Buying a dog?

[nuggety goodness]

I've got an Akita and he's awesome!!!

Kinda like the husky's bigger, tougher brother... Independent and stubborn but very loyal... They also don't need heaps of exercise so it's good for me, a decent size backyard and a 20min run around with him is good with a walk 2-3 nights a week. Prone to hip dysplasia (as most large breeds are) and ear infections

Runts are definitely the go, Yogi was and he is now 2 inches taller and about 5-10Kgs heavier than his siblings...
