Description

Dog Breed: Akita (medium coat). Bruno is a male Akita puppy. a stunning dark charcoal brindle, looking almost like a little tiger with his intricate coat patterns., born on January 7, 2026. Bruno is the "thinker" of the group. He features a bold white blaze across his chest and delicate white tips on his toes that contrast beautifully with his dark, plush fur. Bruno is an adorable puppy, and please note that Akitas grow into powerful, dignified, and complex adult dogs. Please have experience with this breed, or research and make sure you have the time and interest to raise an Akita. Often recommended as only dog, or with a different sex dog in the same household as they can become same sex intolerant as they mature. While his siblings are rushing in head-first, Bruno prefers to observe from the sidelines for a moment. He is a gentle, shy boy who appreciates a soft touch and a quiet voice. Don’t let his initial timidness fool you, though—once he knows he’s safe, he warms up into the sweetest, most affectionate little bear you’ve ever met. Bruno is looking for a patient home that will help his confidence grow. In return, he’ll give you a lifetime of quiet devotion and very soft puppy kisses. Adoption fee $525. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application.

Akita

A.K.A.: Akita Inu, Japanese Akita, Great Japanese Dog, American Akita, Akita Ken, Akita dog, Matagi Inu, Odate-inu, Odate dog
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.
