That is one of the FEW other breeds I would consider as a B.C. bush dog, however, finding the right breeder to obtain good stock here is difficult. I like Akitas and a guy from New York who lives on a bush farm near my hometown showed me his when I was hunting a couple of years ago. There are bears by the gazillions there and this guy has little kids and really hates killing bears, so, his big Akita chases them off and everyone is happy.

I am probably the biggest bear lover alive and prefer a dog to do this rather than have to shoot a bear and this guy's Akita really impressed me, a fine specimen of a super breed.
