alright i think there is some slight missunderstanding i never said i was going to mate her i only wanted some advice i might have if she was pure but it is a big MIGHT .you see i usually get a dog from the dogs home and they are mostly mutts so when i got boo and i was told she was a pure akita i got a little carried away and why are so many dogs being put down

Because they cannot rehome the ones they have , so any with behavioural problems or old or just been in kennels for too long tend to get put to sleep , even healthy dogs with no problems get put to sleep , it all costs money to keep strays and abandoned dogs and money does not grow on trees , and with the current problems with money people are dumping their dogs as they cannot afford to keep them any more . I urge you as i posted before to reconsider breeding , even your JRT , as i said co you know 10 people who want one ??? not saying she would have 10 but you can never tell untill they arrive.
Read through some of the threads on here about breeding and see how much hard work goes in to doing it from start to finish ,

In an ideal world we could all keep as many dogs as we liked and there would be no homeless dogs or dogs that had been abused or killed , its not as simple as you think .

I think your dog is beautiful - looks like a mongrel to me. I would keep her as a pet and let the experienced breeders do their job. Just enjoy your pet.

Looks like she might have some shepherd in her imo

But new born puppies are lovely.................

All that mess clearing virtually 24/7 for 8 weeks or more

All those feeds

All those sleepless nights

Then there's.....

Costly health checks and innoculations

Sore teats for mum

And the problem of finding homes for the puppies!

Go on breed from her if you can find a stud dog (his fees too)

Why should it only be us pedigree dog breeders who have all the fun?

You forgot the cost of a possible c-section out of hours around £1000 or more,possibilty of loosing the bitch,a high chance of her rejecting her pups,this means feeding every two hours day and night,making sure they toilet ok.

Are you willing to put your girls life in danger because you think, not know that she will make a good mother.
I had a bitch that was an awful mother,I mean awful,she delivered her pups herself too.
Could you spot the signs if she got into trouble while whelping ?
Could you cope with deformed stillborn puppies,
Believe me breeding is damn hard work,tiring and heartbreaking at times.When things go wrong they go wrong big time.

i don`t think i realised how bad it would be and no i would not willingly put there life at risk you have all really made me think hard about this and you are right it sounds awful

Great so get on with giving her lots of cuddles and enjoying her as a pet!!

Believe me unless you know what your doing it's best left to those who know,
We had a terrible time with one of our bitches,she had complications right from the word go,first pup was breach we had to help deliver it,fourth was breach too,fifth was stillborn,the last one was stuck in the birth canal and dead.
Our bitch had to undergo a GA and section to remove the pup,it cost us a small fortune.

Any breeder will tell you that you risk your bitches life when breeding a litter,it's also important to breed responsibly and for the right reasons.

Enjoy your girl the way she is,she's lovely but in my opinion not breeding stock.

Hi I think your dogs is lovely. I think there are two types from info I have picked up on this site the Akita and Akita inu (I think) I am sure that Tigerkatz breeds Akita's /Akita inu and she has been a fountain of Knowledge to another Akita owner so it might be worth Pm her. If you are unsure of your dogs background then your only option should be to get her spayed and not breed IMHO. You do not know her parents health background or even what her breed is. Enjoy your pretty dog just the way she is.
