should like children. Just as retrievers like sticks and balls, this breed should have an affinity for children. Fourth, an Akita should be accepting of non-threatening strangers, regardless of whether the stranger is friendly or neutral. Fifth, an Akita should have enough confidence to be at ease an unfamiliar setting. Sixth, an Akita should be trainable. He should be willing and able to learn behaviors that he repeats reliably. Seventh, an Akita should stable around strange noises. Eighth, to some degree, an Akita should have an independent nature. Ninth, an Akita should have an inhibited nature. He should not respond to stressful situations by becoming increasingly excited or agitated. Tenth, faced with a threat, an Akita should be protective of their family. Eleventh, an Akita should be accepting of other dogs. BITE INHIBITION Bite inhibition is a concept that, as a dog owner, you know about, but you probably pay it little attention unless and until your dog bites. Most dogs are inhibited from biting. That's what makes them desirable companions. A few people seem not to mind living with an animal that might inflict serious injury on them. They buy lions, tigers, wolves, and dogs that are likely to bite, often and hard. They probably also like bungee jumping and parachuting. While these all have a large element of risk to the individual who likes living on the edge, only the first presents a hazard to others.

Answer 3

I had one, but that ended very tragically. They are great dogs for the right person. You need to be an experienced and strong owner, they are a very dominate breed. I got one that I tried to turn around but it ended bad, after a year the dog attacked my mother viciously and unprovoked. She was seriously injured and my county government ordered the dog destroyed due to the attck being vicious and unprovoked. The dog was not raised right and I was too late toturn him around. I still like the breed but not for everyone. I also know there are some insurance companies that will cancel your home owners insurance if you have one.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Ive got two and they ARE NOT banned under the act.

I aggree in the comment about experienced handling, you really have to be confident as they have a dominant trait.
NOT an ideal first dog, if you dont do things correctly youll end up regretting it.

Gorgeous dogs.
