#brindle akita

[despazito]

anyway im still so sad that brindle isn’t a common colour among spitz breeds

[bas-rouge]

fascinated to hear your reasoning on not liking cane corso, since to me they’re kind of the midway point between dogos and neos which I know you both like. I also dislike them for both aesthetics and temperament fwiw (sorry corso stans)

I agree with you except I think that that midway point is really awkward and icks me in a way I cannot describe, like a weird Pokémon middle evolution 😭 I think 99% of it is their eyes? I guess coming from a Collie/Beauce/Dogo lover standpoint we want a very dark eye, and every Corso I see stares straight into my soul or into another plane. Also dilutes are super popular around here at shows and they almost invariably are hairless by the time they're veterans

Gin, Weed, and Bellatrix- three generations of brindle Akitas

Hi :) I haven't posted in a WHILE, but despite that I still get interactions on some detco dogs AU to this day and I've been drawing dogs more and more so.. I've got some new art!

Redesigned Rei as a mix because of his unknown past :) his texts read: "Akita Inu + Sakhalin Husky" , "Rounded trim to blend in & look more Akita than mixed" , "Has a subtle brindle"

As for the FBI trio, Camel is a Great Dane, Akai still a Dobermann, and Jodie Is still a Golden retriever and German shepherd mix! Both Camel and Akai have cropped ears and docked tails due to their job!

I hope to draw more soon but motivation can be hard to come by, so I'm not making any promises

[the-owl-tree]

it’s only been a thought in the back of my mind but i’d be curious to find an ideological analysis of silver fang. obviously things are muddled by these characters being dog breeds, with dogs being bred for specific purposes, but it’s hard not to get a little gut feeling when the superiority of brindles or Japanese Akitas comes up.

I'm not well-versed on that side of the things so its definitely a blind spot, could be nothing but....eh. gut feeling, ya know?

[dog-aus-collection]

I need to know what kind of dog izaya would be because I’m going insane

Specially because he hates dogs that’s so ironic 😭

Let me start with thank you for making the first question a durarara one!! Congrats! Have a kiss. Now...

Great point with Izaya because it's hard not to imagine him as a black cat. Buuuut, and as I always say, if I HAD to pick a dog breed for him, to me it's always been the Kai Ken

I always imagined he would have the looks of a japanese spitz breed, with the curled tail and small perked up ears, I think that's the shape I always imagine would fit him better.

Akitas and Shibas never convinced me though, especially by their coat colors that were all too bright. Same with the Hokkaido. But the Kai Ken... it's jackpot! It has the overall looks and forms of those breeds I picture but also is medium sized, very agile, I read somewhere they are good climbers too (don't take my word, I can't remember where I read it or how true it might be but I'm sticking to that for obvious reasons) and comes in dark colors which was my main goal!

The slight brindle over black would be a nice touch but still something I would maybe make too faint if I had to draw it. Maybe the kind that you only notice under direct sunlight. Or maybe keep it, idk. And I would give him a tuft of white on the chest for no reason perhaps.

But that has just been my personal take for him for too long. You gave me the perfect excuse to share it yay! I'm curious though if anyone ever imagined a different breed for him, or for any characters I share, I love hearing other opinions too.

Saw ppl on Twitter doing this meme with Warriors and My Little Pony characters, so I did my own with Ginga!

Red: Akatora

Orange: Yukimura

Yellow: Hiro

Green: Smith (ghost)

Cyan: Weed

Blue: Blue

Purple: Purple Wolf

Magenta: Pink Dragon

[ID: A depiction of a color wheel with the colors red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple and magenta. Inside each of the colors a Ginga character with that color is drawn. In red we have a red Kai Ken with black brindle. He has a serious expression. In orange with have an orange Akita mix with white urajiro and scars across the right side of his face. He has a serious expression, too. The yellow character is a very pale and washed-out yellow Great Pyrenees with brownish ears and a missing eye. He has a challenging expression and is licking his chops. The green character is a black Spaniel with white Irish markings, however he is glowing green as he is a spirit. The cyan character is a blue brindle Akita mix with white urajiro. He has scars across the left side of his neck and the right side of his face. The next character is a blue-and-white husky with blue eyes and a torn ear. He has a scar across his right eye and an agitated expression. The purple character is a purplish gray-and-cream wolf with a snarling expression and green eyes without pupils. The final character is a pink wolf with long magenta hair similar to that of a human. He is in a howling pose. End ID.]

probably one of the prettiest dogs ive seen. i actually didnt know akitas could be brindle until seeing a few like that at this show!!

