He's a handsome boy ❤😊❤
He’s being good for never having had a bath before. 2 yrs without a bath.✌🏽💚
When you are big, and dangerous, the world looks different.
Can’t understand why tf someone would wait 2 years, seems crazy to me.
@@marcuslarwa9098 I tried that and went two years without a date. Complete coincidence, I’m sure.
I haven't took a bath in 6 years I'm serious I take showers instead
@@woodside4lifeLOL
Honestly, considering this was his first bath, he handled this extremely well; very courageous and forgiving. It's clear that he's using his brains to think through the process, and making good decisions.
better than most husky xD
I had a dog like this, it was a lot of work, ten years together, every vet visit had to be the end of the day with no dogs, guests couldn’t just drop by and walk in, walking around the pet store or tractor supply was wayyyy out of the question, other dogs not a chance, it was a big change but let me say this, i have never felt the loyalty that dog gave me, the love the dog gave me, that dog gave me every ounce of himself, and i’d sell everything i own right now to do it again, to see him again, he was my soulmate. Most ppl go for designer breeds and thats fine but i promise you there is a dog or breed of dog that is just for you. If you ever do anything with certainty in your life make it that, find that dog, your dog.
❤❤❤❤❤
I said goodbye to my fierce protector a month ago and I'm still stricken with grief. He was my protector, my confidante, and most importantly, my buddy. Every time I pass by his ashes I say hi and give him a pat, just like I always used to do. I miss him every day. I can't wait to see him again on the other side.
why you want loyalty in this current society and circumstances? loyalty is good when you are at war, when youa re in a constant fight for survival, why you need a guardian who can kill when you work 9 to five and watch tv ?
@@danielgheorghe3187it’s more about the bond , plus dogs are better than people that alone
@@cruisinforaboozin bro I can´t imagine the feeling, you will see him again
It's really great that you emphasize the importance of genetics. Too many people go "there are no bad breeds (true), only bad training", but there are inborn behaviour tendencies and owners need to be aware. I walk an English setter: he has never been a hunting dog, but when he sees a large bird, he instinctively points (goes into the gundog signal pose with one paw up). I also know lots of collies that instinctively herd (children if there are no sheep around!).
Exactly. I had a mix of American Akita/Chow and he was the canine equivalent of a serial killer. He attacked a Rottweiler as a puppy (the rotty left a hole in his head you could put a ✏️ in. But the best guard dog ever! ❤
My parents got a new frenchie puppy 3 years ago. Bred for a better physical health by a reputable breeder who has worked tirelessly to improve frenchie lines. Great temper, very social and while a bit stupid, we fell in love with him. We'd take him to the dog park frequently where he played with larger, older dogs and he never met a single mean dog or experienced any trauma. He also frequently had minor play dates with his siblings and half-siblings (same father). Cut to him reaching sexual maturity and suddenly all of his good socialisation fell through and he became same-sex aggressive, especially with younger sexually mature males. I still take him to the dog park and I take him off-leash in other safe places but I am 120% vigilant and I always, always get him back on leash if I spot another dog regardless of its size or breed. We're slowly working on the same-sex aggression in a way that works for Oscar. Apparently (!) his dad is also very same-sex aggressive and generally very territorial and I guess that just happened to surface in Oscar and another of his half-brothers that we saw on a regular basis. The brother has stopped being social with other dogs entirely (the owners honestly should never have had a dog but that's none of my business) and it's only because if my own determination to give our frenchie as many positive new encounters with intact males that Oscar hasn't regressed even further. **TLDR genetics matter in more than one way. You *need* to ask your breeder about both parents and you *need* to train your dog as soon as you get it. Get it desensitized and socialized. There are no bad dogs, just misunderstood situations and needs.** Oscar is never going to carry on his line, despite his healthy physique and otherwise great temperament just for that tiny flaw. It's not a loss to me or my parents and Oscar lives a fulfilling life both on and off-leash, but the possibility is always there and I am alert and hypervigilant.
While that's true, there are also retrievers that don't like playing fetch and collies that don't like herding. Breed can give you an idea of behavior characteristics a dog may be more likely to have, but people need to be ready to work with and properly train the dog they get. I honestly feel like people not properly training and socializing their dogs in general (and as appropriate to the particular dog) is more of a problem than breed. That said, I also think there are breeds like Rotties that have gotten too popular at times, not because they're bad but because they're big, strong, smart dogs that can be destructive if they get bored. Note, that I love Rotties and they can be great dogs, but they need training.
