I definitely agree with going to the Humane Society and finding the perfect dog...

but if you're going for a purebred, Akitas are the way to go. Big, beautiful, cuddly, smart, good-tempered, and they scare off obnoxious door to door solicitors!

My parents got our Akita at the Humane Society and she's just amazing. If I can find a picture I'll post.

The only caveat is the hair -- they have lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of hair. (Medium length hair -- about 2-3 inches long, but a lot of it, and it's thick.) But a good vacuum cleaner and a dog brush will take care of that no problem.
