He is more like a grumpy old man and he is still relatively young, he likes to stay on bed or couch and has little to no energy.

    I rescued an Akita from an abusive owner that ended up going to Jail. His name was King Kong and he weighed about 150lbs. He was a total sweetheart to me and our kids absolutely adored him. My wife at the time tried but simply got tired of being sat on like furniture. I'm pretty sure my laughter led to our eventual divorce. Kong died in his sleep with three cats curled up on him. He is missed.

      Thank you for being a Hero and saving a life. Sorry your ex did not appreciate the wonders and joys of life with dogs. We never stop missing those paws do we. Kong is most likely showing all the dogs in God's Garden, his wrestling moves that may have helped get a not right for you person out of your life. Never underestimate the finesse of a dog that can judge character. One of the things my EX said is if his two Siamese cats accept me, he would date me, so fair is fair, if my cat accepted him, I just might marry him. Though our marriage did not last, our friendship and respect for each other continues. Hope your life is still full of wonder.

      They remain the silent type for most of their lives. They only bark for fun, while playing as young pups. They only play fetch while young pups. They are calm house dogs that need to be with their pack, not good yard dogs. They have an eardrum-busting bark yet only bark in real emergencies! You know like: the house is on fire, the baby is choking, strangers near the house, grandpa just fell down the stairs, that kind of thing. They are classified as "non-barking working dogs". Love 'em!

      I have a pair of Great Pyrenees that are live stock guardian dogs. They almost never bark but when they do it's for a reason. Usually if I hear them bark at night I'll wake up to my 185lb male pink (they are mostly white dogs) and find a recently deflated coyote, but the sheep and chickens are all fine and accounted for.
      Side not, before we figured out how to fix proof the coop and we didn't have the dogs yet. 2 separate times I went to get eggs and found a dead fox half eaten. Red Junglefowl are downright brutal chickens. These were all hens and they killed a fox twice! I have a rooster now and he scares me sometimes with how focused he gets in his attacking of food stuffs like lizards and the occasional garter snake

    When I was a teen and working late one night my Akita saved my life. I was walking to my front door and got grabbed from behind, Q came through the front windows before I could make a sound and chased off the guy biting him on the thigh. You weren’t joking when you said they will protect at all costs. Q got stitches in his flank from the glass, our vet refused to let us pay for it because he “did what Akitas do”. She was also a huge Akita lover. I miss my Q boy dearly. 🥲

      Thank you for sharing your story.
      Dad said when you have 5-girls you need big fearless powerful dogs.
      My dog Bob saved me twice bet the age of 12-16 fm 2-child rapist.
      He ran my 20-something brother's pal, who tried to climb thru my bedroom window, up a tree in our side yard & held him there til dad got home.
      One short visit to our house for a barbecue & the guy took inventory of the house & us girls.
      I didn't see the guy. Bob was chilling in the backyard & came from around the backyard quiet as a mouse til the guy got the window open.
      I ran out the front door after hearing a scuffle. Bob tore a huge hole down his entire leg, below the knee.
      As his leg dripped blood down the side of the tree, he begged me to get my dog.
      No charges because Bob was the only witness of his sadistic behavior.
      At 12 a childhood friend's 20-something brother came to the playground where we were on the tower arc & told him his mom wanted him.
      When he ran home, the felon man tried to grab me off the tower.
      We lived across the street, he froze, & I got my arm free.
      When I looked up, I saw Bob gallopping across the green. Not a bark nor a snarl. He was on a rescue mission.
      His size & presence was enough.
      I jumped off the 1/2 moon tower & the man jumped on the tower, better get yo dog.
      Bob was my constant companion. We always walked, rode bikes, & ate everything together.
      He was given the best of everything...rip brave soul.

    "A natural instinct to guard" So funny story time. I grew up with a pair of American akitas and one fall day, my mom was coming back from work. A Virginia opossum scared the daylights out of her - it was no threat to her but it wasn't what she wanted to run into on our front doorstep. The two full-grown American akitas inside? They could *not* have cared about the situation at all. As far as they were concerned the possum was coming over to play poker.

      @@Leslie_the_Great Dogs are incredible. They can tell the scent has changed. They can't necessarily tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but they can scent the difference.
      Sometimes, dogs have warned people of a cancer growth that they could detect. I don't know if this is only with a human known to the dog, or if some dogs can do this with stranger-humans.
      And then there are the assistance dogs who can tell when their human is about to have a seizure. Either because there's a chemical change, or perhaps the body language changes enough for the dog to see it, but not enough that the human knows yet.

