Aniko is approximately 1 year 6 mths old White with blackish brown ears and right side face mask. She was found as a stray by local animal control.

Aniko is a very willing to learn and has responded quickly to commands. She understands sit, no, and down fairly well. With consistent training she should progress quickly. She is learning heel and stay. She was initially food and toy possessive towards my dog Tacori only when we got her. But in just days she has gotten over it with strict supervision (she raids food dishes). She has been able to play well with a 1 year old male boxer and does not seem to show dog aggression towards others, she just needs training on how she should behave with other dogs. She is also being socialized in the neighborhood with adults, children, male and female, she has shown great behavior. She would do great in a fenced yard, but she also walks very well on the leash. She has proven to be crate trained and house trained. She stays in the crate when we are not home and is taken out on a leash before we leave and right when we get home, when told to go potty she will go right away.The only time you lose her attention is with small animals in the woods, she has a strong hunting instinct towards wild animals. She has come in supervised contact with my cat and is very interested, but did not show aggression just strong interests to see what she is. She will do well with someone who is willing to continue her training, she is a big puppy. A big puppy with energy but also shows to relax in the house when told. She is also very friendly, outgoing attractive Akita, she is always being complemented.

Aniko is a all around great puppy with lots of potential.