+ bonus close-ups

[canyon-tale]

I have a question from your dog AU, is Cross an american akita or an akita inu? Cause I have the HC Cross is an american akita due to the colors on the breed

He’s a Japanese akita! Mostly because the series the au is based on takes place in Japan and so I’ve been going for Asian breeds or breeds seen in GNG/GDW.

I plan for him to either be solid white or a black or silver brindle (with some design liberties on the brindle):

[gatorsnot]

[polardestiny]

stumbling in hours later to talk abt frankie's dogs, gonna go in order of team position for basic dog sled team configuration, there are two lead dogs, two swing dogs, anywhere from 8-14 team dogs (which can consist of other positions for backup), and two wheel dogs

honorable mention as far as pets go: lunchbox the virginia opossum that fell in through the kitchen window while frankie was making lunch and just.. moved in

lead dogs - these are the ones at the front who lead for lack of better phrasing! smart, confident, focused - vagabond : alaskan husky / had trust issues at the start, scarred from a run-in with a black bear. incredibly loyal, but will only listen to frankie. one of the first dogs frankie got after the previous team was retired. - colonel : alaskan husky / also one of the original team. on his way to retirement, oldest dog on the team currently. - flash : alaskan husky / fastest dog on the team ! brilliant dog and quick to follow commands, though it does make it harder for the team to keep up from time to time. - bold ruler : alaskan husky / newest lead dog to the team. purchased as a new prospect from another sled dog kennel in the state. doing well so far ! - jigsaw : wolf-dog hybrid / a bit insane. only respects frankie, and that took time to build the trust. will manage to get off his lead in the yard and shows back up covered in blood with no discernable injuries. has scared off most workers frankie has tried to hire part-time. - squid : alaskan husky / leads like a team captain, but the pickiest of the team. if he doesn't have his harness and his boots, and ride in his spot in the team truck, he gets anxious as hell and can't perform.

swing dogs - these dogs help with steering and stay on trail on corners, basically following the leads - lamborghini : seppala siberian sleddog / one of the only "purebreds" on the team. very snooty, and often simply gets referred to as "lambo". the dog has an ego. - pitstop : utonagan / twin a. only gets run with u-haul, as they haven't really got much experience with the rest of the team. - u-haul : utonagan / twin b. these dogs were picked up sort of last minute by frankie from someone getting rid of them in a walmart parking lot. littermate syndrome for real. - mohawk : wolf-dog hybrid / named for the distinct ridge of hair like a "mohawk" he has going down his head/back. very playful, and gets into trouble often. littermates with punk. - pretzel : alaskan husky / the only female swing dog! she's the only one currently on the team that actually works well with the boys, a lot of the other team dogs that they've tried as swings just.. don't work out. - mako : siberian husky / the only true siberian husky that frankie owns. the classic husky, very handsome, and insanely smart. screams during de-shed time. - tiger : alaskan husky / the most weirdly cat-like dog you'll ever find. he's a red brindle.. something. likely akita inu mix. always has one eye on the team, no matter what's going on.

wheel dogs - these are the dogs that initially pull the sled when the journey begins, the biggest and strongest - melonhead : alaskan malamute / absolutely huge, even compared to the other wheel dogs. sort of almost has a bull terrier wedge head, hence the name. - rusty : alaskan husky / one of the smaller wheel dogs, and the second oldest on the team. tends to act like the Team Dad. - matador : alaskan husky / newest wheel dog recruit. got his name from fucking around with hulk, mostly, like a matador with a bull. - hulk : alaskan husky / can either be the most gentle or rage out. tends to get overstimulated, and is in the process of retiring to pet life. - atlas : alaskan husky / one of the other older dogs. got his name from the shock of white fur he has on his head, like from when everyone took turns holding up the world in the pjo series. - titan : wolf-dog hybrid / the tallest wheel dog, compared to melonhead's bulk. incredibly gangly, though.

