CGar…yes…very loyal to owner and good with most people but can turn badly on any dog that they don’t get along with. Luckily, for some reason, he got along great with the only two dogs on the block.
Yes, Japanese Akita…he was just over 140 lbs!!!!!!!!
Dave, I’ve always liked Akitas. I assume you had a Japanese Akita and not an American Akita? They have a similar temperament as Chows, but are very friendly if they’re well socialized as puppies.
CarGar,
did your vet check the webbing? my dog’s 10 and had a badly inflammed paw this summer, from constantly licking at the area. He had a reddish inflammation of the web space.
I gave him some benadryl and a topical steroid ointment. wrapped it daily for a week.
The inflammation subsided and he’s back to normal.
have the vet check for a bone growths as well if no improvement. older dogs can get metatarsal growths.
I’d just never heard of them before. Apparently they were bred for the sole purpose of looking like a lion and being a companion animal. Seems weird to have a dog that ginormous with no purpose but loving.
I watch his owners cat when they out of town and I always secretly wish they’d ask me to also watch the dog. He goes off to a kennel and he loves it. He gets all excited when they tell him to ‘get your bag’ (his backpack filled with his kennel gear). They love him at the kennel and he loves going b/c he gets to play with the other dogs.
Hey *rob*! I’m all for lawyer-bashing, but you should really carve out an exception for those lawyers who offered to bail you out for free if ever you get in trouble!
Really? That’s unusual isn’t it? It’s good though because you don’t feel bad leaving them.
Those are gorgeous- I never heard of a leonburger before but i adore big, trolloping dogs.
Cargar- hope she’s ok. Should I send over one of my cats to comfort her?
