YOSHI, 6 y.o. A/M, red fawn and white pinto, black mask. EXTRA EXTRA LARGE!!! This guy IS truly as big as a couch (which he loves to lay on!). He is 169 lbs. of Akita. He has recently been tested for thyroid, so as soon as results are back, we'll see whether he needs meds or just a diet. He is currently on one!
He is a friendly, outgoing guy. Used to teens, lived with two female dogs (Akita and mixed husky) and two cats (which he will chase if they run). He has been around dogs and cats since he was a puppy, so is not actively aggressive, but prefers girls to boys (dogs, not kids). He is housebroken. It's been several years since he has seen a crate (or lead), but he is very home oriented.
Was ousted b/c he was just too big around a toddler. Kept knocking the baby down when he turned around (can you imagine!!??? A real live pony in the house!).
