We have an Akita at home and anybody can touch or pat him as long as the owner is beside him. But if the Akita is inside his territory and you are not a family member, better watch out. Akita’s are great family dogs, excellent guard dogs (not the noisy type, they simply attack). We had dogs since I was little girl and so far, I can say that the Akita is the best of all the dogs we had.

I agree huskies and samoyeds are beautiful.. I have 2 siberian huskies and 1 samoyed.. they are definately not guard dogs though..t hey love everyone.. the sammie at least barks though, the huskies.. not so much… and about the huskies mauling cats.. I have 2 cats as well.. and they are just fine with them… but if a rabbit, squirrel or fast pace leaf cross their path.. watch out!

Normally you should ask before petting a dog, because you never know their temperament, but I have no idea why the women would be mad at a pretty lady like you

I have a Jack Russell Terrier (5 years old) and an Akita/Husky mix (6 months old). The JRT is very friendly, but a tough lil’ girl. She is extremely loyal, always standing at the window and watching out for me when I am outside. Just tonight she stayed at the window waiting for me for 3 hours while I was gone. My Akita/Husky is really learning from my JRT, and they have become best buddies ever since the Jack Russell stood up for her against two huge dogs (when the puppy was 8 weeks old). The Akita/Husky is just as protective of the JRT, and my family. She is nice to affable people at the park, but on property she tries to attack strange dogs, and HATES strangers. This is ALL at only 6 months of age.

I live near Washington, D.C. so a little different from the Philippines, I am not sure my Akita/Husky would like the environment. She needs to drink a ton of water just in the Summer over here. I can’t wait until Winter, if I get some snow I am going to get her trained to pull a sled.

If you would like to see some pics of the two dogs I can send you some.

I have a well-trained labrador (a black one) and they are the most obedient of all types of dogs. They look menacing too because of their size but they won’t harm anyone. I must admit they are not attack dogs but with proper training they can be taught how to jump on and bring down an adversary.

I read up that Boxers aren’t exactly guard dogs, though they can be trained to be one. They do look really fierce though! Awww, I’d love to have a Samoyed someday.

I had a Samoyed before, a lovely dog. Really difficult to walk him though because he’s really strong, being a working sled-dog kind of breed. But because he wasn’t raised with cats he mauled a few stray cats that crossed his path. American eskies (one that lives in my house now) are a lot friendlier and playful, but I don’t think they’re the guard dog type, heh.

I didn’t know that pitbull/bulldog breeds are banned in the UK until recently because of their aggressiveness. At least you’ll know that you have a proper guard dog, hehe.
