japanese akita x greyhound

[genuine 81]

their fairly popular nowdays but i've yet to see anyone let one of the lead, is it because their recall aint up to much or is it for fear of them fighting?

 

 

From what i have read they are hard to train and must start from young,there very loyal and protective over family and whats theres,it says knower days there used as guard dogs,and should be one dominant person controlling the animal! But hey they could be as good as any out there over a greyhound!

hi tried sending you a pm have you got the number of the person who bred them. Think they would make great dogs as long you channel there aggression there be great.

 

Hi if your meaning the person who was selling the litter of japanese akita's i can get a number but this was the last pup he had! And the last part of your post is spot on !

horrible idea. Every akita I met was aloof and would take the hand off ye. Very unstable dogs.

 

Cheers mate,just a quick question.Did you know any of the dog or owners? And if it were your dog as a pup do you believe it would be the same?

 

I know what your saying though as ive read about them all day and they are a bit ify!

prob is the akita has got a bad name from people who keep them as domestic pets. And curb there hunting and dominance issuses. This makes them touchy. But we dont want a pet we want a stone cold bruet force killer that the akita truley is. If you see this breed in a working situation which hasnt been traped as a pet there prey drive is through the roof and they dont give up. Its only when there positive points arnt channeled you have the problems. I think you ve got a good dog in the making there

I think there was a thread a while back about this X.

It might not of been on this site though.

They MIGHT make a good X, after plenty time and effort, on both parties.

But what if it dont work out, a few good years wasted.

 

Im not saying it cant be done, but I personally would stick with whats tried and tested.

What about A bit of german shepherd in as they seem to be around a bit more.

I was thinking the same what if you waste so many years trying,but then i thought about every other cross and they would have took the same time and longer! It would seem to be a waste if it wasnt tried as everything about them says there born fighters,hunters etc crossed with a greyhound to get some electric pace in there you could have yourself a beast! Good feet so ive read excellent coates and so on!

Are you going to breed them then?

A woman had one who lived across the road from me and from a young age she was very firm with it although it was a bitch so was probably easyier than a dog it was well behaved and not a problem she recently lost it at the age of 11 wat i noticed is that it looked an old dog at 4 and did not seem as agile.

One its a puppy.Two i only read a little on them.Three someone may have already tried so will wait and see if i get anyone who has! Maybe one day it will be worth a shot,god loves a tryer and if no-one has tried then it could be perfect!

Read this and tell me what you lot think!

 

Training: A confident and consistent approach is required to train a Japanese Akita. Repetitive drills or overly harsh training hinder the process. Japanese Akitas are easily housetrained. They must be socialized young if they are to live with other pets.

 

Activity: Japanese Akitas have considerable stamina and should be physically and mentally stimulated as much as possible. They should be walked on a leash or provided an enclosed area for activity. Japanese Akitas enjoy active playtime with family. They can adapt when not exercised for a time, but may be less quiet and obedient. Japanese Akitas can tolerate apartment life provided they receive sufficient exercise.

 

Character: Japanese Akitas have a strong hunting instinct and are calm, spontaneous, and intelligent, making good watchdogs. They are quiet and dignified, with great power and attentiveness. Japanese Akitas are noble and kind, making excellent companions. They are generally obedient. Barking is infrequent; however they tend to make a mess when drinking!

 

Size: The Japanese Akita has a shoulder height of 61-71 cm (24-28 in) and weighs 35-50 kg (75-120 lbs). Japanese Akitas have small, triangular shaped eyes, flat skulls, and a level back. Their ears are small, angled, and erect. The Japanese Akita has a large, full, curly, tail which dips above or below the back. Japanese Akitas have webbed feet which make them effective swimmers.

 

Country of Origin: The Japanese Akita (also known as Akita Inu or just Akita) is the largest and best known Japanese breed. The Japanese Akita was bred as a fighting dog in medieval times, and redeveloped in the 1800s as part of an effort to restore several ancient Japanese breeds. In 1918, the Akita Inu Hozankai Society of Japan was created to preserve the breed, which was subsequently designated a natural Japanese monument in 1931. In 1937, Helen Kellers guide dog became the first Japanese Akita to arrive in the United States. The Japanese Akita grew in popularity in America after World War II, when many soldiers returned home from Japan with them. Today, they are popular American pets and serve as guard and police dogs in Japan. The worlds most famous Japanese Akita, Hachiko, greeted his owner at a train station after work every day. After his owners death, Hachiko continued to faithfully visit the train station every day to wait for his owner, until he died nine years later. Today a statue of Hachiko stands at the train station and an annual ceremony is held in his honor.

 

A little more.....

 

The Akita is the National Dog of Japan and is immensely powerful and dignified dog.

Akita's are extremely intelligent, energetic, alert, courageous and very territorial. They are faithful, affectionate, and love human attention making them excellent companions and watchdogs. They are good with children within the family but will be wary of other children. The Akita was never bred to live or work in groups like many hound and sporting breeds. Therefore the individual Akita is happy being an only dog or one of two dogs in a household, but can be very aggressive towards animals not part of his family group, particularly strange dogs. They have a natural hunting instinct so would not get along with non canine animals.

 

This breed is not for everyone, and definitely not recommended for a first time dog owner. Akita's are large, powerful, independent and dominant dogs. Therefore they require a firm owner who can give them the time for necessary training. Akita's must be trained from early puppy-hood so they know who is the boss, otherwise they will become the dominant one of the household. Early socialisation is also required to prevent aggressive and unpredictable behaviour. They do not react well to harsh training instead they need firm, loving, and consistent discipline.

 

This breed sheds a lot, if you don't like dog hair this is not the breed for you. The soft undercoat gets matted if it is not cared for properly. This breed needs to be thoroughly brushed at least two-three times a week.

 

This breed needs a lot of daily exercise. They should be kept on their lead due to their natural hunting instincts

One its a puppy.Two i only read a little on them.Three someone may have already tried so will wait and see if i get anyone who has! Maybe one day it will be worth a shot,god loves a tryer and if no-one has tried then it could be perfect!

a bloke bred them 3 years ago i was goimg to buy one but just missed out. They sold really quickly. The bloke used them for everythink big and small saw aload of pictures and vids of the stuff they caught. Hence why i was trying to track him down as lost his number. Be good if hes on here to contact me and post some pics for non believers. There are heavy dogs but agile with it. Shame about the ban would make great badgeer and fox dogs. But also agile enough for hares and rabbits

best person to ask will be flint08 he has 30 years plus of breeding big dogs you might get a counter preductive result putting more grey into it not sure. Hes the better one to say.

[genuine 81]

I just put this up befor and for some reason it was removed without a pm to say why there wasnt anything wrong with it!

 

 

Anyway here goes,what do people think of the akita? Do you think it would be a handy dog to put over a greyhound? Maybe used for big game hunting etc! We have had debates on every other cross, i thought this breed will bring some diferent answer and some interesting ones!

its like a lot of things mate if you think to much a bout it you dont do it.Just go a head and try it you might have a nice surprise

 

 

Someone with a male japanese or american akita on here should maybe consider it if i had a holding and a decent grey bitch i could ask the lad who bred this pup to use his akita over the bitch,but then its 2 years of bringing them on and maybe 10 pups,who would be up to the task who wouldnt!

[Guest fence_hopper]

sounds like a brilliant idea, you know with this ban, big game oh rabbits are legal or maybe a rat go for it everything else is being put over these poor extrack bitches why not

 

Hahaha always the same fence boy! Well done,why bother posting! State the obvious but what are most dogs bred for! Fool!

 

 

take a step back and listen to the shit coming out of your mouth divy
