We unexpectedly lost our Very Good Boy, Kona, this summer. We’ve grieved for a while and it’s time for a new dog. We’ve decided to get a little brother for Akiko.
Like Akiko, Un-named New Puppy is a Japanese Akita Inu. I love his little nosey!
When grown, he will be a red and brown brindle, with some white patches. Something like one of thesedogs.
I’m looking for a Japanese name for our new boy. He’s got stripes, or waves, so maybe something like tiger or maple or ?
Your help greatly appreciated.
Jiro was part Akita and we had to leave him behind when we left Japan when I was four. I still clearly remember him trying to jump into the back seat with me when we left for the airport. Something my parents said he never did before. He was left with one our neighbors and whenever someone visited from Japan I’d ask how he was doing until many years later when I was told he passed away.
