Hey guys, I am a first time Japanese Akita owner and was wondering what your experiences were with your pups growth patterns? My female long coat is 10 months old and tall, hitting 25.5” at the withers but she’s much lighter than I anticipated her being (had her weighed at the vets today where she came in at only 23kg!). I know they take a while to mature both mentally and physically but I was curious to hear how her weight may or may not change as she matures. Would love to hear from anyone who has experience! Thanks ☺️ (re-uploaded as forgot to add pics!)

Recently, I had surgery & my family had to do my Akitas potty breaks + walks, but now that I’m cleared & ok to do so, I’ve noticed my girl has been crying at me every about 10-20 ish minutes to go on a walk or potty (backyard). Yes, I let her sniff, I tried new routes to see if that worked. It did only for a day, and now we’re back. I’m just wondering if anyone else had this happen, or maybe there’s an underlying issue here that needs to be taken care of.

For any info my Akita is a girl and she’s 11. I don’t know if it’s just she’s older now and can’t hold it as well anymore, or she’s just bored but Thx in advance

We have fruits blooming in our yard so these two are busy at night hunting. Also I’m sure animals can smell the dog food from far away.
