I gotta say that I simply don't understand folks dressing up their dog unless it's a one-off for a photo or doggie party (RR waits for someone to correct that to "dogging party").
Japanese Akita are huge, immensely strong, and not to be messed with! They are a very effective guard dog - Someone I know with a small country estate lets theirs out at night within the gated perimeter of just the house - Just the bark and howl is enough to scare an intruder.
It's nearly always the smaller dogs which pick a fight with other dogs - Bit like people really.
Great couple of shots of "cuddling" and "on back of choc lab"
