 Rode up with dottir to see her new Akita puppy. He won't be ready to come home until around November 1st, but the socialization has already started. The Dog Lady has at least 6 adult Akitas living in the house, three breeding females, three males. She also has the 8 month old female shown in the picture. Somewhat to her surprise, ALL the dogs accepted me immediately, tho the pup's Mom was more interested in protecting her pups than meeting me. Now, I don't know if it's salesmanship on her part or the unvarnished truth, but she said she's never seen that young female take to anybody as quickly as she took to me, and that she's moped around the house and laid by the door ever since I left. (I do detect a slight odor of bullshit, but I'm easy...) She came down significantly on her asking price for her and I caved and went halves with my daughter. Seeing as SWMBO is so allergic, there's no way she can live here, but daughter will keep her at her place and I'll visit regularly. Daughter benefits from two dogs to entertain each other (and the older one to help teach the younger one about being a dog) and I can easily get my minimum daily requirement of dog spit. As I've stated many times before, I really, REALLY miss having a dog, and this is about as close as I'm likely to get. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | ||

No kidding, right? I've never paid more than pound fees and shots for a dog in my life. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Being an old softie about pups is not a bad thing. Enjoy your affliction. | |||

| Woke up today.. Great day! |
Great looking dog! For some reason dogs and babies seem to love me. Even those that the owners say are not friendly. I look at it as dogs are a great judge of character  Enjoy the pup. I've got a 5 month Bernese Mountain dog pup my daughter bought over the summer. Living with me until she is trained so my daughter can take her for Junior and Senior year of college. | |||

 A somewhat better picture of her, without that ugly old bald guy in the way. Her name is "Fate" by the way. Seems appropriate somehow... Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

That dog already has you wrapped around its' little paw....  Congrats! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Sounds like there's a little BS, but who cares! That is one fine looking pup.

DO NOT post better pictures of her! I'm already envious -- and tempted.  We always had Pound Puppies when I was growing up, too. A spaniel that couldn't stand children, a lab that could, and a Dalmatian that was absolutely devoted to us. I wish I could add a dog to the newtoSig household!

Yes, very good looking dog. Since we lost our 15.5y.o. dog a month or so ago, I have not been able to think about getting another yet. NRA Life Endowment member Tri-State Gun collectors Life Member | |||

I’ve never been around an Akita. I guess they’re not too popular in Montana. But, I sure like a lot higher percentage of dogs than people.

I first found out about them in Japan. A Navy buddy of mine had one that I got along with great. Seen/interacted with several since then, all have been very personable. Since I told a few folks about this, I'm really surprised at the number of people that cautioned me about what vicious, dangerous, one-man dogs they are. Even on YouTube. I suppose that's possible with the wrong breeder, lack of socialization and ignorant owners, but every one I've met has been a love-bug. Be careful when following the masses.
