History
The Akita Inu is an indigenous breed to Japan, with the primary purpose to hunt big game such as the wild boar, deer or the dangerous Asian black bear, as well as pulling loads, guarding and later for dog fights.The name of the breed comes from its place of origin – Akita prefecture, on the island of Honshu.
Character
Akita is a strong, sometimes stubborn, and an extremely intelligent creature with a big heart that requires commitment and consistency in upbringing. It has a strong sense of hierarchy and sometimes is bossy with a tendency to dominate, but also very sensitive. Therefore, it is extremely important to build a close, trust-based relationship, and to show who the leader at home is. Akita is an exceptional dog, a proud Japanese who should be treated with proper respect. Certainly, it is worth spending time and attention, providing the Akita with respect and trust -only then will we gain a faithful and devoted friend for our whole life together.General Appearance
