Yeh, Akitas can be known to not only have a short attention span - but short temper, too. Meaning they can be snappy if annoyed - so definately get Obi lovin' kids and stuff and as used to as many things as possible.

They become stupidly loyal to your family though :) And lots of ppl go ohhhhhhh ahhhhh what a pretty dog!

Obi went to puppy school last wednesday. He loved it, but he got attacked by an 8 week old jack russle that would have been the size of obi's head! little turd. All the dogs there were sooo little, i thought that Obi may hurt them, but he played very well with the other dogs. The only other dog close to his size was a rotty, but it was a bit timid, obi wanted to play with him but he kept running away. Obi goes again this wednesday.

Hes putting on weight, when we weighed him at puppy school, he had put on 1.3 kgs in a week. hes about 8.3kgs at the moment i think. Little fatty! Hes prob put on more this week, hes growing fast, slowly growing in to all his skin, but hes still got an addorable double chin :P

Dog is very cute guys, nice choice

personally I've always wanted a pure bred labrador, maybe once I finished studying will get one......

Troy, please tell me you are not gonna name your kids after star wars characters, though I think the Doc's would get a kick outta putting Princess Leila on the birth certificate of your daughter :D

for god sakes dont all three of you couples do it at the same time. I could never afford that while rebuilding the car.

hmm... formulates terrible plan to make sileighty broke.

updates lets see Obi graduated puppy school.

Obi's 15kgs at 15 weeks and about knee high already. He starting to be mischevious along with thinking hes a lapdog (Kylie spoils him)

need to take new photo

Here's a picture of my Sammy B) He's waiting for me to let him close the door for some privacy :(

Sammy is about 6 years old and 65-70lbs, he was the runt of the little so he's on the smaller side of his brother's and sister's

Akitas have the highest biting pressure out of any dog breed. Pit bulls are second in this category at an average bite pressure of 900psi. Akita's have been known to have as high as 2300psi bite pressure when fully grown. Very protective breed. Originally bred as a fighting dog. shares more genes with wild bears than any other breed. But if u raise them right it doesnt matter about the breed. Ive got a rotti cross shar pei and she is like a teddy bear around people. Will run around and play with all dogs but yet still fearless against next door's pitt bull (i mean mastiff cross as it says on the books).

nice husky... I like them too...

Ok... update.. oby is 17 weeks old and weighs prob just over 20kgs... still thinks hes a lap dog :) and no... I DONT SPOIL him... when troy tells him off he doesnt scare the dog at all... obi goes quivering when i say no!

Anyway... As soon as i get the opportunity to load pics from my phone etc.. ill put some more up. He hasnt changed much, apart from the size. Hes nick name is bear btw... should see the size of hes paws!!!!

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
