Kevin found this little 6-7-week old pup in the parking lot of Jensens. He brought him home and named him Winslow. The vet thought he was a Chow Mix, but we have recently learned that he most certainly is a Akita Mix. We tried to find him another home after the other dogs and he didn't take to each other. We even tried to give him to Brenna as a housewarming gift. No one wanted this little orphan except some guy outside of Walmart that Mike was going to give him to. (He may eat dogs for all we know). And by that time, Kevin and I could not give him up. We are finding a lot of interesting things about this breed. They are very loyal to their family. They will fight and die for their family, and will battle a wild bear to protect them without backing down. They are used as guard dogs and therapy dogs. Yea, after having an Akita, you need therapy!
Helen Keller had the very first Akita in the United States. With proper training they may like you.
He was 10.8 pounds here. In three weeks he has grown to 21 pounds. But...He will get to be 100 to 130 pounds. And....they are not good outside dogs. They must be inside. Hmmm!
When he could fit in Mike's coat to be sneaked into a track meet. Try that a few pounds from now....Not!
