The wife and I went to visit an akita breeder this last Friday and saw our new family member. She is a cutey, I will put a link to her picture in this post. She is the one hiding behind the post.

It was raining when we got there, and all the dogs were playing in it, and thus have the wet dog/puppy hairdoo.
They are about 14 weeks old, and their pen is made up of cattle panels which are about 4 1/2 feet high, so you see how big they are already.
The breeder told us she will be a big girl, topping out about 110~120 pounds.
Her daddy was about 140.
