All I can say is, I have a WHOLE lot of respect for people who can handle primitive breeds. Years ago when I knew literally nothing about dogs (I had grown up with dogs, but apparently that hadn't translated into dog knowledge) I adopted an Akita from a shelter based on nothing other than "Wow he sure is pretty!!!! Akitas are very ~dominant~ dogs so I'll be sure to alpha roll him a lot!!!" It ended in typical "stupid person adopts primitive breed" fashion, with him loving up a lot of poo poo because I was an idiot and had no clue how to handle him. They are beautiful dogs, but they really do require a ton of knowledge and a certain personality type to handle them correctly, and it's so, so easy to gently caress up with them and when you do inevitably gently caress up, it can take months/years to undo one seconds worth of damage. Makes me really glad for my super easy, ultra biddable, "I'll do anything you say oh god just love me please" breed choice.
