Please understand that when purchasing a puppy, it is a LIFE long commitment, and A LOT of work.
Puppies chew things, they wine and cry, they go to the bathroom many times in your house before they are trained not to, They seriously have to be taken for walks and socialized, they have to be played with, They need toys, They need treats, They need to be a part of the family and not just be considered a toy and brought out when you want to play with it, They get sick and need to see the Vet. They cost money yearly for exams and shots, They eat food, that again cost money each month, they need a lot of water each and every day, they make messes that you will need to clean up, they need to be bathed when they get dirty, And then they grow up.
As an adult Akita they are now around 100 pounds and stand 3 feet off the ground. They are no longer cute and cuddly, They have minds of their own and may back talk you or purposely do things when they get upset, They shed, They require more room and exercise and need to run and play, They still need to be loved and cherished, They still need to be taken on walks and socialized, they still need toys and treats, and to be a part of the family, They still get sick and need to see the vet and need exams and shots and need to be bathed, They still need a lot of water and now they eat MORE food (4 to 7 cups every day), They now have real teeth and bigger claws, And now more than ever before they need to be protected, Protected from their own actions, wants and desires because it will never be their fault, only YOURS. If you are willing to put up with all these problems for the next 7 to 12 years then read on.
