So i am new to this and am looking to get female k9 . Seen 2 that are a possibility , both are 3 years old and also un spayed , One is an american bulldog the other an akita . What is everyones thoughts on these
 
what is that supposed to mean !! i am asking for peoples thoughts on these breeds etc what can i expect to achieve
 
Read about each breed and see what is best for you

Google can provide a plethora of helpful information on these breeds.
You can also go on reddit and look in the dog threads for peoples experiences with specific breeds.
 
Agreed, akitas are beautiful but... difficult to live with, to say the least. They expect to be treated like royalty. They don't take correction and training well. They are very alpha, ornery (read: not horny, ornery), and dog-on-dog aggressive so its tough to socialize them or integrate them into a pack setting at home. Similar to keeping pit bulls and the other bully breeds in a pack, it doesn't often end well. Constant fighting and impossible to trust them home alone unsupervised. They really prefer to be in single-dog households, so if you're thinking of either of these breeds, think long and hard about the future and having more than one dog. The conundrum is that its really beneficial to dogs to live in packs (even of two) just for the canine company -- they suffer and don't do well when alone -- but bullies and akitas just don't mesh well in packs, so you need opposite sexes to make it work and keep the peace.
 
^ Correct. This guy gets it. All of mine have been mixed adult rehomes. I don't start from pups; I prefer to rehab adults instead. And it happens that some of the best I've shared some years of my life with, happened to be free. I understand that some people may need to recoup some recent sunk costs, but anyone "rehoming" on CL of FB for >$100ish is scamming you. Thats backyard breeders and puppymill sales. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Don't keep breeders in business. Dogs are not an income stream.
