Ruby, coonhound
She is very loyal and walks on a leash fairly well. She likes her raw hide chew toys. She does like to snuggle at night. She is used to a dog door too.
Gemma, Akita
This girl is as sweet as she is beautiful.
Jewl, Akita
She is a bit shy at first meeting but loves attention.
Loki, Akita
A good looking fellow who loves to explore! He would be a great hiking companion or team captain on a scavenger hunt. Always a little ahead of the game, this guy definitely will benefit from a good foundation in basic obedience. Not for the first time Akita owner.
Delilah, Akita
Delilah is a very nice dog but will need to be an only dog. She walks with just a few dogs and she does fine, however, she is not tolerant of little dogs. Delilah is very friendly and likes human contact.
Jatzu, Akita
He is kind, but tough in some ways, so would not be suitable as a first Akita. He enjoys games and can be as playful as a pup with the right human partner.
Peaches, Akita
This happy-go-lucky girl needs a real Akita person who understands her playful but obstinate nature. She needs strong leadership and opportunities to exercise her high intelligence. A one-dog family candidate, Peaches is sure to win you over with her mischievous charm.
