American and Japanese Akita Puppy Play Date

PoetikDragon · August 2013

My friend has an AA puppy 12 hours younger than my girl, Gamera. They're 10.5 weeks old today. They met for the first time and had a great afternoon! He is 26 lbs to her 12 lbs (and she was the biggest girl in the litter, within 1 lb of the boys weights a week ago). There was also an adult 2.5 year old female AA there.

Oh man, those pups are so cute! And that adult Akita, very nice looking.

Great pics! Both puppies are gorgeous, as is the adult!

It is, though, hard to believe that some people/organizations still don't see them as two separate breeds. When you see them together...they are really so different!

Gamera looks very cat like next to the chunky AA pup. Both so cute!

@shibamistress I was looking at those pictures and thinking the exact same thing!

Ahh, they're both adorable! But yeah, like @shibamistress said, it makes it really obvious how different AAs and JAs are.

These are great, Claire! My favorite is the pic of your friend twith the treats...doesn't matter if they are AA or JA, at heart they are all moochers! LOL!

Here are some more photos, taken by the other puppy's owner.

They are all so gorgeous! It's so fun seeing the two pups playing together too!

And damn, that AA puppy is enormous!

Is that an artificial turf? If not, I'm mighty envious at how lush her lawn is.

PoetikDragon · August 2013

@ayk It is artificial.

I keep looking at these pics because I'm in the throes of puppy fever. What kennel are the AAs out of? I'm just wondering because they are really good looking dogs...
