But seriously, I've spent my life with Chow Chows and while I wouldn't trade my memories - I wouldn't consider an Akita. They are in the same family, very closely related but larger more powerful and even more attitude if that's even possible.

My wife has had Husky's. Also very independent, goofy, no sense of 'home' or direction. They are very high energy and expert escape artists. I don't see why someone would want to combine those 2 breeds. That dog would be challenging for a seasoned owner.

I'd look elsewhere...
