  1. I presently have a love/hate relationship with a second dog I took on, when he was 2 years old. This was exactly one year ago. It has been a daily battle of wits, my blood pressure sky high and recently I've been reduced to tears of frustration. He is the complete opposite of all descriptions of the breed.
  2. I also recommend K9 leashes. Alternatively, find a leather worker who can custom make them for you. Years ago I did that, for the Akitas, sadly the man has passed away so I have no contact for you.
  3. Lucca's T/shirt arrived this morning, from Pets Providore. He has worn it since midday and with thunder rolling around the hills, he's much more calm than usual. I'm impressed with this
  4. BellaDonna, she is a beautiful girl. She seems to know she is home forever
  5. Many years ago I had a German Shepherd who NEVER barked, so I often took him with me staying in motels, sneaking in after dark. One day, at home, he suddenly uttered one "woof", looked very surprised, never barked again
  6. How I love Akitas Dupree has to go, very soon. I would trust my dogs instincts in not trusting the visitor.
  7. Living where I do, every summer it is a huge bushfire worry. I am not young but, where I go, so do my dogs.
  8. I have signed, in the hope the petition will help.
  9. Shmurps, that is such a sad little poem Tears are blurring my eyes. All the sad and abused little puppy farm dogs and bitches, never experience a happy carefree day in their tragic lives.
  10. Erik is stunningly gorgeous...so is the bub Very occasionally, if I'm lucky we meet a Deerhound of a morning walk. Lucky you.
  11. Thankyou Griff. Thinking of all the poor dogs who suffer abuse, are unwanted, have no special place, I am close to tears as well.
  12. I seem to meet a fair few snobby twits on the walks of a morning. One walked towards me, shouting she breeds poodles and announced my 'oodly whatever' needed a jolly good clip. Rizzi the Lagotto just stood here looking gorgeous as I let fly Could not help myself.
  13. Congratulations Incavale How many of each? Gorgeous little bundles. Photos please, when they are a wee bit older.
  14. Approx 6 weeks ago a friend of mine ordered a ThermoMaster coat from them, took ages with no response from the company, after several emails from the friend, they send a coat, not the T/Master, she received a cheaper fleece material one, but decided to cut her losses and put it down to experience.

    Akita

    I had three Akitas, who lived in harmony together, two females of the American style, and one alpha male who was of the Japanese style. He was a tall brindle, very muscular no excess fat, weighed 60kgs, his muzzle was slightly less blunt, he stood proud and magnificent. His coat was thick, lay closer to the body than the females, who were of lush/plush showy appearance. The Japanese type look more 'businesslike' and are taller. He was very calm. Most Akita owners go for the more showy American type, I think. I like both, although in the ring he might not have been a favourite
  16. Mutt Lover, your kind caring heart is wonderful. Good on you for giving your dear old lady a happy life
  17. Lagotto (I currently have two) Akita ( had three of these gorgeous animals, now passed) Border Terrier Irish Wolfhound
  18. Scooby is lovely ;) Anyone glimpsed the I/Spinone in Heartbeat? We only get the odd passing camera shot.
  19. Alecrain, he is a gorgeous boy. Looks as if he is responding well to your loving heart
  20. mydogcollars.com An American company, who have a huge selection of collars. In Missouri, I think. Their Fabric/Ribbon collars are very attractive, some of the best I've ever seen.
