Akela is a 5 year old neutered male Akita/Husky mix.  He was placed into rescue after demonstrating some guarding issues which worried his family.  Akela is excited, independent and active.  He seems to be good with strangers and engages in attention and petting.  He will be too much for little kids as he is over exuberant on his greetings and does protect items he feels are high quality.  Akela is ok with other dogs but would prefer a home with a female dog or as a solo dog. Breed experience is required as Akita and Nordic breeds are not for everyone.  Akela can be aloof and uninterested in training and learning so really needs someone committed to understanding dog behavior and the use of positive training.  Akela is house trained and should be crated/confined when no one is home.
