The posts about Akita aggression draw a lot of attention on this blog.

I’m glad though that many people post comments about their experiences with Akita’s that convince that these dogs are great pets (or can be after training). You do need to know what you’re dealing with. Don’t buy an Akita in an impulse.

To show that these indeed are great pets once properly trained and raised (and remember.. when you don’t have the energy or time to raise an Akita to be a well trained house pet than please get yourself a gold fish ).

I’m asking everyone that reads this blog and has raised an Akita to share their experiences. You can leave comments or register as a guest blogger to post an article. Don’t be shy. We can all learn from your experiences and it’s always a joy to read funny or heartwarming stories too.

I just stumbled upon this great YouTube movie that shows an Akita and a Husky playing with two children.
The Akita looks like a giant fluffy dinosaur compared to these kids, but he is o so sweet.

Do you know of a clever way to feed your dog cheese without the use of your hands?

No cheating allowed!

Watch this (very short) movie and discover Owen’s solution to the question.

The result of this: They have become best friends within 10 seconds!
But Owen almost immediately went to the bathroom to brush his teeth

But please children, I have to warn you: do NOT try this at home!!
Not all dogs are as cute as Kensho.
Never let children play with dogs without the supervision of an adult.
