Sex

While all dogs, even Akitas, attain sexual maturity at a particular age, the exact age at which they do so might vary from person to person. Between the ages of six months and two years, Akitas often reach the point when they may begin puberty and become sexually mature. On the other hand, it is essential to keep in mind that the age at which a person is sexually mature is not always the same as the age at which they are able to reproduce.

In order to breed dogs in a responsible manner, it is necessary to take into account the dogs' health, temperament, and genetic heritage. Breeders who are informed, ethical, and who put the health and happiness of their dogs and the breed as a whole as their first priority should be the only ones who engage in breeding.

If you are not an experienced breeder who has a profound knowledge of the breed and a dedication to safe breeding techniques, it is strongly suggested that you seek the advice of a veterinarian or a professional breeder before making any choices about the breeding of your Akita.

The process of breeding should only be carried out with the purpose of enhancing the breed, and it should be treated with caution and responsibility in order to guarantee the well-being and health of the dogs that are engaged.

In addition, there is a widespread practice of spaying or neutering dogs that are kept as pets and are not meant for reproductive purposes. The number of pets is reduced as a result of this, and the individual dog may experience positive changes in both their health and their behavior.

If you do not want to breed your Akita, you should talk to your veterinarian about the possibility of spaying or neutering your dog in order to decide the most suitable time for the surgery.
