Need expert advice on Akita, Samoyed, and Husky breeds

I think the Akita, Samoyed and Husky breeds are beautiful dogs and I admire their independence. However, I'm torn over whether or not I should get a dog like one of these because I've read a lot about them that is really making me think twice. I have a few questions for anyone who has experience with any or all of these breeds. 1. I live in the country and wouldn't like to keep my dog penned up or on a leash during the day. I've heard that these dogs will run off if they aren't "restrained." Is this true? 2. I have a cat and I need a dog that will get along well with her. I know these dogs like to chase birds and other small animals. Do you think I could teach the dog to get along well with the cat or would they always have to be supervised when they were together? 3. Are these dogs terribly aggressive with people or other dogs? I hear Akitas, especially, can get aggressive, even with their owners. 4. Lastly, I've heard many tales that these breeds are not very "car-smart" and do get run over a lot. Is this to say that they'd just stand and let a car back over them or are they more inclined to jump out in the road in front of a car? Thanks to anyone who can provide information or answer any of my (many) questions. - Jamie Langston ) Hi. we might get a samoyd, but we have a lovebird and a parakeet. do you think the samoyd would try to hurt or be agressive twards the birds? |
