Would Akitas make a good beginner dog?
Would Akitas make a good beginner dog? Dog Breed Discussions
I know each dog is an individual, but a general overview would be nice. My dad didn't give me much info, but he said his friend has a year old Akita (or Shiba Inu, I don't know, but it's a Japanese breed). The dog is a female, but we don't know about her temperance yet. As you can tell, I know absolutely nothing about a dog, but my dad has owned a dog before as a child. BTW, the owner is giving up the dog because they are moving to New Jersey, and they can't bring the dog with them. So we're trying to rescue her, but I want to know if we should. The youngest in our family is a 6th grader, so are they good with kids?
