I love Akitas. The only reason I don't have a bunch of them is I'm trying very hard to limit the number of breeds I have, other wise I'd have way too many! Bishie is hexed to sorta resemble a dog I saw in a dog show on TV that I absolutely adored. But that was kind of a long time ago so I didn't remember exactly what he looked like. But I'm very happy with how Bishie turned out. His call name is short for bishounen, which means "pretty boy" in Japanese. But with very different connotations than the phrase has in the US. It means a very attractive young guy, with possibly somewhat delicate or effeminate features.
