Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 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...
