I used to hear that puppy akitas were ideal to raise with children. They would bond on those kids and protect them with their lives.

The downside is they might rip somebody to shreds just for coming too close to them.

I never trusted them though. Something a little strange about that breed. Not like other dogs.

Police had one in my town a few years back. The canine cop raised the dog with his children. One day the dog went after his son & almost ripped the child's face off. My husband hates Akita's after our Akita went nuts each time he picked our then baby up. Funny as long as he wasn't near the baby she liked him well enough.