One of my friends owns a Border Collie and they ended up buying a bunch of geese so the Collie would have something to herd, which he did, all day long, every day. I think the geese they have are pretty much the fastest running geese in the world, which is going to be cool if goose racing ever becomes a thing/
@@jeffmead4670Gee. Sounds like a wonderful life for the geese... 🙄
"I don't want to force him" Khan, "Yeah, good luck with that".
Khan: "It's a good thing you don't want to because you darn well CAN'T!"
GWTD: perfect combination of expertise, firmness, and sweet talking. Kudos to Khan and his owners. He looked very happy in the cold winter air.
@@t23001 Don't forget treats!
Ha Ha 🤣 brilliant ❤️
I had 2 Akitas that I walked off lease alone at night in one of the worse neighborhoods in NJ. Nobody bothered us and they obeyed commands flawlessly. No I can’t take credit for their training, I got them that way. They were great dogs still I miss them, even though that was 40 years ago.
😢its hard ,, best wishes from Durham England
I believe it! My male is 2, he’s my first Akita. I could have done much better training him in hindsight, yet he still impresses me almost daily with his overall behavior, diligence, and discipline.
I had a neighbor that would walk her 2 Akitas off-leash at night. I was always so jealous, I could never do that with my shiba.
We dog owners repeat the mistake into believing one's dog will not bite another animal or person. Trust me. It will be irrelevant how much love the dog has for you - and the strength of your bond - we still have to respect other people and leash one's "best behaved" dog. Some people may have $10,000 in the bank to spare in case your well-behaved dog harms another dog or human. However, the potential for harm to you, the owner, is always there too. In summary, please leash you dogs unless they are roaming in your property as small as a patio or backyard.
How irresponsible can you be?
I'm a proud father of an Akita myself and he's a very gentle boy. Likes to take over the bed like he's king of the hill and loves to play with his ball, or donut. Adopted him a few months after he was born. Poor thing was separated from his sister. It's been 3 or 4 years now since then. Does well with other dogs, children and even people. He..only really gets into a squabble when the opposing animal attacks first, which is a clear cut case of self-defense. He'll jump up on kids and lick'em, but he doesn't realize his own strength, so sometimes I gotta remind him that some other lifeforms aren't as strong as he is, whether big or small. He's on alert when he hears other sounds from outside or other people he doesn't recognize. Other than that, he's truly a really amazing dog. His potential is sky high into the clouds, so I called him Nymbus when he was a puppy.
That's a great name!
@@Rogue_Trooper970 For sure. He recently got out of the gate and visited the woman two houses down. He knows how to pick'em.
I have a question. I had an Akita and he had something I've never another dog have. He was catlike. Meaning, you know when you pick up a dog, they are stiff. When you push against their body, they offer resistance. But not my akita. Picking him up was like picking up a cat. That's the only dog I saw this in.
@@burny6666 Alright. What's the question?
@@Aethernium Is your Akita also catlike?
He looks massive but kinda like a giant teddy bear
...or, she's just smaller.
I sure wouldn’t want to walk into his home territory though. I’ve always thought they are gorgeous despite that. And he decided the rubs and blow dryer could be a good thing
@@heldermartins8785I’m pretty sure Vanessa is 4’12, she stated that under one of her videos
That's why they are nicknamed "the bear face dog." 😊
I would approach this dog in the same way as I would a bear... as in nope.
The owners did A good job with him. I’ve never seen an akita stand so still for a bath. He is simply beautiful.❤ stunning, even! 😮
yeah you are a spot on right! I doubt she'd have this dog on her show if it was a badly raised dog. In fact I believe almost all of the dogs she has on her show have great owners.
@hello_I_am_gay you are 100% correct. I remember reading people who had dogs before accidently pick dog that had wolf mix and their lives got turned upside down trying to figure out their dog (they did later and it all worked out well).
@karlwithak. jeez what a self centered parent
@karlwithak.Damn, one would think that the way you put it, you couldn't understand a single word that was said or written to you nor could you understand the point that was being conveyed in either instance. Who cares? You're watching a KZhead video and you're in the comment section. Every engagement is not going to be presented like an English thesis. To expect anything else means you're going to have a bad time and voicing such misdeeds is only going to make you look like the biggest cunt.
