Question
i recently (26/01/2007) bred my bitch since then she keeps her tail down rather than curled up over her back. Just wondering why that is ?

Answer
Well I have heard of this many times and im afraid there is no correct answer for this. I have heard that it is some type of defensive behavior. But i have also heard that it might be from depresion or stress from just being bred. But take note akitas are very prown to depression. If not properley socialised with its master.But again there is no right answer.But it should work its self out with in a few days to a week or two. The best advice i can give you is to monitore this problem and if it does not get better then you should probaley talk to your vet.
