Working Akita...


Does anyone do any working type activities with there Akita? Like SAR, Packing, or Tracking? How about Mushing, I would like to try to mush with Hilo - but I'm not sure an Akita will really enjoy mushing.





Anyone tried any of these activities [or any others] with their Akita?

    I have mushed for years with Akitas, recreationally. The Japanese or lighter boned smaller ones are better for the sport. They loved it. Whe I had past ones, we would mush to the frozen lake, go ice fishing, get out a hibachi and cook fish with seasoning. I would de bone the fish and the dogs loved it.

    That is very cool that you mush that much with your Akita. I'm very excited to try it w/ Hilo and Ahi - but I probably have a year or so before I can do anything like that with him. Meantime, I'm training Ahi now - it's just to hot outside right now to have her running a lot.


    How about packing?

    Well, Jack's parents were sniffers. His dad was narcotics and his mom was bomb squad.
