Mine wears a harness. He is not big on it, but I hate the choking noise when he pulls against the collar and he is strong! The one I have is a quick release so we don't have to buckle.

I am anxious to see the answers you get. My dog has very short hair, but he sheds constantly! Your dog is gorgeous!!!

In my prayers and thoughts as well. Keep a good thought and remember even if it is cancer. Colon cancer is one of the cancers with the Highest cure rate! I don't think there is a person alive who has not been touched by cancer one way or the other...

I have the puggle. I can't taking him to a groomer to be shaved. His hair is so short now. However, good point. He does shed like crazy when he gets excited. The first few days we had him, every time we spoke to him, he shook.

Lord, I think this got way out of hand. for what its worth I am including a pic of Rocky. He looks very very much like your dog.

A specialist sounds like the way to go. I also think the dog was startled. Very unlikely that you have had it all this time and its the first time he has attacked anyone. Would love to know exactly what your employee was thinking. He should neve...

Love your sense of humor. It was great, intend sharing.

How very sad for everyone. Our neighbors had two Akita's both gorgeous and both very friendly. The little ones used to "ride" them.
I feel sorry for the poor woman, but am with the rest of you, what the heck was that dog doing there??

I now have Rocky on dogster. http://www.dogster.com/dogs/506476
I hope I did it right.
Love him to death!!
Still can't figure out how to get this picture as "my picture...

I had a picture it seemed easy. Dog has grown tried to update no matter what pic I use I get the error message. Does it have to be saved as something? Just downloaded from the camera and they are in folders. Maybe will try downloading to desktop.
