    We adopted a Chow at our local shelter a little more than a year ago, he’s 8, and whoever owned him before did a wonderful job. He’s so well mannered, cuddly, and loves attention. He’s gentle with children and small animals. A cat came up to me for pets on a walk the other day and he gave her no mind. Just about every Chow stereotype there is he’s the opposite.

    In my opinion, there's no such thing as a "aggressive" breed. Every single dog is normal and tolerant of other animals with proper socialization in puppyhood. After that, it will take more work and will not always be possible to rehabilitate and socialize an adult dog. So yeah, these dogs are just an example of what any dog truly is when handled properly - a good boy/girl!

    A family member had an Akita, and because of a house fire, he lived with us for a time while the house was repaired. Morpheus (or Morf as everyone called him) was a big teddy bear. Alert, but quiet, just the sight of him made people afraid, but he was completely approachable even with strangers. The sad part is that the larger breads don't live long enough. Morph began walking in circles and wanted to lie down but couldn't. He was eventually put to sleep and it was a tragic time for so many members of the family, me included. I've had both dogs and cats. If a cat is healthy, it may live twice the age of dogs, but we've had to put a couple of them down, too, and it's been equally difficult losing them. But, pets bring such a joy into our lives that, for me, the joy outlives the sorrow.

    I like that she stopped flexing her jaw as soon as your hand got near. She's trying to get the happy hoodie off of her, or at least move it somewhere more comfortable, but clearly _does not_ want to hurt or attack anyone. It's purely personal discomfort similar to what we'd do if our clothes were uncomfortable.

    Anything worth having takes effort and responsibility. I've had Rottweilers mostly and the story is the same. People might doubt it,but if you look at dog bite fatalities they surpass the #1 spot as that's taken by a type and a mix of said type of a dog. Not a uniform or distinct breed. Long and short of it is I wish more people put in the effort like you did. Large and capable breeds aren't accessories, fashion statements or status symbols. Cheers

    I think most Japanese breeds are a real pain to deal with. I've heard that shibas and tosas are incredibly difficult. I've got a history dealing with dangerous/aggressive/problem dogs of varying breeds and mixes, and one of the only times I've ever felt truly nervous and imperiled one on one with a single dog was a ~110lb Akita named Kuro that was owned by a reclusive old drunk who was losing his mind. The poor dog was not socialized at all and very protective of the owner (who by then had no hard and fast concept of reality). Sad situation overall, but the dog ended up alright and I didn't get bit too bad.

    The owners properly trained her unlike many owners. I have a customer that has a mixed breed (he's a mutt of some kind), fairly large boy and when they come in he is always shocked because apparently he jumps up on people and drags his owner around a bit. I'll come out from behind the counter to say hello and the moment he even looked ready to just I'll just give a little "Uh!" and point a finger at my feet and he'll sit right down at my feet to get his pets. It confuses the heck out of his owner because he doesn't listen to him. I just told him he has to train him better. I only see him a few times a week at best but he already knows to listen to my commands unlike his owner.

She would fall asleep with her buddies because she felt safe, and she was. Best babysitters ever!❤️

    I got to know a few Akitas living in Japan as a Navy brat, the male, Bear was huge, but very good around mostly everyone. One young kid liked to stop and antagonize him every morning. Until one morning when he got loose and chased that kid for a long way nipping at his rear all the way. Needless to say, He never did it again. Bear was actually scared of pigeons, cool dog.

    As in the title, it's great to challenge potential future/current Akita owners with the fact that the grooming involved to care properly for your dog is significant. I would say that this kind of research is important for all dog owners. We recently got a Kerry Blue Terrier and the grooming is probably ten times more involved than for our last dog, an Irish Terrier. We knew it would be more involved but maybe not to this extent, so we now try to inform all potential future owners. Gotta love our doggies!

    I didn’t know that Akitas were considered “difficult” dogs until I did research about them. A family friend lived with us for a bit when I was 10, and he had an Akita and a Malamute. They were so well behaved, I could walk them both at the same time (which likely wasn’t a great idea in hindsight). I remember them so fondly, and also remember how incredibly dense both of their coats were.

    They are inclined to be dog aggressive and have a fairly high prey drive (though nowhere near that of a Husky). From my experience, they seem to naturally dislike same sex dogs quite a bit more. They seem to get a bad rap. They are likely not much different than a german shepherd though far less obedient. They are super sneaky smart… play dumb but they know what is going on.

We had a female Akita around female dogs and she gets snarly and mean but doesn't outright attack though she has bit out at them. Around male dogs? Nothing. Playful biting which we don't like and stop, but it isn't aggressive. Akitas have a few herding/protective instincts arounds its people too. Overall a good dog, but I can see when left unchecked by bad owners how this breed can get a bad rep real fast.

    @@JohnnyShagbot Purebred dogs have been bred to have certain behavioral and personality traits. Akitas were originally bred as temple guard dogs and bear hunters. They form strong attachments to certain people and can be aggressive to others. They’re not attached to property like German shepherds. Anyone looking to adopt or buy an akita should be aware that they can be dangerous if you’re not careful or if you get bad blood. They’re very strong, too, so if they do become mean, they can do serious damage. My parents had two akitas. One was a great dog… as long as you weren’t a raccoon or woodchuck. The other murdered a family cat and tried to murder two others. The attack was out of the blue. She showed no aggressive or overly playful behavior toward any cats and then suddenly turned and attacked them without provocation.

    @@klarag7059 They’re a Japanese breed. I accidentally used the term “temple” when I meant “palace”. The upper class used them as personal guard dogs, which they are very good at. If your akita bonds to you, anyone who messes with you is likely to get bit. They can be bad with other animals, strangers, and small children, so they’re not a general purpose pet dog like a Labrador retriever. They’re super smart, too, smart enough to be bratty. My parents’ good akita would hang around us outside and then use his ninja skills to get out of sight. If you called for him, he’d stand still and only come if he knew you could see him. He didn’t want to come. He wanted to sniff around the property (5 acres). The problematic female akita was surrendered to the local humane society under the stipulation that she be placed in a home with no other animals and no children under 12 and that they tell us if she was in danger of being put down. They never contacted us, so we assume she found a person. She would have made an excellent dog for a single person who likes to go running. Nobody would mess with a woman jogging with an akita, at least no smart person. On a side note, that personal guarding behavior is why I believe OJ Simpson is guilty. If a stranger had attacked Nicole, her akita would have demolished them. It had to be someone the dog knew very well.
