People,

Much, much, much appreciation for all the advice given.

My wife and I are now re-thinking the addition of an Akita to the household!

We will research things further but in view of your kind and helpful responses
I think we will now be looking at an alternative breed.

Keep up the good work and may you and your dogs live full and healthy lives,

tks & regards Steve
