American Akita attacked a visitor

Family American Akita was visiting my place. One family member approached him while he was lying down in a corner next to his owner. They went over, crouched down next to/behind him and stuck their hand out. Akita attacked and bit face and arm. It was bloody and stitches were needed.

Akita is 7 years old and has no biting history at all, is very socialized, knew victim since he was a puppy (2ish yearly visits). Was this outcome to be expected? How could I have prevented it if i did not expect the person to walk up, even though it was in a living room setting?

Rehomed American Akita Behaviour

Hello all, I recently rehomed this beauty at 2years and 6months old. She bonded with me pretty fast and she feels very relaxed and chill at home. She is great at walks, listening and picking up fast. I have planned for some training courses as well to make sure that we both understand each other fully.

Few things I noticed since I rehomed her:

  1. She doesn't like kids. She won't get agressive towards them but she will walk away and avoid them. Any tips on that? As my partner's 6 years old, really like dogs and always wants to pet her.

  2. She has growled and showed teeth in 2 occassions. Both were when we had people over due to Christmas holidays. I told everyone to give her space and let her come to them if she wanted.

In the first occassion, they didnt listen, they tried to pet her while they were 4 people on top of her, she freaked out, growled, barked and showed her teeth. (Which is very much understandable)

In the second occassion though, she was laying next to my partner who was stroking her, giving her kisses and pet her the whole evening. At some point my partner reached for her bag, the dog freaked out and she barked, growled and showed her teeth.

Since they were 3 kids, loads of adults and only minimum space due to a small house, I moved her bed to the other end and she was laying there during the evening until only few of us left in the house and that's when she joined us in the living room.

My partner is very concerned as her kid is around often and she keeps telling me that she is not a family dog. I do understand the concern but it feels like when I am asking her to read and educate about the breed or even join the training sessions, she just shuts me off and tells me she doesn't want the dog near the kid cause she was present in 2 incidents where the dog showed aggressive behavior, which really sadden me as I wants this to work and if anything I want all parties to feel comfortable and safe around each other.

She used to have a small dog that was super friendly, her brother has a larger dog that is a 2 year old but still puppy in mind and behaviour and she compares it to those. Akitas are more reserved and cat-like dogs, but it just seems that she is frightened and won't give the dog time.

Do you have any similar experiences? Was your Akita so anxious that showed this sort of behaviour to family or friends? If so, how did you deal with it?

Thank you for reading :)

My American Akita is shedding already!!!

In fact, she's starting shedding right on Feb 1st. This feels too early. We live in St. Louis (Missouri). The temperature has had some major ups and downs (even today's high is about 15 degrees higher than the historical average) so I'm wondering if those days in the 50's and 60's are what's triggered this. Is anyone else seeing an earlier than usual blow?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered.


What would be a reasonable price for an American Akita?

What would be a reasonable price for an American Akita?

Considering getting a female as a companion. I’ve seen $1000 - $3000 when I did a search.

Edit: I’m considering a puppy from a breeder that I can train and raise up with my family.
