Hi, and welcome! Congratulations on the new pup, and the impending human pup as well. Good news. Because you got this as a puppy, you have every chance to make it a great dog with your child, and other children. Both breeds have excellent qualities to be a family dog, but the caveat is, they NEED training.

But because you got it as a puppy, and humans take 9 months to gestate before they are born, you have a lot of time to train the pup, and socialize it, and make it the great dog it can become. Make sure you start with a good puppy kindergarten, and once the pup has all its shots (you didn't say how old it is), be sure to continually work on socializing it. I am sure it is gorgeous, and it has lots of potential to be your child's best friend in the whole world.

Aussies are active, so make sure you have plans to get it plenty of exercise, even once it is grown. Keep it mentally challenged and remember - a tired pup is a well-behaved pup.

Akitas can tend to be very strong-willed, and like having a smart dog, it's a blessing and a curse at the same time. Be consistent and firm with the training, and you will do fine. Teach manners now while it is small, and you'll eliminate problems later!
