About Jet (and Prinny)
Attention all Akita fans! Meet Jet our adorable and friendly 3 year old long coated Akita and his good friend Prinny. Jet is a lovely boy who enjoys meeting people especially if they offer him treats. He dances on his back legs in excitement and then sits beautifully for his reward. He can be a tad uncoordinated taking treats which makes him even more loveable.
Jet is simply stunning to look at - with his long, thick dark coat and his brown button eyes it's easy to fall in love with this cuddly grizzly bear look alike. His personality compliments his good looks - he is affectionate and attentive and would be a fabulous companion for his new family. However, please do not just be attracted by his gorgeous looks, Jet will need an arctic breed or Akita experienced family who understands this lovely breed's requirements. Jet also comes with his best friend Prinny.
Jet and Prinny haven't had a lot of social interactions with dogs outside of their immediate family but they get along with each other and are good company. We are looking for a home that will take the 2 of them and work further on their training and socialisation.
Jet is responsive to training as he wants to please you. He loves his walks - he can pull on lead however with routine and training this should reduce. Jet may suit a couple or family with older kids/teenagers. Due to his bounciness he might knock over toddlers so we'd recommend he's a better match with older kids who are confident with big dogs.
Jet is well mannered inside the house - he would love a home where he's allowed inside when his family is home. He'd enjoy a yard to play in as he's quite playful - he likes to play with balls with bells in them . He occasional likes to dig a hole in the yard and lay in it to keep cool so he has asked Santa for a clam-pool filled with sand for Christmas.
Jet is a cuddly big bear who will win you over at hello. If you love Akitas and have the love and time to commit to this gorgeous boy and his friend Prinny, then please contact us for more information on Jet and Prinny. Like many arctic breeds, they are definitely unsuited to a home with cats or pocket pets and would not suit a home that has visiting cats.
Medical notes
Jet has been vet checked and appears in good health. Prinny does have some skin allergies and will need a grain free diet.
