New Akita owner here. Glad I found an active board with some fellow Akita lovers. Bear and I are inseparable. Posted some pics in my hello thread.
Had a few questions for current/former Akita owners:
How much socialization do you guys think is enough to curb dog aggressiveness in an Akita? I try to get him out there as much as possible and he has only growled at 1 other dog (My roomate's Border Collie) when the BC bit him for taking his ball (You NEVER take Gary's ball lol). He and our APBT are best friends already and all they do is run around and snort at each other. I think growing up with those 2 has helped him a lot, but I still get him out there to meet other pups.
What do you guys feed your Akita pups? He doesn't like the Science diet too much without a sweetener in it such as a broth of some sort.
Last question: Can anyone else hear their Akita fart from halfway across the house? lol
