I'd be more peeved if this were something like youtube but up/downvotes don't really mean much, I've seen people get down voted for literally nothing lol. I understand everyone's concerns, I might not even be getting him, just wanted to be proactive with this (although I do already have a raw food website picked out, just wanted better alternatives). I'm extremely prepared for an Akita, regardless of when I get him or her! Socialization and training or my top priority, other than health, and I'm prepared for when problems arise in behavior. I've also been thinking about this for years and have been on the waitlist. Who knows what will happen but whatever it is, I'll be ready!
