    @octatonic - it couldn't have been a Shiba Inu, they're way too small (smaller than collies).

    It sounds like an Akita or Akita mix to me. It's very rare that one will be all-black, but it can happen, or it could've been a very dark brindle:


    In fact, thinking about it, I'm sure I've seen a GSD-Akita mix that was all-black and didn't have the curled tail.

    For what it's worth, @Bucket - despite the newspaper reports, you don't need to get jumpy around Akitas. They'll generally ignore you unless you're encroaching on their personal space or you look threatening.

    FTFY.
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
    Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

    Akitas as are fine if properly trained. Otherwise you risk 60 kilos of very strong dog going out of control. Brothers kids sleep on his ones belly with no issues. Mind you if I lived in PE I'd have a couple in the garden. Very defensive of property and owners. And serious snap on them.

    As with all primitive dogs ("primitive" in terms of "closer to their ancestors", not "less capable" or "less intelligent"), living with Akitas is more like a roommate agreement than an owner-dog relationship. As long as they're given enough reason to trust that their owners can deal with issues that come up, there won't ever be a problem. Take them outside that protective circle, and there are problems.

  • Without dogs I think I'd be just about done with this shitty, corrupt world. Ooh there's a cheery thought to drag the mood down.
