As has been mentioned before (I think?) Akitas are fantastic and beautiful dogs but...
Not exactly the most recommended breed for a family with children, or for the first time owner.
They are brilliant, but must have an experienced owner.
It's not necessarily something bad that's happened in the past, could have just been the reaction of a high-strung dog who happens to have the ability to do a lot of damage (because of size and muscle/strength ratio)
I'm sure she's a fabulous girl, but I just wouldn't have her around children - as I said, for her safety as well as the kids.
She will lose her life if because of another tragic accident she mauls a child!
*sorry, edited to clarify:
I am not mentioning the complex character of the Akita because I think the owners are not able... More just to highlight the fact that they are known to be complex dogs and not for the inexperienced for a reason (or two LOL)
