That Guy

Grew up with a Labrador and had a boxer that passed away 2 years ago,so finally decided to get a new dog,I love the spitz looking dogs and was thinking of a Siberian Husky,but they seem like alot to handle,and apparently don't make very good watch dogs,everything I've read about the Akita make it sound like a wonderful and majestic dog but I really have my heart set on a red fawn Japanese standard one..I was considering settling for a Shibu inu cause they look similar but I really want something a bit bigger,the other dogs I really like Jindo,Shikoku and Ainu inu are also pretty much non existent in this country lol anyways I've sent an email to the couple who have a breeding pair of Akitas and just waiting to hear back...I'm getting impatient lol cause I want this dog now,but I assuming the waiting list would proly be a year or so considering they only have one breeding pair,but yeah rather wait and be happy,then settle for something else and be unhappy with it

I have found one couple in Sydney and another in Perth that are going to start breeding them,waiting to hear back from them I'd suspect there would be a bit of a waiting list and proly a high price tag but I guess it would be worth the wait Kuma Akita : no offence to any Akita owner I just don't think the American Akita looks that great,the black face and patchy coat,and the heads on them look alot different,makes me think the bloodlines have been crossed somewhere,and I would rather have an Akita the way the Japanese intended them to be..i heard the japanese view the american akita as an insult? Dunno if that's true tho? Hahaha and I just prefer the red fawn or pure white fox lookin dog of the Japanese standard Teprement wise tho they both sound like great dogs and can't wait to get one... I was thinking of settling or a Shina inu,how are they compared to an Akita

hey guys hows it going,new to the forum :) I looking at getting me a new dog and really have my heart set on a Japanese Akita Inu but finding one is proving very dificult as the only breeders I can find are those of the American Standard I was wondering if any one here can point me in the direction of a breeder here That breeds to the Japanese Standard,if they do exsist I was looking at Importing one from over seas,but then you have to wait untill they are least 6 months old,Would getting one at that age effect the bond you build with the dog as you bring it up from a baby? I have become obssed with getting one of these dogs lol,its all I think about lol They are so beautiful and sound like amazing dogs,I was going to settle for a smaller Shiba Inu,but In the back of my head id be wishing it was an Akita. also is there any Ainu/Hokkaido inu or Shikoku inu breeders in Australia? or do you pretty much have to look overseas for dogs like that? thank you very much for any help or information
