Deamon only barks while play wrestling with my Akita. He loves to follow us around and sit in our laps. he is a sweet and happy dog. He shows the best characteristics of both breeds. He is five months old and only weighs five pounds. His markings are symetrical. He has been very easy to train. He can sit, stay, wait for his food, stay out of the kithen, heel, and fetch. We are still working on the potty training but he is catching on quickly. I would go anywhere to have another dog just like him.
