Diego (GSD x akita) and JoJo (staffie x boxer) looking adorable in the hopes of getting some of the biscuits I was having with my tea :rolleyes:
how do you find the temperament of the akita gsd cross? I only got mine, he is a big baby but i am constantly being warned about their aggressive hunting/ dominant instinct. I practice being the dominant one. ie.. controlling food, who is walking in front etc.. and am going to get classes for obediance training..0 -

Challenging but rewarding I think I'd describe it. He originally came from a home where they had no control over him whatsoever so it took a *lot* of work to correct several behaviour issues he had (extreme food aggression being no.1). He's a lot more balanced now. He'll chase when he's playing but has never shown any aggressive hunting tendancies (plays fine with kittens, dogs etc.) but definately has a very strong dominant instinct. If you give him an inch he'll take a mile. You're doing everything perfectly by the sounds of it so just be aware of that aspect of him from day to day. Its become second nature to me with him to watch for the little things that he'll do to test the waters so I can nip it in the bud before it becomes a problem. All that being said (and God knows I'm rambling at this stage) I wouldn't change him for the world.

This is my little one: Puca (should be a "fada" over the u, cant make it work though)
Shes now a year old & still as puppish as ever.

3rd -in the bath about to have a bath after coming home from a beach visit.
Covered in sand & mud!

wow he is a really gorgeous dog. I am doing the caesar milan technique of controling the food! so no food aggression with this one. He does play too hard with my little dog so i have to keep them separate now. which is a pain. I think i will start trying to train him not to be so rough, but he is a pup so this is prob impossible! I need big dogs for him to play with!!! as most little dogs will be smooshed by his big polar bear paws!! but he is just playing but is to rough for little dogs! here is a pic of the two of them together, you can see by the body langugae of the dogs what's going on..0 -

Here's our Shih-Tzu Satsu and Kachiko our rescue cat - she came to us at a few months old with a broken hip but she zooms around now. They're best of friends and usually share a bed (we tried giving them separate ones but they were having none of it). Kachiko's heavily pregnant now so she's sleeping on a windowsill so she doesn't get squished, but they still chase and wrestle during the day.
Here's Kachiko playing "king of the castle"
...and trying to use her mind-powers on us
Satsu thinks he's helping with the laundry
...and his intellectual face

I'll throw up a picture of Molly my Dads dog as well while I'm at it
She was a stray and ended up getting hit by a car outside my dads place and he adopted her.
She's beautiful. An ex-gf had a dog that looked exactly the same (most clever dog I ever met!). Does she have a bushy tail that curls upwards?0 -

This is Rua the Dog, aka Rooster. He's a smart little fecker, mostly Irish setter with some spaniel and something lurchery in there too. He's about 3 years old, grew up a street urchin and then bounced from house to house. He's been with us almost a year.
