Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I had an Akita. They are very strong, very smart and *very dog aggressive*. She'd have to get one that was FIXED and very highly trained against the aggressiveness at a young enough age to be viable as a service dog.   ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ Pragmatic Visionary http://www.affiliates-natural-salt-lamps.com/pages/156.php -- Another dog breed How about this one? I had a friend a long time ago that had 2 of these and she loved them. Said they were the best dogs, and when I typed in "tall breed dog companions" it came up for being a good companion dog. Its heavy enough. The link attached will take you to the page I got this info, and the other 9 tall breeds. Akita The largest breed of Japanese dog is the Akita, also known as the Akita Inu, and the Japanese Akita. Originally created in the 1600s this large breed was known and used for dog fighting and hunting. In the 1930s the dogs were on the verge extinction until a group known as the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Breeds worked together to save the breed.Today the Akita is well known as a companion or security dog. They have proved to be a dedicated pet, showing a great deal of devotion to their owner. Mild-mannered, cautious, intelligent, and active, the Akita is a sturdy companion whether it’s playing around on a beach, or hiking through the mountains. The Akita is a stunning breed. The classic look is one of small brown eyes, ears that are petite, always vertical, and triangular in shape, and a large black nose. The breed comes in many colours; in Europe the breed tends to be black or brown, with a black muzzle; or, in the breeds native Japan, orange and white.Male Akita’s generally weigh between 95-130 pounds, and stand between 26 and 28 inches tall. The females are not too far behind, with an average weight of 70 to 110 pounds, and a height of 24 to 26 inches tallRead more: http://www.petinsuranceonline.co.uk/articles/ten-biggest-dog-breeds-in-the-world.html#ixzz1JXUcMuIO Hugs, Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Gee maybe it depends on the breeder, because it says in the description that they are mild mannered. But then again I suppose there are exceptions, because my Dalmatian wasn't as hyper as most, and he lived to be 15 when the average age was 10-11 yrs. It helps to check the backgrounds of the ancestry of the dogs temperament. Max's mom was very aggressive and protective, but his dad was laid back and friendly. He came from a good background, but he grew to be bigger than both his parents too. Hugs, Jackie Subject: Re: Another dog breedTo: MSersLife Date: Thursday, April 14, 2011, 3:56 PM I had an Akita.
