    hay guys just saw this thread I was thinking myself of getting a american akita, but one thing I have heard is that when they grow up they do not get along with other dogs is this true??? is there no way of socializing them well with other dogs??

    No breed is outright dog agressive, there are breeds who can be more dominant with other dogs if not socialised early but once this is done and continued throughout their lives you shouldn't have a problem. There are puppy classes you can bring your pup to which are great for them in the early months and really stand to them in later life.

    No bother :) like I said, I don't mean to be negative or anything but better to hear the truth out straight. As for what breed, I'd basically be reposting this reply in answer to that question...

    What would you be looking for in a dog? Would it live inside the house? Do you have small kids living there or visiting? How active is your lifestyle, how much time would you want to spend exercising the dog, are you interested in agility or anything like that? Do you want something you don't have to put much effort into grooming wise? Do you have a large secure garden, how high is the lowest part of the fence?

    Also if you got a job tomorrow would you still have enough time?

    Lot's of questions I know, but you haven't really given much info on your circumstances.

    +1, plenty of socialisation is the key. Any dog without it has the potential to be dog aggressive