team dogs - these dogs provide the bulk of the power for the team, all equally strong/fast to bring balance - castaway : alaskan husky / also a scarred dog, though due to human cruelty. took a while to integrate to the team because of this, but he trusts frankie implicitly. - cracker : alaskan husky / one of the younger dogs on the team. still acts like an over-excited puppy all the time. - kookaburra : alaskan husky / very vocal, named for her habit of chattering/yipping while running or even tied to the line. - sprite : alaskan husky / smallest dog on the team. acts a bit like navi from legend of zelda, hence the name. - sky : alaskan husky / bouncy and happy all the time, a very positive light. - grover : alaskan husky / just.. the saddest dog on the team. like eeyore in dog form. will absolutely love to lay his head on your lap all day, though. - punk : wolf-dog hybrid / littermates with mohawk. took more time to work with than mohawk, and is also only really obedient for frankie. - zack : alaskan husky / named after zack from final fantasy, coz he has a scar similar to zack's on one side of his face. very charming personality for a dog. - toby : alaskan husky / another younger member of the team. might end up being a swing dog, once he settles a bit more.

house dogs - these are the pets! they don't race, though i'm sure they'd love to try! - fatty : alaskan husky / never really took to racing, and would prefer to get every table scrap possible instead. if he had a real name, frankie's forgotten it by now. - dawn : stabyhoun mix / very shy with strangers, and slow to trust. likes to hide behind frankie when meeting new people. - petunia : chinook mix / kind of snobby with strangers, like they aren't good enough for her. likes to go and check on the team often when frankie's doing their morning rounds. - august : chow-chow mix / big loverboy, and will lay completely on top of you, while sighing a huge sigh as if he has worries in the world - toad : akita inu-kai ken mix / has a bit of a smooshed in face like a toad. also has a loud, deep bark that catches most people off guard. - jack daniels : german shepherd / the most stone butch dog you may ever meet in your life. she gets called handsome on just about every walk frankie takes her on in the cities. - nurse : dalmatian (long haired) / a loving and recent addition to the family. frankie jokes she needs to learn how to be a rescue dog like the st. bernards. - omen : borzoi / the newest non-racing dog. will commonly be referred to as The Horse.

oh wow first post okay cool. so obvi i’m gonna lost my theriotypes in full (with updates as time goes by)

my first awakening: dragon (believe it or not)

honestly how this happened is beyond me i guess it just happened over time. i didn’t even know what otherkin was but i sure felt more dragon than human most days.

drawn by me here’s a close representation of what i look like but the colors might be a tiny bit off

next up: Wolf dog (i know real original)

this shouldn’t be surprising most therians tend to be wolves for foxes, but that’s cause they’re easy to awaken when they’re such a common animal

i experience this when i feel i need the most help. i feel as though this one may have been a past life when i was rehabilitated in a wolf sanctuary. this must’ve been a tourist attraction because i also feel it most when i’m being watched.

next up: pigeon (probably a strange one)

this is one where i feel outta my native environment cause i live in the sticks and pigeons tend to be city birds. but this is so totally a lovely theriotype to experience in comparison to the longing i feel for dragon and others.

definitely the smallest wings and the easiest to deal with shift wise.

new addition: american akita (oooh domestic dog!!)

this one has a bit of a history with me as i once aksed what dog i would be and a friend nonchalantly responded “akita” i asked for clarification and i got “i don’t know. american akita?” so it’s been one of my fav breeds since.

specifically a silver brindle. ironic given my favorite american akitas were the fawn or chestnut ones.

that’s it for now if i figure out what these mystery ones are i’ll add em too.

[privteblogtasks]

Argent is Akita dog in a series about dogs, and strays, a silver brindle Akita used for bears, and hunting, like the previous packs that lived there she herself had found herself on the historic area. And is also seen along the dog, Dog-1 and a cream golden with unique features that was left out there due to her not meeting standards of her breed. Which was the opposite for Argent. And she was also belonging the line of cream dogs from legends. But sold off for several purposes as testing or bait.

The breed was first recognized by the Japanese Kennel Club in 1928. It was not until 1972 that the Tosa was recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), the world governing body for purebred dog breeds.