*American Akita. Unpopular opinion, but Americans took a perfectly good breed and by trying to make them bigger (because Muuuuricaaaaa), they messed them up.
I grew up with an almost completely golden blond Akita Inu named Old. No.7, after my dad’s drink of choice. My parents got him the same week I was born and I grew up with him as “my” dog. Seven was about half Kahn’s size but definitely lived up to the family/territory protector role as well as the “too smart for his own good” bit. He figured out how to open the gate latch on his inner doggy yard then jumped onto the trash cans and climb them up and over the big outer fence to freedom. Once he was off our property, he metamorphosed from guard dog to neighborhood social butterfly. We’d get calls from friends on the other side of the neighborhood saying they’d seen him trotting down the sidewalk, making friends and playing with neighbor kids. When my dad put an unlocked padlock in the latch, he almost immediately figured out to pop it out. When my dad locked the padlock, Seven went straight Mission Impossible and figured out how to wedge himself between two bushes and use the chain link fence as paw holds to climb the bushes up and over the fence then proceeded on to the trash can steps.
I know exactly what you mean. Our dog Chance was master Houdini. Climbed a 6ft chainlink fence and got into a place that was shutdown to the public some kind of government facility. They let me go in and get him because apparently many people had already tried to catch him. He was very mischievous and always getting out of the yard to go visit the neighborhood dogs. Same thing people would call and say by name Chance was here visiting earlier but he has gone now. We had the name and address of every dog in a 20 mile radius from our house. 😅😂❤ he was quite the character! Thank you for your story. Old #7 and Chance would have likely been best friends
My American Akita is 11. He has had issues with other dogs, but is so gentle and sweet with our family. I have a never been worried about him hurting any of us ever. ❤
I miss Kuma😢
That was my first thought when I saw him 😔
Same😢❤
Kuma?
@@Commander-peepersAnother American Akita that featured on this channel. If I remember right, he passed away some time ago.
Did he die?
I love how calm and supportive you are when working with the dog. Rather than getting frustrated, you showed him what would happen every step of the way and minimized his anxiety.
A great and observant point made--so true!
the dog said no to treats at the end. no way was a dog that big full. must have started getting upset.
😅
That’s how you do it
Almost like you were trained
I had an American Akita, unfortunately he passed 2 years ago during the initial days of invasion towards Kyiv and the massive air raids in our area, he was already weak due to a recent surgery and just couldn't handle the stress of jets and explosions. I will always remember him as the sweetest dog breed I've ever owned, they are extremely calm but affectionate and also independent. There is something heartwarming when this sort of huge and dangerous creature is your best friend always asking for a belly rub. They can be dangerous due to the sheer size, but mostly because they don't bother to bark or in any way show aggression like other dogs - no growl, no display of teeth, nothing. The only time I've seen him act defensive is when on walk a small dog did the small dog thing and tried to bite my big boy, after which the small one disappeared between his jaws almost completely. That was thankfully just a warning and the poor thing wasn't hurt, but I never let small unsocialised dogs close to him after. He also never liked water and would avoid puddles or mud (and our other dog is a golden, just bathing in mud all the time). It's impossible to get that thick fur wet, even when you try really hard, but on the up side they don't stink as much as other dogs so there's little need for a bath in the first place.
Absolutely gorgeous! He looked BRAND NEW when you were done. Great job! Both you and Kahn!😃👍👍
Khan is just absolutely gorgeous. Floofy, sweet face, good natured, yet unbelievably intimidating. I have to admit that even I, a dog loving person who tries to say hello to any dog I meet (with permission, of course), would pause and hesitate near this one. You just don't know about this breed.
A co-worker had one, from a good breeder, since 9 weeks old. He was a big, sweet bear of a dog. Their friend had him (3 years old) for 2 weeks while they were on vacation. He got out, ended up at the dog shelter. The shelter would not allow the friend to take him out of the shelter, even though owners were contacted & verified the information. Their sweet boy got attacked & merely protected himself & the shelter volunteer that was walking him. So he got labeled as a 'Dangerous Dog.' They had to send him to a farm 'Santuary' as an unadoptable animal or have him euthanized. It took them 2 years and around $8,000 in legal fees to get him back. It is pretty bad when the shelter volunteer has to go to court for the dog (HE PROTECTED ME!!!) against the shelter.
