My friend's co-worker has to give away an Akita because

I don't know

What are the circumstances of the bite?

From what I hear the kid was antagonizing the dog and it nipped him. But this is what I heard from a friend who heard from his co-worker so I'm not sure if the actual case. Apparently it was the first time the dog had done anything like that though.

The alpha thing is bullshit.

If it was a kid being a little shit and the dog nipped, it could very well be a perfectly stable and ok dog.

That alpha stuff is crap but Akitas are large independent dogs with high prey and guard drives. They can also be stranger and dog aggressive and have health problems inherent in many large breed dogs -- bad hips, etc.

I imagine if you did a lot of NILIF work with it, managed it carefully on walks, had space in your house and yard, and had no small pets like cats or rats, other dogs, children, or regular visitors, you might get by.

I wouldn't advise it if you've never had a dog before. They aren't for beginners at all.

We live in the country so we have a large yard with no neighbors. There is the wildlife around though, and it might smell our previous dog on everything.
