Great looking pup, My daughter brought home a Jack Russell about 7 years ago, pretty much anywhere I go, the dog goes, and guess were it sleeps. Be stronger than me.

Re: I'm a grampa, well kinda
Great pic ! I have always loved Akitas a friend of mine had one when we were in high school. We have only owned two , first was a male , then after him we got a female. Our little girl when she was around that age :
A basketball was her favorite toy :
Enjoy and have fun with your new "grand kid " Take lot's of pictures because just like the two legged kind , they grow up so fast

Re: I'm a grampa, well kinda
Thanks for all the kind words guys. 1894 is your Akita laid back? This little guy is really laid back right now but it may just be because he's a puppy. This is the first Akita that I have ever seen to my knowledge. Everyone that we've talked to has said these loyal and are one family dogs.
Re: I'm a grampa, well kinda
Yes Hondo , she was pretty laid back . We really tried to go overboard with socialization ( people and dogs ) as well as training ( basic manners ) starting very early . We got her ( and us ) into a puppy kindergarten class maybe a week or two before their usual minimum age . The teachers there were great , they could pick up on little things in the puppy s ( as well as the owners ) behaviors that the owners may not notice right away. Much easier to change behaviors early . Then basic obedience with the same teachers , and lots of socialization at parks etc.
We did pretty good with our first Akita but learned a lot as well and wanted to make sure we started her off on the right paw.
They grow up to be a large powerful dog , very smart and strong willed , and fearless. Watch for any small signs of aggression ( dog or people ) , possessiveness , fear , etc. That may be cute in a small pup, but at 80 - 100+ #s .... not so much.
The extra work and time spent on an Akita pup will be repaid many times over by having a great dog
I apologize for such a long winded reply , but I really love the breed.

Thanks 1894. We are trying to socialize him as much as possible. My daughter planned on enrolling in an obedience class. I'll try to make sure she does.

Good luck with her.

Re: I'm a grampa, well kinda
Guys, Magwa is doing very well. He is growing like a weed now and has more energy now that all his worms are gone. We just returned this morning from a trip to Maine. Got in about 4:30 A.M. and everyone is pretty exhausted. We went to Acadia N.P. and stayed in Bar Harbor in a cabin. The little guy had car sickness pretty bad the first morning we left but on the way back he didn't have any problems at all. It was hard making it down the sidewalks in Bar Harbor when Magwa was with us. Everyone wanted to say hi and ask about him. We had him out on a couple of small hikes and he did very well on those too. Here is a photo of him and me when we hiked over to Eagle Lake from our cabin. The Maine coast was a beautiful place this time of year.

He's a good looking kid that's for sure. Going by that picture, I would want to build a shelter there and stay the rest of summer.