Fluffy
He's freaking majestic. What a gorgeous boy he is!
True. Majestic with cute eyes!
Beautiful dog, hard to believe that was his first grooming experience, he did great . You do a great service and they in return respect you..
Kudos for your patience. Thank you for taking care of these beautiful animals.
He's an absolutely handsome boy!
I wonder how this is the most dangerous dog out there? The video title is quite exaggerated, right?
@@RuLeZ1988just because he’s behaving doesn’t mean he isn’t dangerous. So you know how strong a 100lb plus dog is. But because an animal is calm and cute doesn’t mean it isn’t capable of danger. A hibernating brown bear is absolutely adorable, but see what happens if you wake it up😂.
@@disturbedpyro4511 It is a huge dog, but generally this type of dog is not aggressive. For example a bull terrier or bulldog tends to be far more aggressive on average and therefor is more dangerous.
💯
hes a very good bear
That dog was so huge, I kept worrying why you didn't have a muzzle on him . But it turns out he's very docile. I can't believe how calm he was for his first dog groom. Just Wow !! . The dog whisperer. 🐕🐶
Good with humans bad with other dogs. I've known dogs like this. It happens when they're socialized with humans growing up but rarely with other dogs. He a very a very good boy and racist.. lol. Or species-ist.
So how is this the most dangerous dog out there? The video title is quite exaggerated, right?
@@RuLeZ1988 well pitbulls are considered dangerous but there are some very nice pitbulls out there. It's just a stereotype.
@@RuLeZ1988 most likely whoever deems it just looks at history of bad events between all the dogs
@@RuLeZ1988The video literally explained why
He looked gorgeous when you got done with him! I hope his owner(s) liked it, too.
You did a fantastic job! The patience that you showed clearly made the difference in the dog getting a bath! If you think that it's safe, where are you located,for others that would li,e your services! Thanks also for the history lesson of that breed!
I'm on my second Akita, and I can't say enough good things about this dog breed. Like most dogs, they need attention, training and patience. Both are excellent guard dogs, and extremely smart with a very helpful attitude. I do recommend them as house dogs as they do become part of the family and protect everyone inside.
A friend of mine got his chin ripped off by an Akita. He had just been letting it lick him on the face when it suddenly decided to attack. Lovely breed of dog.
@hello_I_am_gay Only the most dangerous of the dangerous breeds are like that, i.e. they give no warning at all before they bite. Apparently Akitas are even more dangerous than I'd thought.
I had 2 akitas for 12 years brother and sister my female was very social and could be around other dogs even by herself my male was not so much he had a natural instinct to be the dominate one every time
I know why you are saying it but I think it's a dangerous thing to remind a dog like an Akita as a house dog. To people like you who obviously have learnt about the breed and put in the attention and training this recommendation is fine but there are too many people who buy a dog as a status symbol buy have no idea what they are buying. They don't have the room, the patience, the time, the money and don't care enough to have a dog like this. Instead they strut around with a ticking time bomb on a leash! It's not only Akitas but the big shepherd dogs like the Caucsian shepherd, the Cane Corso etc. They're all becoming fashionable now the pitbull terrier and XL Bullies are being banned all over the world. Soon the backyard breeders will be selling all of these beautiful big dogs and they'll be the dogs everyone is afraid of- until they too are banned. Don't recommend them - keep them quiet so that responsible owners can continue to love and enjoy them.
Do you have other dogs too? Can they be socialized and trained to get along with other dogs?
Our family had an american akita that lived to be almost 13 years old. Unfortunately he died from a type of cancer. He was the most absolute loving dog ever !!! Loyal, brave, loving, caring...he was an absolute sweetheart.... 3 years have passed and I still think about our good ol' days. He passed away 1 and a half years after my father had passed and for that period of time we could see that something was missing from him (and it wasn't related to him being sick..) Also, this is a breed that will die for his family. Like no joke, they will give their lives for their loved ones
better then humans that's why it's a man's best friend❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. A very difficult combination of family life events to go thru. Take care.
I wonder if they grew up with livestock and their owners consistently, if they would be good livestock dogs up where bears are. I can't imagine a dog successfully fighting off a bear. Would they be trustworthy if raised with sheep or goats or in the house with a small dog breed or cat?
