Pups been attacked pretty badly

[rob190364 2,594]

Dont know anything about them, what do they look like, I take it they are not banned in Britain, but after reading the posts, if not banned, the questions has to be why not.

Hope your pup recovers,itst thing a Pup needs,

Slightly away from the subject my Town is overrun with staffies, I suppose everywhere will be the same, most are okay, but still a bit wary, when out with the Pup.

It's a Japanese fighting dog, they look similar(ish) to huskies but all the ones I've ever seen have been iffy around other dogs to say the least. The problem with Akitas is the fact if you don't know anything about them and you saw one coming you wouldn't necessarily think it was too much of a problem until it's too late because they don't look 'hard' like some breeds you'd be a bit wary of, they just look like big fluffy bears, they've got a proper temper though, and are usually either very dominant with other dogs, very aggressive, or both....and they are bloody big, strong and fast dogs. Definitely not a dog a beginner should have, and definitely not a dog a macho dick head like this bloke should have!

 

You should definitely keep following this up Ethyl, wouldn't be too bad if the bloke was all apologetic but to actually get aggressive after his dog has done that, the bloke should be PTS never mind the dog!

and just a quick point to those who are saying she should go out and get a bull cross to sort it out.....apart from the fact you're embarrassing yourselves and you're no better than this bloke, you've clearly not seen many Akitas or are very naive if you think a bull cross is just going to go in and do the business, there isn't many dogs that are going to get one over one of these things!

hope your pup is ok. we nearly had an incident the other week with my rottie pup a staffy from a few doors down decided to dig into my garden and have a go at the puppy would have been a very unlucky puppy if my bull x dint smash the staff and send it off with its tail between its legs. all my dogs will look out for there own but will not show any aggression unless they think that me or my partner are in danger or there own is under attack witch is pack instinct so your dog that bit the akita did good. as for the guy with the akita. in the [bANNED TEXT] hands they are fantastic dogs with a inexperienced or one that is that incompetent to think of the welfare of the dog or any ones elses dogs or children should be banned from having that sort of dog. but you will be lucky to have any thing done about his dog as police dont seem to do much when one dog attacks another they only seem to care when it involves a person or child being bit or attacked then they will seize and destroy the dog. so you will have a battle on your hands at the end of the day its not the dogs fault its the owner. best thing to do is take him to a small claims court to get back what you payed on the vets bills if you have witnesses you will more than likly win and they may do some thing about the dog. or you can go to his level and hit him ware it hurts. not the dog but cause him to have to spend out big money.

I dont believe they have ever been used for fighting seriously. I believe they were bred as protection dogs for familys and livestock in rural areas of japan, but that was a long time ago. They seem to be a bit of a status symbol with some these days like bull dogs a rottys. Theyre a dog that needs treating with respect and experience. One of the few I know of is the softest dog I have ever known, cautious of strangers but sound with terriers, pups, children and even chickens! That catious nature combined with their enormous size and strength can make for a liability in the hands of a prick.

Glad your pups on the mend a bit, main thing is to keep her warm and comfortable - if she's still a bit nervy then you could try and use some 'Rescue Remedy', a sort of herbal remedy, just until she's settled. You may find that she take a bit of a step 'backwards' in her behaviour, and becomes very submissive with the other dogs.

My cocker bitch was attacked by a GSD when she was 12 weeks old, 4 hours in surgery, herniated stomach and ruptured diaphragm and a couple of crushed ribs - she was a very confident pup up until then and i found it did 'wipe out' her confidence for a while.

She was a bit of a mess for a couple of months, but 3 months later you wouldn't have been able to tell where she's been chewed.

 

Best of luck mate, hope she comes right for you (and the kids).

exactly,its all bad publicity for dogs in general.

 

ive got aggressive dogs but they stay on lead,if anyone cant control their dogs young or old aggressive or not,you deserve what's coming to you,whether that's a dead dog or a court appearance.

some dick head let their English bulldog come and jump all over my patterdale x yesterday,hopefully the vet fees will persuade him not to do that again.

Akitas arnt classed as the Japanese fighting dog, far from it. I been around 100's and even seen them in japan, there heritage is bear culling and protection over fella hunters , that's why the dominante breed nature is still there, they have tremendous prey drive more then i'd say many other breeds, there jaw is in the same nature to a pitbull breed for power and bite and like posted before include small dogs on the menu. they also have big issuses normally with there own sex and always normally fight for top dog or bitch, if you go to Japan an Akita is perceived as great fortune and luck if you have one in your home. they also hold huge protective instincts over there family. like said Akitas need experienced owners it's not the dogs fault its just following instinct, it's the owner who should be put down

Its a ferking Joke Ethyl I had my old whippet lurchers tail ripped off him just hanging by the sinews by a boxer, he was in agony went to the owner (his dog was out in the street) mine on leads.Can honestly say it gutted me I had to have it amputated and it took months the dog was never right after it had wrecked his spine.When I went to see the owner she said who did I think she was Rockafella I told her exactly what I thought she was,Her husband came up the house and paid me later.Take it all the way Ethyl its more luck than anything it didn't kill your pup and the twat should pay for what he did.Let us know how the pup is I got my fingers crossed for you

It is quite a common thing for stupid owners to not even attempt to control their dogs, never mind try and be unable to. When I lived with my parents I had a spaniel cross and a bloke down the road have a very aggressive GSD. And what did he do to control his dog, he walked it round the streets off it's lead!!!! It was fine when nothing was around but if another dog came round the corner it would attack. On numerous occassions I'd be walking to put my dog in the boot of my dads car and he would be walking past and it would knock the shit out of my dog on our drive, I'd have a go at him for not having it on a lead and he'd say mine wasn't either so there's nothing I could do Mine was on our drive, just stood there, his would run on our property and attack mine....and yet this bloke didn't think he was in the wrong!!!!! He was reported to the police many times by various people and they never did a thing about it, they'd just 'warn' him, but it kept doing it throughout its life and died of old age. And this isn't some chavvy young lad or anything, the bloke was about 50 with a decent job, nice house and a family. It's just annoying how these people never seem to bump into the wrong dog, it's almost like they actually relish the fact their dogs attack other peoples dogs! He used to actually laugh when he dog was pasting a dog that was probably about a third it's weight, real brave! :censored:

[rob190364 2,594]

the fighting dog of japan is the Tosa, the Akita will fight , but they use pits or Tosa in most countrys . They never fought them with pits because of there coats,so they didnt match them. The Akita is very powerful dog, very heavy set type dog, i dont like them i think thay have bad temp. i would rather have pit any day of the week,a pit temp is 100 times better. Akitas+chow are dogs i would never have. Hope your pup is ok , if it happens a again carry a stick (broom handle) like i do , and crack the twat right across it muzzle. it will loose no prob, all dogs are sensitve on the nose even pits, and a pit is prob the only breed that (might) not loose but they prob would. I staff once tried to grab Bryn , it was pubs dog and it was a twat with any dog for fighting, i give it a crack on the nose it stopped there+then.as i said 95% dogs will stop .
