tikeyas_mom,

IF your truely interested in finding out about AKita's temperments how about taking a look at the AKita CLub of America homepage,
and Akita Network. There are many Akita's that are given up
at shelters, because the owner was in for a big surprise when
that cute little furry puppy's temperment changed around 18 months of age.

You should consider joining an Akita e-mail list.
A good one is the AKita-l and the AKita-Network e-mail lists.
Their are some top breeders/trainers on both e-mail lists
that will be happy to answer questions what
the pro's and con's are. You can also
check out the rescue sites on the ACA list to ask
questions.


Here is the web page for ACA and Akita Network.

Hope this helps you determine whether the Akita
temperment is the right dog for you.
