Monkey Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Is anyone else concerned about the proliferation of Akita dogs? I?m a dog lover and not easily scared but I?ve started crossing the road when I see one. I?ve never seen such aggressive dogs. I saw one last night coming very close to attacking a dog on Lordship Lane. Same dog then tried to bite a passer-by?s hand. Owner then casually walked into The Bishop with his dangerous dog?

KidKruger Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Basically it's legal, so not much can be done about it - regardless how concerned one is !I am also wary about the tougher breeds (especially since a nasty incident on Goose Green in Feb), but am finding that avoidance, where possible, is the only remedy.

intexasatthe moment Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/akita/"not recommended with other dogs""Akitas are quiet, fastidious dogs. Wary of strangers and often intolerant of other animals, Akitas will gladly share their silly, affectionate side with family and friends. They thrive on human companionship. The large, independent-thinking Akita is hardwired for protecting those they love. They must be well socialized from birth with people and other dogs."

smooch Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Just my input - but never had a problem with these dogs - either with our without my dog. They usually seem lively but goofy. sorry you have had a bad experience.

Angelina Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 It all depends on the owner and how well the dogs are trained.I would also exercise caution as I don't see that many well trained dogs when I'm out with mine.

Jess_mw Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I think I've come across this duo recently whilst walking my dog on Lordship L. They're strong dogs and can easily take their owners for a ride! It's all about responsible dog ownership and training though, no need to hate on the breeds...

A dog is a dog. Is it responsible dog ownership to buy a large, strong dog that's wary of strangers when you live in a busy London suburb with small (if you're lucky) Gardens?

sweetgirl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 My cousin had an Akita who went for a family member, straight for her face!It was a family dog & used to people but I guess unpredictable I?m not a fan of dogs myself???
