Nina is between approximately 1 year old. She has a purple tongue, so we think she may have a bit of chow in her. She's been good with all the other KC Akitas and my dog Jade. She knows sit and has a medium energy level for young dog. Already seems to walk good on leash and also has a very soft mouth. This little sweety pie is only about 45lbs. Think of her as a miniature Akita. Get's along with other dogs and just loves to snuggle. Goto kcdogguy.com to see her video!
