I just got an American Akita
What I'm in for?
>>2468379
So you got a dog without even researching the breed first? Sounds retarded.
>>2468383
He's cute and I love him
looks more like Basketball Shawquita
>>2468379
An ill-mannered murderous cunt
>>2468427
so a normal dog?
Are they good to take care of a home? I live alone
>>2468428
Fuck off catfag
Sounds kinda retarded. But i'll take the bait, if it is.
The expierence that I had with Akita dogs (big and small) was horrible. They are the kind of dog that will don't give a fuck about you. If they see a dog they don't like, or human, they'll attack it. My boxer one time he wanted to meet some akita that we found, worst decision ever. Sincerely, I wouldn't recomend to anyone to have an Akita.

You're in for a big, unpredictable, and aggressive shiba inu.
good luck

>the absolute state of cats
An Akita bit my Bernese Mountain Dog really hard on her ass once. I was really pissed off.
Socialize properly, don't spay/neuter before 2 years (early neutering/spaying results in increased aggression http://saveourdogs.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Aggression-and-spay-neuter-in-dogs.pdf) and give it enough exercise. You'll be fine.
If you don't socialize it properly you're fucked. Also if you have a dog that is an asshole and you've for some reason bought an adult Akita that you don't know the temperament of, expect it to get it's shit kicked in

Thats usually the words that end up in a violent mauling
Awesome dogs, but solitary. Extraordinarily dominant.
They'll protect people they know. Everyone else watch out. They are usually good with kids since they're unthreatening. They also hate other dogs. If you live in a city or something, I would not recommend unless they are very well trained.

>Lmao what the fuck is this machine
basically a cat/pet washing machine.
It's been a long time since I read the article, but I believe it said that this way it was supposed to be less stressful
>>2469295
It's gotta be meant for dogs, though, not cats. Because that was a pretty normal reaction for a cat and clearly not less stressful at all.
Either socialize it with other dogs from a young age or never let it near another dog for the rest of its life
Especially if the dog is smaller than it
It's my opinion that people like you should not own a dog. You need to do your research before getting such a difficult breed to train/socialize.
>>2468379
Only good as guard dogs for large farms
>>2469296
I prefer this method of washing doggos :) good boyes

>He's cute and I love him
So, we're looking at about 10+ years of your idiotic apologies for the dogs soon-to-be-learned bad behaivour? I bet as a kicker, you'll be too sensitive to take constructive criticism regarding its shit behaivour.
>>2468427
This. Also they're stronk as FUCK
