Oh My!!! KYS is so right! I am so happy to see we have a new akita pup with us. I'm sorry I haven't been around much to get to welcome you and your pup to Pet Talk. I'm glad you joined and I hope you share lots more pics and stories of your boy. Zero is a handsome boy and he looks like he is going to be a good size. Does Zero give you lots of woo woo woo noises? I think wooing is one of my akita girl's favorite things to do...lol.
