It is American Akita in Finland and it just happens to be that big for real.

Ok, I rephrase that. Some of the edges look a little blurry.

Makes me think though, how scary would this dog look hairless eh?

I had a Great Pyranese who did the same thing! I’d be laying in the snow, and he’d walk over and straddle me. If I tried to move, he’d move along with me! It was fun, but it took a while to get up

I miss that dog. Wonderful breed.

It’s a Finnish site, a bit like Facebook. There are lots of other pictures of that same dog and it’s not photoshopped, iz just a huge goggie ! (Oh, and it also says that it’s an American Akita, a male one.)

Exactly! Grr… I have a lady in one of my training classes with a Jack that ‘just wants her to be like Eddie on Frasier!’ yet doesn’t work with her dog. She somehow seems to think that one hour a week is enough to make a Jack behave. Terriers of any sort need a lot of time and patience when it comes to training – Jack’s even more so.

That website says the dog is 60 kilogram …. 132 pounds. WOUF ! Big dog ……big dog poop.
75 cm …. 30 inches ….. tall ? I can’t read whatever that language is.

Aww, that’s a big little puppy. In my experience, the bigger the dog, the more likely a lapdog at heart. A few weeks ago, my Neapolitan mastiff puppy was lying on my lap when I was sitting on the ground. His shoulders were to the right of my legs, and his hips were to the left. It was actually kind of uncomfortable, but he was happy, so I petted him like that for a few minutes.

Or how many of the people who get Jack Russel Terriers don’t realize how hyper they can get.

Or how some beginning dog owners don’t realize that even some short-haired dogs shed like crazy.

That’s what I was thinking. He definitely has an Akita look, but the snout screams St. Bernard.

Giant mutts are cute. :3

My parents’ golden retriever used to do that–he knew he wasn’t allowed on the sofa, but I believe he honestly thought if he was on your lap, he wasn’t really on the sofa.

Believe me, unless you’re skilled at handling them, you should probably start out with smaller Akitas. They’re extremely intelligent and willful dogs and, sometimes, have a tendency towards dog aggression.

Not badmouthing the Akita breeds or anything, and I don’t want anyone to read this and think that I’m saying all Akitas are this way, but it’s just something to consider. Kind of like how you don’t just want to jump into owning pitties.

That dog is still waaaay too big for an Akita. American or Japanese.

Yet you did an awesome job of it! We have a lab that comes to Doggie DayCamp who does the exact same thing. He’s very sneaky about it, too, so you don’t realize what’s going on until it’s already too late!

It also could be because he’s closer to the camera. The same thing happened with my bullmastiff. Even though he’s big (140 lbs.) he’s not as big as he looked in our christmas photo.

Oh hay hueg goggie!

The pic is, as someone said before, from a Finnish site sort of like MySpace, you can find the original here http://www.irc.fi/_netta

The owner says the doggie is an American Akita and weighs about 60kg (132 pounds).

I’d say it’s not ’shopped, the doggie is big, the girl isn’t exceptionally tiny, but the angle the pic was taken from sure makes them look like an awesome pair.

Yes, akita/mastiff cross was my thought when looking at it. Akitas can get pretty large even on their own, but they usually aren’t quite as bulky as that, and definitely don’t have quite such large heads – bu mastiffs do. Plus, its fur is shorter than that of most akitas I’ve seen – a little more like mastiff fur.

Although I suspect it’s probably partly the angle of the photo that exaggerates the size difference. Still… pretty sizable dog!

This is an American Akita.
Someone said earlier that Akita Inus get larger, but this is not true. Akit Inus from Japan get about 60 pounds. American Akitas can tip the scales at over 110 pounds.

This is a purebred. The wrinkles and skin mean nothing. It is just a large dog.

And remember, just because the standard says a breed is a certain size doesn’t mean that no specimen can be larger.

Japanese Akitas (Akita Inu) do get that big. American Akitas do not.