@@RepentfollowJesus well....mine weighed 60 kilograms. Seeing that an average bear weight is somewhere 100+ kg (up to 6-800-1000 kg) I have no doubt that they would have no difficulty in making a bear leave. If they want a fight the Akita will never back down I can tell ou that. Win the fight ? well that is a different answer and it depends on the size of the bear that they encounter. And I also do believe that they could make proper livestock dogs if sufficiently trained in that direction. Just keep in mind that they usually attach 110% to 1 person in family who would be their ultimate master.
Loved your channel for many years! Thanks for highlighting this beauty!!
I have two of these. Both well tempered and get along great with other dogs. Very loyal to the family and aware of strangers
He looked gorgeous after you groomed him, great job and what a magnificent beast he is ❤
Beautiful boy! And so well-behaved for his first ever groom!:) Love getting to know about all the dog breeds and their histories.
I really appreciate educational and wholesome videos. Thank you for creating these videos. Videos I can watch with my child. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I lost you for a while and finally found you. I love to watch you groom the dogs but to learn about them as well.!!!
He reminds me of my Akita “Buster”. What a great and beautiful dog he was. Absolutely fearless in protecting his family from intruders and other dogs.
Yeah OK...😂
I've had 3 American Akitas. They were all incredible. Alerted when strange noises or vehicles came around. Quickly picked up on the sounds of the neighborhood. In fact they did that so well my neighbors also loved having them around.
A friend of mine got his chin ripped off by an Akita just because he was letting it lick him on his face. He had been with the dog numerous times before that. It just suddenly did that with zero warning.
@@thewholetruth5473Do you think perhaps your friend shouldn't have been letting the dog lick his face? What would possess you to allow a dog like an Akita lick your face? As they always say, it's generally the human not respecting the breed that enables these types of awful events to occur. Was the dog put to sleep?
@HWarner a dog does that to me or anyone I care about and its being put to sleep with power tools
@@HWarner Well I think no person should ever let any dog lick their face. People have acquired flesh-eating bacterial infections from dog licks on their face. Anyway, not every person knows about dog breeds, so he had no idea the dog was capable of that. Regardless of whether he was being stupid or not, my point is that a non-dangerous dog doesn't rip a person's chin off just because he let the dog lick his face. Akitas are beautiful and are probably a great breed for certain people. They should only ever be owned by men in my opinion though.
@@HWarner Well this was about 25 years ago and the dog was not put to sleep then because at the time the bite victim was kind of dating the female dog owner. So he didn't want to do anything to her dog. The dog might have been put to sleep though or shot by one of the next people it probably bit.
I had an Akita and he loved everyone. My heart broke when he was 15 and he got cancer. We had to put him down and it was horrific to watch him suffer.
My biggest hope is that my 2 yearold lives another 13 years. But no matter when he dies, it will have been too short.
He's such a handsome dog!! He was so good for his first time and it's very obvious that his owner is a responsible dog owner.
Can't believe you survived this encounter. Stay safe soldier
You earned your stripes grooming the customer so very well. I extend my compliments for the work you did with such a strong beast !
What a stunning dog!!! For his forst bath that went really well. U are a true pro!!
Just had the pleasure of subscribing to you today... thank you for a good smile when I need one.
Handsome boy. My family recently lost our ol boy Kongo a few months ago. He was 11 1/2 yrs old. Was the nicest and friendliest boy ever. Only time he got aggressive was when certain types of people came around. I do miss him dearly.
I have a German shepherd/akita mix, it wasn't a planned litter, but that's besides the point. We did early training, he's excellently well behaved, and introduced him to other dogs and strangers early on. He slowly became more and more protective and weary of other dogs and people. He is extremely lovable and a joy to people who he already trusts, but he has met his limit on people he trusts. We had to come to accept that he wont be able to make friends with other dogs, or meet new people. He is doing what his genes tell him, protect his home and his family. So, when she said they may not like others, there is nothing but truth to that statement. If you are patient and understand the dogs nature, you could end up with the most loyal, loving companion.
He cleaned up nicely and he enjoyed this first time experience exceptional well.
He is such a beautiful dog. He handled his first bath wonderfully!
