Hubby Wants A Male Akita

Robin,

Akita pups are so adorable!
If you do decide to add a male Akita to your household.
I would do your research VERY carefully on breeders and ask around
for breeders who breed a softer dog known with great
personalities. Watch for a long time how the pups interact
with each-other too. (Truly reputable show breeders will gladly give you
the information on whom they believe breeds a softer Akita.)

Katie is dog dominant and not dog aggressive.
Just be prepared what ever you decide!

Good advice.

I'd also want to see & meet the dam & sire. Might
give you a better idea on Charlie's personality. He is a gorgeous pup.

Thanks for the support and info everyone. Karen(kys) we will definitely be looking for the right breeder if the time comes. Just wanted to point out that I don't even know if this will happen. Alden has just been doing alot of talking. Also, Charlie is not the pup that we would be getting. He was a pup that we met at the Pet Expo. He is exactly what Alden is looking for and of course he got the name of the breeder..lol.

Anna, just like you I am surpirsed that it is me that is holding him back. I find it hard to believe myself. I can't believe that when it comes to this decision that the practical side of me is kicking in. With the way I feel about dogs you would think I would be going.."yea, yea, lets do it!" What is wrong with me?!...LOL.
