This dog is the reason Helen Keller brought the first Akita to the US, and now I’m not happy anymore. I don’t know a single Akita owned by somebody that is responsible enough for the breed and the dogs are all shitheads because of it. It’s what we pin on pitbulls and their owners, except in my (somewhat extensive, worked at a kennel 2 years, own a dog and interact with a handful of local akitas) experience, it’s pretty much breed universal. These are the epitome of working dogs and do not seem to handle a chill lifestyle well at all.
