Hachi

Hachi! This year and a half old boy is just about as regal as Akita's come.. some moments, then others? Well, let's just say he's no stranger to the Akita bunny hops, leaps, and bounds, it is seriously adorable watching this big old 92 pound boy get down for some fun! But those fun times come with lottttsss of rest afterwards, he's essentially just one huge puppy; without mentioning his soft, plush coat. While Hachi is typically more aloof with general strangers, treats help entice him to create the initial bond, and from there; he's as loyal as can be. His name has got to be about Hachiko the loyal dog, because he's the type to follow his people around like a shadow - which is unlike most, independent Akitas. Moreover, Hachi gets along well with other dogs, and while cats & other small critters are out of the picture for this guy, we figure that won't be much of an issue when it comes to this guy finding the love! Hachi's favorite time of the day is either going for walks, playtime, or snuggling up on our meet & greet futon. He's a boy of all trades, this one, and we love him for it! We are currently working on the basic commands with him, and he's learning quick, of course, when the treats are up to par with the commands! We think Hachi will do phenomenally in most well-verse Akita homes, whether you've got the experience, or you've done your research on the breed, he will be a great dog for you.
