Are akitas good with kids?

Akitas can be good with kids if properly socialized and trained from a young age. However, they have a strong guarding instinct and may not tolerate rough play, so they may be better suited to households with older children who understand how to interact with a dog respectfully. Supervision is always recommended when Akitas are around children.


American akita vs Japanese akita?

Even though they might look alike, specially when they are very young, there is a big difference between those two dog breeds.1. The originsA Japanese akita originates (as the name says) from Japan, while a huskies origins are Alaska and Siberia.2. The personalityA Japanese akita was raised in Japan as a companion dog. It is often used as a police dog in Japan. Huskies were raised to be sled dogs and are still used for those purpouses.These two different ''lifestiles'' made them develop different personalities.The Japanese akita is more likely to become aggressive if not raised in the right inviroment. If the dog is engaged into the family life and treated as part of the family it will act as one as well. It shows a lot of compassion and love for a narrowed circle of people, while it shows frigidness to strangers.The husky is very hardheaded and is harder to be trained.It is more open to strangers though. A husky isn't really a guard dog, and loves to be part of the family as well. You can experience his desire for pulling when leading him on a leash, which is why it is important for you to start doing that when he is still a baby.To both breeds you have to show very early who the boss is, because otherwise they won't take you seriously.C


Do Akitas and Huskies shed a lot?

Yes. Akitas and Huskies are among the breeds that shed the most. Both breeds are double coated dogs. They have an outer layer of course, straight fur that repels water with an inner layer of softer, fluffy fur that insulates. At least twice a year dogs "blow coat" or shed. When the undercoat is shed it usually comes off in big clumps and because it is very fine it blows and drifts everywhere.

Do Akitas Attack Rabbits?

Akitas are powerful, strong-willed dogs with a strong prey drive, which can lead them to chase and potentially attack smaller animals like rabbits. Their instinct to hunt may be triggered by the movement of a rabbit, making supervision essential when they are around such animals. Proper training and socialization can help mitigate aggressive tendencies, but caution is always advised when introducing Akitas to small pets. It's important for owners to assess their dog's temperament and behavior around other animals.