I grew up with an Akita mix - they are stellar dogs, and require a lot of responsive and kind guidance. One of the trickier aspects of the breed is that they don't display body language as overtly as other breeds, which makes it easy for people who don't know dogs to make a mistake worthy of a correction - and a 100lb dog's correction can be big and scary. These dogs are SO loyal and loving, they will straight up be your best friend. I absolutely love the breed, but they are not for an inexperienced dog owner!
American Akitas: *known for being the most dangerous dog breeds in the world* Khan: 0:05
He's gorgeous! And he was such a good boy. It looked like when you were showering him under his head that he was absolutely loving it.
3:00 glad to hear he has a responsible owner
My husband was almost killed by an akita, our own akita. We had him since he was a wee baby and he was the sweetest boy in the whole wide world. Then one day he just attacked my husband out of nowhere. Tore up his face and throat, somehow missed the carotid. Tore his artery in his bicep and completely mangled his leg, he had to get plastic surgery and get muscle and tissue replaced. Turned out our dog had an infection in his brain, he had shown absolutely no signs of anything until that moment and I thank God that it wasn't one of our toddlers. I miss my dog so much.
Omg… that is terrible! 😮 Never mind the dog - how is your poor husband?! That is absolutely horrible! It sounds like your husband is lucky to be alive! I’m sure that he’ll have mental, emotional and physical scars for life. 😬
I had a girlfriend in the late 90s, she had an Akita pure bread. He was an out of hand crazy dog! Got into everything and was a gentle stupid dog that needed a LOT of training and she was too cheap to get it done. That dog caused all kinds of problems even did damage to the bedroom. Ruined artwork and furniture. Very protective and good natured. But man oh man! Lots of damage!
Thank you for not only making these videos entertaining but also educational about the dog breeds. Very well done, keep up the good work!
Such a great way with the dogs your so good much respect, love the funny comments too
My brother recently got mauled by an Akita that his long time best friend (30+ years) and wife had. Broke his fingers and went for his throat in about half a second but he turned his head and got his face fucked up. Not saying they're bad owners. My brother loves dogs and has had many "dangerous" breeds like Rots. (Though our Rough Collie was never fixed and I grew up with him and he was a terrible dog and my parents were terrible owners) My brother is a decent bit older than me and has been friends with that family for 30+ years. It's good if dog owners know their breed, know their temperment, know their triggers, know if they can socialize. My brother has his face and hand fucked up for life and was lucky that he turned his head from his good friend's dog. A lot of working dogs have a purpose (including our very bad rough collie I grew up with) and it's just not a good idea to have them in urban situations. It's not specifically the dog's fault and it's easy for a new owner to get in over their head or not understand socialization because a dog is good at home.
How awful. I expect there are many stories of dogs that snapped that doesn't only apply to Akita though. Always a devastating situation.
Totally read that first prompt as Threat Counter; made me sit up real quick!
What a beautiful boy!! Great job Khan!!
Great job explaining the breed history but even more, how you made his first bath as comfortable and calming as possible!
What a sweetheart he is.
He looked gorgeous after you groomed him
He looks like it was a most enjoyable experience; so sweet and loveable! Around treat No. 5 he looked like, "Hmmmm, this is niiiiiiice! She's a good human and this feels so gooooood!" 🥰🥰💖💖🤣🤣
He's beautiful. Worthy of a true home to care for.
The breed looks marvelous, stunning and fierce, wow!
I love when you breakdown the dog breeds! Always very informative especially when so many of us just pick dogs that look cute :)
He loved it! It's such a pleasure to see how an expert treats dogs. All of the dogs I've had over the years simply loved this kind of attention, especially my Big Boy "Fyre". A dark red Husky / Malamute cross who was quite the talker.
what a beautiful animal. And so calm during the bath and the drying.
Man, I love my Akita. I love when you have them on your channel.
He didn’t seem to growl at you even once. What a good boy.
I’ve got my third one now. Turns 5 this year and son of an Aus Champion 👍🏻
What a big sweetie! I bet he strutted around like a champ after all the bathing and grooing!
He's beautiful. We adopted a Husky when a friend died and she needed a home. Great with children and adults but we have to be careful around small animals because of her hunting instincts. I've never seen an Akita in person but they are certainly beautiful. You did a great job of projecting confidence with him while being careful not to trigger any unwanted behavior.
Once you've fed a dog, he's your friend for life.
Thank you so much for highlighting the distinction between the Am. akita and the Inu.
