Agreed. Great movie. My brother had an Akita. She was a beautiful animal.

Akitas are very handsome dogs but in my admittedly limited experience, they are strange and volatile. A friend and I once witnessed an Akita vigorously humping a young cattlebeast out in a field, and the dog was positioned at the opposite end you might expect. Just look away, kids! On another occasion I was walking my well-mannered collie (and who doesn't love Lassie) down a city street, and this dude crossed on to the sidewalk with two Akitas on leash. The Akitas lost their minds when when they saw my dog, it was all the guy could do to hang on and hold them back from the attack. Very disconcerting.
Hellen Keller had the first one in the USA.

I agree they can be volatile as you mentioned. I had Cody one weekend with me in the Catskills and one of my other buddies in the house had this dog, a mutt I believe, and one morning Cody went after it and bit him. Wasn't bad and that other dog had issues with other dogs before...but still no excuse. And like you, I didn't say they are great dogs...I said my brother had one and she was beautiful. She was also very good with my 2 neices and their friends who were little at time. (this is 15-25 yrs back or more).

What DDC costing in your parts, in Albany I am paying 22.50 cash money each day if I buy in packs of 20. Do you get a discount if you dog gets all A's? The other day i was looking. My dog was laying right by a pole every dogs uses to pee. All day he was there. He came home yellow. I set a horse troth up outside and throw him in when i get home to wash the grime off. Best 80 bucks I spent so far. Pretty muddy out lately

LOL
Ours is 30/day, for a full day which is from 7A to 6P. I get him there around 7 and get him around 5. Totally agree that it's the best money a dog owner can spend. That lil bastard is whopped when I get him. This place has both indoor and outdoor spaces, 3 of each, depending on your dog. Right now he's in with the pups all ranging from 4mo to 1yr old. They don't have a webcam which is most likely good, I'd get nothing done. They do post pics on their website along with their report card each evening.
Looks like a lot of folks' write-ups for ski days, just without the weather, pow reporting and pics.
