    Yes we have an akita whos is 6 years old and our B (Jaycee) whos is almost 9 months old. How big is your akita ours is 135 to 140 lbs. This is our 3rd one over the years and Sterling is a long hair,

    Your two look very nice together. Sterling and Jaycee play together but Sterling has the basement while Jaycee has main floor he has to much hair. Sterling come upstairs just does not get to stay. He's happy whole basement with our daughter and her cat DB.

    My akita (Mishka) is about 95 pounds, although her dad is about 130lbs. All of our dogs are primarily outside dogs, although basenji spends much more time inside than the other two. And when it's windy/rainy/cold in the winter, all of them sleep inside, although the akita does not like it inside much.

    I still over see and watch when Jaycee and Sterling are together but I will say may god help the one that would touch Jaycee. Akita's are very much family dogs and love there family all two and four legged ones.

    As you can tell, Lana (the B) is the alpha dog!

    Thanks! You should see Lana walking all over Mishka (the Akita) when she got her pinned down!

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    As an alternative to Booties, you could try a paw wax. I haven't tried it but its been recommended to me before. Protects from the salt damaging the paws. Here is a link to a brand I have seen. http://musherssecret.net/

    I have been bike riding 10 times with Siren. 8 of those times I have returned home limping or bleeding. Each time I go out I think I have the issue of cutting in front of the bike solved. Each time Siren finds a way to cut in front of the bike or try to go between the wheels. Siren understands the basic commands: come, sit, stay, and no. Unfortunely, she only understands when you have her undivided attention (meaning nothing else is around or moving).

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
