Just saw a news flash where some guys shot Lady Gagame's dog walker and stole her bulldogs.

Thx but i couldn't do anything but save her. Have you seen the humane society commercials, the ones that i can't watch?
The scene last Sunday morning, 22 degrees, would have won the academy award for humane society commercials. I just broke down, it was very hard to see that in person.
It's been 5 days and i guess if no one claims her by monday, it time to get her to the vet.
Monday she gets a name, you can't eat them once you name them.
She is as sweet as they come. Sleeping with her head in my lap.

I don't think i'm replying to anything? Just to announce that the stray dog has a new home! with me. Her 1 week probation period is over, she's in the union, untouchable now!
Final test yesterday, friend brought out his 2 dogs and everyone got along.
Her name is Sunday because thats the day I found her and it reminded me of the Chris Christoferson song, Sunday morning breakdown! It was !

Matsu is 4 years old and heading off to his first show of the year. We found a new handler, so we're not sure what to expect. He is staying with them this week, and the show is next weekend. He was number 13 in the nation last year, and the two times he was at the same show as the number 1 Akita, he beat him both times. I took these pictures yesterday morning, before he left.

That’s a fine looking dog Eddie. How is his disposition? Are Akita’s generally easygoing or somewhat energetic?

Thank you. Our Akita's are show dogs, so their temperament has to be very good. They get handled and inspected by a new judge every day, and if it's a good day, three different judges in one day. But as a breed, and at home, they are extremely protective and loyal. They kill anything that comes into their yard, and they run up and down the fence all day trying to get everything that is outside their yard. Originally they where bred for hunting, but most people get them for protection.
Most of the time, they are sleeping or resting. They are not overly energetic, but they do need to be exercised regularly to stay out of trouble. When we go to bed at night, they sleep the entire night without making any noise unless something alerts them. Then they are very loud and full of energy. Same thing during most of the day. They will wonder around the yard, and they will play with each other for awhile, but then most of the day, they are relaxing and napping.
We have five, and each one is different in how easy going they are. Matsu is the Alpha, and he is very hyper and aggressive in what he wants. He scares new people because of how badly he wants to meet them. His bark is frightening, and I haven't met anybody that will get close to the fence when he's barking at them from the other side. The oldest female is the worse at killing things. She's been bit by copperhead snakes twice that we know of from killing them, and we find a few dead snakes in the yard every year that are probably from her. One evening, she and Matsu ran down to the fence line and grabbed a cotton mouth. She had the head, he had the tail. They pulled it apart and it made a popping sound so loud that you wouldn't think it was possible. He ran off with his end, which turned into a game for him to not let us get it from him. She walked away once it was dead, but we never found her end of it. The other boy if fixed and he is just a giant cuddle bear that gets along with everyone and is really just pure love. The two sisters just turned 2 back on the 19th and together, they are huge bullies to the others. They always want to play, and they are now big enough to be a problem. We cannot let both of them out with any of the others. Only one of them at a time can play with the others, and only Matsu is strong enough to deal with each of them in all out playing. They are super sweet to people and so far, they have not tried to kill anything or get in on it when something gets into the yard. They just sit back and watch.
For most people, they are not a good breed to get. They are super stubborn, extremely strong and they will always test you to see who is the boss.
