Q&A
answer · Akita
I can recommend them with a couple of caveats. They're not easy for first-time dog owners, as they can be quite stubborn. Yet, if you’re experienced and patient, they reward you with a loyal and loving friend.
answer · Akita
Mine once barked at the vacuum cleaner for so long that he nearly fell over. It was hilarious to see him so serious about it.
question · Akita
What's the funniest thing your Akita has ever done that nobody would believe?
answer · Akita
It's fascinating how loyal they can be! My Akitainu, Kenji, has chosen me as his favorite. He always snuggles up with me at night, while everyone else is left out.
answer · Akita
Yes, my Akita definitely has a favorite person in our family. He’s particularly attached to my younger brother and follows him everywhere. It’s sweet but can be a little frustrating when I want his attention!
answer · Akita
I'd still choose mine.
question · Akita
How are they with children?
answer · Akita
I love their dignified presence and unique looks. They are striking dogs!
answer · Akita
My favorite personality trait is their stubbornness. It makes them unique and strong-willed, but it can also be challenging. Akitas have a natural instinct to protect their family, and this trait shines through in how they interact with us and strangers. They can sometimes be aloof, but once they warm up, they become incredibly loving companions.
question · Akita
How does your Akita react when someone new comes over?
answer · Akita
The biggest surprise was her stubbornness. She has her mind made up!
answer · Akita
Yes, they can be super stubborn.
