This is Clyde, a striking long coated Akita looking for a new home. Currently living with three children, Clyde gets on well with them all, however the youngest is not dog savvy, and insists on trying to play with Clyde in ways he does not like! Initially curious with new people, Clyde prefers to approach in his own time whilst he susses people out! Fussy with treats, when Clyde has something he likes he will sit and give his paw - having attended puppy classes with his owner, he has a basic knowledge of commands however much has been forgotton. Clyde does not have many boundaries at present, and requires an owner who will take him back to basics, to ensure that he understands his place in the pack and how he ought to behave! Whilst not being strong on the lead, Clyde gets incredibly excited to be out for a walk, and bounds around, bouncing happily! This could easily be resolved with regular lead training, he is certainly more responsive outside of the house and seems to enjoy his walks.

Currently living with children aged 2and upwards, we feel that Clyde would be best placed in a very experienced (preferably Akita experienced)home without young children, with an owner who is prepared to dedicate time and effort to training and playing with him! Living with a medium sized dog in his present home, we do feel that Clyde would benefit from being with another dog, pending successful introductions.
