My male akita is 5 mounths old and he his 60 pounds about 25inch tall is a good size for akita?


Answers:
are you familiar with the Akita breed standard? if not,, go to www.akc.org and read up ...

Size
Males 26 to 28 inches at the withers; bitches 24 to 26 inches. Disqualification--dogs under 25 inches; bitches under 23 inches.
Wow! Sounds like he's going to be a BIG BOY! Can you feel his rib cage, on the side? Can you feel his spine on the top of his back? If not, you may be overfeeding him.

Is he getting enough exercise? Training?
