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 boxers have lock jaws?

Hi there, I own an American Staffordshire Terrier, very powerful dog including the jaw. My best friend owns a boxer and we had this exact discussion between ourselves about 2 years ago. We exhausted every avenue of "lock-jaw". Read every thing we could find about lock jaw and asked numerous Vets. They all had the same answer......No dog on this earth has "lock-jaw". The only case of a dog having lock-jaw was a dog with tetanus lock-jaw, it is very rare that a dog gets this type of disease , that is the only type of lock-jaw a dog may get. It's a medical condition , nothing to do with the actual "lock-jaw" I hope this answered your question...there is no such thing as a dog with "lock-jaw". Its a myth. Check out this site, its the one we found to be most creditable and he confirmed the "lock-jaw" myth http://pitstopnc.tripod.com/id2.html

When people have tetanus why cant they open their mouth?

tetanus has the tenancy to cause lock jaw if left untreated i.e un-innoculated persons etc. lock jaw is where the muscles around the jaw tence up and cause a closed mouth i.e lock jaw effect and the person will need to go to the doctors/hospital and have there jaw injected with a muscle relaxant and "pry" the jaw open again, if lock jaw is not treated immediately then cracked/smashed teeth can be a result of to much down and upward pressure on the teeth. very nasty, cheers

Is a bull mastiff considered a lock -jaw dog?

No, a Bull Mastiff is not considered a "lock-jaw" dog. The term "lock-jaw" often refers to the misconception that certain breeds, like Pit Bulls, have a unique ability to lock their jaws when biting. However, all dogs, including Bull Mastiffs, have a similar jaw structure and do not possess a locking mechanism. It's important to focus on training and socialization rather than breed stereotypes.
