- I have a couple of questions for you Akita owners out there. I have pretty
- much made up my mind that I want an Akita. My only question/worry is their
- interaction with children. Our first child is due very shortly and before I
- get an Akita I want to make sure that they are suitable around children. I
- will probably wait until that baby is 4-6 month old before we get the dog.
- Should I wait longer? Or should I get the dog sooner?
-
- Also, how are Akitas for protection? My wife likes the idea of having a large
- dog to take with her on walks (or is it the dog taking my wife for a walk? :-)
- ). Any other things I should know about Akitas before I get one?
