Hubba hubba, we love Bubba!

Talk about a love bug, Bubba is a super affectionate, exuberant dog who wants, oh, nothing much, only aaaaaallll the hugs, scritches, and kisses he can get; basically loads of contact with his human friends.

Laptime? Oh yes, please.

Be aware that he will jump up for attention—and he's a strong boy. Thus, a home with older children only is recommended.

Bubba did excellent on his behavior tests, unbothered by us messing with him and his food bowl, even though he wolfed up the special test meal with intense gusto.

He's pretty good on leash, too, though untrained.

He likes treats, which he takes with a gentle mouth.

If you were to happen across Bubba, you would likely find him in his standard mode, living his best life no matter where he finds himself, sporting a huge, tongue-lolling grin on his big ol' face and begging for love from everybody.

He seems to do well with other dogs,

Bubba will need to be neutered before going home with you.

He keeps his inner kennel tidy. Though we can't make guarantees, he may be easy to housetrain.

We do not have information about his attitude toward cats at this time.

As always, a meet-and-greet is required if you have other dogs at home.

The Japanese Akita is a regal and powerful breed known for their loyal and protective nature. Originating from Japan, they boast a dignified appearance with triangular ears and a plush double coat in various colors. These dogs are independent thinkers, requiring consistent training and socialization from an early age. Japanese Akitas are deeply devoted to their family, but can be aloof with strangers. With a history rooted in hunting and guarding, they require a confident and experienced owner to bring out their best qualities.
