Bitter Sweet

Main coon ate tail and tried to give this to dogs or at least a gift to whom
Would want it, Mouse was full of cat salvia, dogs would know it’s from cat
There sense of smell is way beyond our small minds. I have seen this cat lick my dog’s noses. This is one big mouse and this is also why I need cats, so is it ok for my dogs to eat this mouse? Or will they get parasites

 

Scoooter what does YIS mean and I know how to spell I was just being lazy but I truly don't know what YIS means

 

Yea alot of game and prey driven dogs cant stand cats, other dogs and most animals in general. This is not always true but most of the dogs i have owned are this way even when socialized early.

 

My male is a cat killer from hell he cant stand them even when he was a puppy he hated them. But my female is different she liked them when she was younger but is starting not to like them now even though she has been socialized with them.

 

are those permanent tie outs?

 

You have a nice looking dog there Clay

 

Thank you much Pit 5

 

When I got my white dog it was not really festive other wise I would have taken my camera to take pics of my pups parents I was to sad But not to sad to get the pup I guess .
Now as I search my minds view of the father dog and mother I do believe I have a 50% American bull dog 50% APBT 3 weeks ago she was 44 pounds now she is 65pounds going on 8 months here are pictures of ABD 50% APBT 50% that is not my dog
I included BR’s post cause I think it hits home as to what many including me have
Now wile I am writing this all I hear are my dogs playing with such – it sounds like they are killing each other.

<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

 

Here are five of my ABD 50% APBT 50% look the same don’t they ?

May god have mercy on my soul <O:p</O:p

 

I am not saying every APBT or every hunting dog even is aggressive to other animals. My Akita bitch will grab any living thing she sees outside because that is what is in her blood as a hunting dog. Inside she tolerates puppies, and my birds. She has lived with cats before, even though outside she will grab a cat up if they get too close. I understand there are intelligent dogs that know the difference between work time and house time, and I know that as far the APT goes some of the greats have gotten along famously with other dogs or small animals outside of the box.

What I am saying, is to remember your dogs are young still yet. This time is not really a good judge of how they will be as an adult. I'm telling you to be prepared and ready rather than taken by surprise if things change. That doesn't mean I am telling you things WILL change - that I cannot say.

 

Akita, that is the only dog i have ever been bitten by. Not to fond of those dogs. They are realy good to their owners though.

 

Clay - you are right, they are a very loyal guarding breed. I would not want to be on the wrong side of the leash with one however. They need the right type of owner too, I will admit they can be dangerous in the hands of an inexperienced or stupid handler.

 

I had a customer who I hung wall cover for he told me of the time he had an Akita
It was his sons dog well he had the dog in his van and some guy must of thought
To take some thing from the van , because when the owner got back to his van to go home he found a finger in the truck. I wish I asked more questions back then but I believe he did not call the police. I've seen one<ST1:p</ST1:p who barked a lot at me but some must be silent guardians.

 

Now I am sure if I came home with any of these my wife would be in love as long as it’s a female

 

This is what one day you have.

Interesting how varied they are I find it hard to believe a Tosa could win over them unless it was done on some technicality like silence wile fighting

 

Here’s the original pic I got on crags list which is where I found my white dog, shes on the bottom left, little spot on her tail .You could see how it could be tempting. $100 she cost

 

The American Bull dog is a nice looking dog
And looks real compared to an Ambully
At least it once was called American Pit Bull Dog
There has got to be more to this breed then meets the eye.

 

The reason they're so varied is there is actually two different breeds that are commonly called Akita the Akita Inu (original Japanese) and the American Akita (basically the ambully of the Akita world) ofcourse ignorant BYBs often breed the two together resulting in even more variety.

You started to get the idea right, but it is not an "Ambully" of the Akita world.

If you read into the history of the breed you will realize that the Japanese Akita is what the breed looked like early in its development. Over the years the breed began to look larger and more "bear like" (more like that is called the "American Akita" today). After the war service men took some of these dogs home. The Japanese are very private type folks and did not like that the dog of their country was being exported to other countries, so they took the Akita back to the "Matagi" style of breeding (ie the older look the breed had early during its development) in order to ensure they still had a breed of their own.

So, in a way the Akitas that were originally exported from Japan after WWII (which became the base for the American Akita) are more true to form to the breed as it was in Japan once developed, than the Japanese Akita Inu today. What they basically did was bring the breed back in history in order to keep it separate.

Then, as the Akita was bred for years in America it also began to take on more of its own look simply due to what I mentioned above - the Japanese are very private and secretive about their breed so the American folks could not exactly go back to them for advice and standards.

Over the years the breeds grew apart and the Japanese made more rules to disqualify certain colors and muzzle patterns from their show ring in order to make only the "Japanese Akita" qualify.

It really is not a case of the breed becoming "Am Bullied" and people taking over breeding strictly for looks - it is more a case of complete separation of the two countries developing the breed.

It was the Japanese who crossed the Akita to make the fuller "American" version that we prefer today, they simply took the dog back further in its breed development after the war.

 

agreed siberian huskys have extreme prey drive as well more than one mite think