He’s absolutely adorable!
Responsible ownership and training are key with all dogs,especially any big dog breed,love and kindness also plays a huge part in raising and owning any dog ...
SUCH A GOOD BOY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Love Akitas! They aren’t Labs! They don’t mess around and are very loyal and protective. Awesome.
what a great fluffy assasin, but the way she handled the animal, what a professional.
Wow, what a beautiful grooming job!
I had an akita was japanese inu of 55kg and never had a problem my freinds also had his siblings and all of them were perfect companions any dog can be vicious its about training and keeping there very intelligent brains active and occupied very intelligent dogs
God I love akitas. I absolutely adore mine and would never have any other breed other than akitas. She's such a good and polite girl. A little crazy sometimes, but an absolute joy.
I was out jogging one day, and ran into 2 of these guys that must have gotten out. They both stared at me so I stopped, looked away and slowly walked the other direction. They were beautiful but intimidating.
It’s been 8 years since my Akita passed. Dash was the best dog ever and I stumbled into him. I even got him certified for working at a hospital. Even after all this time seeing akitas really makes me miss him more than any other pet or friend besides my sons. Such a great friend and dog.
He knows she is not a threat, and her voice and tone set him at ease
I have 3 Akitas. They are truly my babies. They are extremely loyal to their owners, love to interact with people, and VERY stubborn! Definitely a breed for experienced owners tho. I ended up with an alpha female who absolutely would not tolerate other dogs. A stray dog found its way into my backyard once and I discovered it in the morning but it was too late for that poor dog. They do seem to develop some issues with weakened hips though, as 2 of them developed very weak back ends. Devoted companions.
I love my two Akitas. They are babies and very well natured, play with dogs and kids great. One is American and AKC certified, the other is and Inu.
You're awesome teaching people about dogs while you're working. Not everyone thinks about the breed and their own lifestyle when getting these gorgeous dogs. I have 2 mixed breeds and one is a husky mixed with mastiff and a husky mixed with wolf. Your 100 percent right to say get to know the history before getting these dogs.
Akita's are just ridiculously handsome dogs. He was so well behaved for a first timer. Great little lesson on understanding the genetics and the actual purpose of a particular breed. When you have a breed that was designed to be territorial, a guardian and to fight other dogs, don't be surprised at the dog having an "on" switch that can escalate quickly. It's your job as the owner to be aware of this and socialise and train them to mitigate the risks. Also a great acknowledgement on the difference between the Japanese and American dogs. In Japan they don't recognise the American dogs as actual Akita's.
They are incredibly dignified animals & as long as you show them respect you will get it in return.
Such a cutie. I used to have a mix with German Shepeard, she was 114lbs with very little body fat. Very intimidating to some unknown onlooker but a total softy. She has brought abandoned kittens home from the outback and cared for them like they were her own, and was also so protective of them.
He is beautiful. His ears wiggling was so cute
He's a beautiful dog ! Your very good with him too. ❤
wow. what a beautiful and majestic breed. By watching his face you would never think that boy is dangerous, but also take the whole build into consideration. This dog is strong.
As a former akita owner of a boy called chico, they are a very friendly breed and have alot of strength (they have more muscle density than other dog breeds)😊 😊
I had an Akita. He was the absolute sweetest, best dog I have ever owned.
What a handsome dog! Takes a lot of care and dedication to keep such an animal healthy and manageable. He requires lots of exercise and good food.
Had two Akitas around all us kids growing up. Incredibly smart and loving dogs
My mate had one, I feel I became part of the pack eventually but he was definitely unsure at first and he wasn't afraid to show it. An absolute stunning example of an Akita and my mate did such a great job training him! He was the definition of a gentle giant I remember one week I spent a lot of time at his helping him with something and he kept calling him over everyday to clean him but he never pushed him, he always either ignored my mate or went to his spot haha.... then one day he smelt so bad and his coat was in the thick of malting he had to.....Never seen such a fierce looking thing look so sad! Rip Chief!
Iv owned an American Akita 13 years now and we socialised him with our family as a pup and trained him with some obedience but not ever doing it and he’s the most protective loyal member of our family and has never come close to attacking anyone he’s a gentle giant ..
looked beautiful after. great coat and clean trim
Great job, thanks for sharing!
Vanessa you nailed it perfectly. Know the genetics of the breed . And love them love them
