Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dakota is a little over a year old, born Jan 15, 2012, neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained.
This sweet, sweet boy comes to us as an owner surrender, and his breeder would not take him back. He previously lived with a female Akita and does very well with large dogs. This rambunctious puppy can be a bit too intense for small dogs or cats, so he would need to go to a home without them. He is uncomfortable around small children, so he would need to go to a home with kids over the age of 12 who know how to treat a dog of his size. He would be happiest in a home with the right large female for him to play with!
