Description
Dog Breed: Akita. Meet Oso! Oso is a 1.5-year-old Akita/Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and beautiful manners. About 70 lbs, tall and fluffy, he’s a sweet, well-mannered “teen” who can be a little shy at first but quickly blossoms into an affectionate, loyal companion once he feels safe. He enjoys outdoor play and zoomies, then happily settles into a calm, cuddly house dog. Oso does great with other dogs, is house and crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and would thrive in a home with a yard and a confident canine buddy. If you’re looking for a soft, loving soul who rewards patience with deep devotion, Oso could be your perfect match

Overview:
The Akita is a majestic and powerful breed originating from the mountainous regions of Japan, initially bred for hunting large game like bears and wild boar. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their substantial size, typically weighing between 70-130 pounds, and their dense double coat, which comes in various colors including red, fawn, sesame, white, and brindle. They possess a distinctive curled tail and a broad, triangular head with small, erect ears. In terms of temperament, Akitas are known for being loyal, courageous, and often described as "cat-like" in their independence and fastidiousness. While deeply devoted to their families, they can be reserved and even wary of strangers, requiring early socialization to ensure a well-adjusted adult. Due to their strong prey drive and independent nature, they are generally not recommended for first-time dog owners and thrive with experienced handlers. They can be good family dogs for those who understand their need for personal space and consistent training, but their size and sometimes aloof nature make them less suitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Health-wise, the breed can be prone to conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and autoimmune disorders like Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
