Could we have a picture of the guilty party

Ok so here she is, as you can see she's into everything!!!!!
Don't think she'll ever grow out of this puppy stage

In fairness to her the table is still standing unmarked, the chairs must have been more tasty

Jinxy she's beautiful!

How old is she now?

Molberts

Gorgeous!!!

The pic of her about to chew up the cat scratcher is my fave! :P

jinxycat

She's 2 years old, I have her just over a year now. Sadly she's not mine, i'm minding her for a friend while their house is being built and that.

I'm going to miss her terribly when she goes I didn't think i'd have her so long and i'm so attached to her now.

She's only going down the road though So I can visit her when ever I want.

Hahaha, yeah that's long gone now so it is, along with her beds that were bought and many, many other things.

In fairness I can't complain, we stupidly keep leaving things within her reach

Is she good with people?
I hear Akitas can be quite aloof....as with most things reviews are like dogs everyones different.

jinxycat

She's great with people, so many people stop me when i'm walking her and pet her. She loves the attention!!! Although I do wish some people wouldn't just throw themselves on her to hug her, as, well you just don't know how a dog will react, especially to strangers.

In saying that she's very protective of the home, she never barks unless she feels threatened/if she think's we're being threatened.

Hmmm maybe furniture does really come alive at night

Great pics !

As soon as I saw the coal bucket I knew there'd be 'someones' head in it

Do you have a cat in the house with the Akita ?

I wouldn't have thought their temperament really suited living with a cat. Then again, guidelines about breeds, are only ever guidelines. You never know until the dog lets you know.

jinxycat

I used to have a cat, they got on grand with each other. Don't worry she didn't eat her like everything else

Unfortunately she met a person who didn't like chats

ziggy23

:pac: haha gorgeous dog! my dog used to do things like that. He ate his bed, ripped clothes off the line, emptied bins and ripped half the lino up in the kitchen:eek: he just hated bein on his own. we got a dog trainer in and she sorted him out:P

hey,
I need help, my 9 month old Akita is a lovely dog and shes kept on our property by elecftric fensing system. we dont live in an estate but are still living in town, my problem is children from the area keep coming onto our property to tease the dog and she is quiet aggressive towards them, which in my opinion is fine as shes protecting her home, but who is liable if a child is teasing my dog on my property and then gets bitten? beware of dog signs are up!
Thanks

dee o gee

Ha ha lovely dog, the way shes looking at that bird in the cage would have me worried though, looks like shes thinking of her next dinner :P

To the poster above me- If your dog was to bite somebody, then it could be put down, even if the children are trespassing onto your property and teasing the dog. Is there any way you could talk to the parents of the children and tell them that your dog is aggressive, that their children are teasing it and are in danger of getting bitten.

marley007

well heres where the problem worsens, the children are from the traveling community and run riot around the place, i never see their parents, the amount of damage these kids cause baffles me but thats besides the point so no i dont think their parents knowing will make the slightest bit of difference!

dee o gee

Well your fairly fe*ked then!!! :rolleyes:
Is their anyway you can fence in your property or even a portion of it so these kids can't get near your dog? Or would you consider a large dog pen? I honestly don't know if calling the gaurds to say that they are trespassing would make the slightest difference, probably not but you could try :rolleyes:
Maybe its a good thing shes so aloof/aggresive with strangers then, have you her neutered and microchipped, and a tag on her saying shes neutered/microchipped?
You might get more replies and advice if you start a thread of your own.

marley007

fe*ked is rite, shes microchipped alrite, well the last resort is putting up big gates and fencing the wole place off as its gonna cost a fortune! but if its a must i guess it'll have to be done! its jus annoying that i should have to when it the kids that come into our place and not the other way around!

jinxycat

Hehe don't worry the bird isn't her next dinner!!!

I was reading the Aer Lingus T&Cs earlier and happened to spot in the Animals section that Akitas (and five other breeds) won't be carried by them due to the damage ones that have got out of their crates in the hold have done. I can see where they're coming from now!

Noffles

They're great looking dogs a friend of mine did own a very large one, quite the handfull it was too... and possibly the strongest "ball sniffer" dog I've ever had the misfortune to have to try and fend off!! Sadly it managed to pull the arm off his sofa when left alone one afternoon... then after my mate split up with his wife he had to get rid of the dog, shame really.