    I love Akitas. I was walking my aunts Akita when I was about fifteen and in the span of about five seconds all HELL broke loose. It took me a moment to process that Boog the Akita had a large pit bull pinned and flailing on the ground right next to me. It took the combined weight of about four passers by to separate the dogs and drag the still lunging pit away from Boog and me. One guy told me he’d seen the pit charging down the hill heading straight for my legs and Boog just basically whirled and bi”ch slapped him down in a split second, pinning him by the neck and shoulder. I’ve been attacked by pits before and I know what would’ve happened if this very large pit had managed to get a hold of me. And Boog handled him like he was nothing! So in my book, Akitas are effing awesome dogs to have around!

    We had three American Akitas from when I was nine to twenty-four. Our first we adopted when he was 4-6 years old, and Pooh Bear was a big golden sweetheart who'd let my younger siblings use him as a pillow and herd us away from street corners. I swear he'd had some kind of service/support dog training with how he behaved, but somehow ended up as a stray. The next we got from a breeder because Pooh wouldn't get along with any of the females in the shelters nearby, and a six month old fluffy baby Bella was a sweet lovebug who'd bark at any women who came in the yard once her eyes started failing. Rocky was 4ish and we got him from some folks who'd kept him in the backyard, and he was an energetic guy who wanted to be a lap dog, with paws the size of my knees and would play-bite, just holding your arm, but always knew his strength. He didn't like kids running at him and would warn them away with nips, but he was smart enough to also never break skin. We lost Bella and Rocky the same year, her to age and him to a bone cancer on one leg, but gdi I still miss those meatheads and their waterproof fur and shedding everywhere.

    Can confirm. My boyfriend's brother did the bad thing and came in through the garage door without us there to let him in. Our Akita, Kiba, immediately charged the door doing big barks at him. Thankfully, we have a gate between the living room and the door to the garage. It took A LOT of treats to get him to settle down.

      I train dogs for a living mainly and I have to really be stern with people depending on their experience and breeds they want to get. A lot of time people want big dogs yet can't facilitate their true needs, especially when people want working breeds. It was heartbreaking in the beginning but now I care more for the future of the dogs than people's broken hearts. A couple wanted a husky, single. They both worked 60 hours and had a 1 bedroom apartment with no plans of getting a home soon. Also had never owned dogs before. The dude got kinda mad at me and I had to explain it to him smh. I've had to refuse service to many people who would want to buy our working line. Some would have cash and want to pay even more than the listing price and I'm like, nope.
      This breed was a competing choice for me but I settled on a specific line of GSD. God, I do love them. Shame we couldn't keep one with the bois I currently have. Dangerous smh.

    My 1/2 Akita, Zooey, was amazing. She was invited to hang out in 2 of my town's bars because she was excellent at preventing fights. She could sense if someone was becoming agitated and would quietly get up and go stand, silently looking directly at the aggressive person; usually before any voices had been raised. (She was precognizant) That de escalated any issue every time. If a man raised his voice to a female, she would place herself in between, silent. If she barked, the bouncer & myself came to her side instantly. (If you've ever owned an Akita, there is no stopping them when they decide to protect. (Which is why constant training & socialization is as necessary as food) I absolutely would have given my life to protect her too. She had her own mind and was simply brilliant.

      @Rh Live in Orange County CA and my family and I have always had American Akitas. It's a desert, so it does get hot but also cold at night. Anywhere near the coast and much of OC and LA county they'll be good in, far inland like Riverside is much too hot. Akitas are house dogs, so on the really hot summer days, our Kenji sleeps for much of the day and then patrols the backyard all night. Goes for walk in the morning and evenings. Keep in mind Akitas are not a great fit for most people.

They wondered why he was so destructive. Poor dog. But a lot of people do that, get the dog for its'appearance rather than what it was bred for.

      ​​@@ash2larOne of my in-laws has a working-line red lab who spends hours in a crate all day in a house that's too small for him and that also has two other dogs, one of whom isn't crated as often and the other is barely crated at all (unsure if she even has a crate tbh). So he can hear them moving around. He is very energetic and destructive, and the amount of energy he has pent up makes him more difficult to train (because he doesn't have enough outlets, so when it's go time it's GO GO GO time). He's a sweet dog, but it's so sad to see him in that situation.

    As an Akita owner I must warn, don’t let their cutie faces trick you! I’ve socialized my dog intensively so he’s super friendly until he sees male dogs. There is something about genetics that us human can’t change.
    Other than that, he is an adorable and clumsy boy with a booty of a Corgi 🥰
    Edit: I must clarify for those who have Akita mix and think they’re safe. My boy is an Akita mix and yet he still not like male dogs that much. He plays with some and not good with other male dogs. It’s hard to know what may trigger him.

If they DID want to breed him, they shouldn't have allowed him around any unspayed dogs whatsoever. (And male dogs, for that matter, since the dog-aggression is worse if a male dog is unneutered).

      So yes, opposite sex is good, but you want to wait until one of them is an adult(18-24 months) before you get a second one. But even then, there's still a risk. They're mostly same sex aggressive, but I've seen ones that are aggressive towards all dogs. So I would wait to see how they tolerate other dogs before getting another
