I purchased an Akita from Sondaisa Akitas in March of 2011 and it turned out to be the biggest mistake. I have owned akitas all my life. My dad traveled to Japan 3-4 times every year for his job and brought our first family Akita home from there when I was a child. Since then we have owned over 8 different akitas in the last 30 years from various breeders and rescue organizations. The Akita we purchased from Sondaisa Akitas was by far the worst and most expensive of any Akita I have ever purchased. I am extremely familiar with this breed and its unique needs and challenges and due to conscientious training and care of all my dogs have never, ever had a problem with any of them, except for the one from Sondaisa. My akitas were always well socialized, trained, and cared for, and the one from Sondaisa never received any different care or training than any of the others, yet it was an unruly, disobedient, and aggressive dog from the very first, leading me to believe there is an inherent streak of aggression in her breeding line. I have always kept cats and other dogs around my other akitas with no problems whatsoever, all family animals that were raised together always got along together, but the dog from Sondaisa Akitas had problems with my cats from the very beginning and with other dogs as well. In the course of this animal's life she killed 3 chickens, 4 cats, and 2 small dogs. All of which were animals that came on our property, but still I have never had another dog react to animals the way that this one did. We consulted an animal behaviorist and our vet and they agreed that knowing us and our history with animals, there was something inherently aggressive in this dog. We did everything we could to contain her and be responsible dog owners for her but we can't control other cats and small unleashed dogs running onto our property and unfortunately after killing yet another small dog, she drew the attention of someone unsavory and was poisoned on our property somehow while we were away. We contacted Sondaisa Akitas on numerous instances with our concerns for this dog and of course, she tried to make it seem that it was our fault that she was aggressive, that we were bad dog owners. She also accused us of poisoning our own dog. However, our vet, our animal behaviorist, and all friends who know us, know that our other dogs have always been well-behaved, well treated, and trustworthy companions, unlike the dog from Sondaisa Akitas. DO NOT BUY A DOG FROM SONDAISA IF YOU ARE SEEKING A TRUSTWORTHY COMPANION FOR YOUR FAMILY. SHE IS BREEDING EXCLUSIVELY FOR LOOKS WITH NO REGARD TO TEMPERMENT, CREATING DANGEROUS AND UNTRUSTWORTHY ANIMALS!

I’ve been a customer of Sondaisa Akitas and know her dogs very well. Aggression is always tied to how you raise them. That’s been proven time and time again by various dog experts. Just watch “Puppy Culture.” Every dog is different so you do have to adjust how you raise them. Also, you may have accidentally exposed your dog to a situation or circumstance your other Akitas never experienced. Blaming it on genetics and temperament is a sign that you are not owning your own mistakes. There are always risks with Akitas, everyone knows that. Maybe you got careless with this one? Just look at her Facebook page. She has a LOT of very happy owners including myself.
