Socialization- Socializing will help to lay a solid foundation for the future of your Akita's temperament and acceptance to new obstacles. Socializing at an early age is imperative and for the rest of your akitas life if you want him to be a well socialized family pet. As far as the family children are concerned, there are a few worries. Akitas are devoted, patient friends and protectors of children. Akitas are typically very gentle with children, and it is said that Japanese mothers often left their children with only the Akitas to watch over and protect them. You must respect this and not only allow your akita to be around your children but others as well so they respect all children as well as adults. The key to owning an akita is what you put into your akita is what you will get out of your akita. No time spent with the akita as a pup and for the life of the dog you are probably going to encounter a problem. They are like children you need to put a lot of time into them if you want them to become the best they can be. GUARANTEES Seller guarantees the following: Between the ages of 2 and 3 years, the Dog will be certified free of hip dysplasia by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
