What a beautiful puppy! This is Niki with part of his new family - Leighton and Andre Hall. Niki is an Akita  puppy, born on December  9, 2002, and is pictured here on   March  14, 2003 when he weighed 15.8 pounds.  Leighton tells us that this puppy is  very friendly, and very good with his  new "brother", Andre, who is only three years old.
