Akita
Brave and loyal
History and General Information of Akita dog breed
The Akita, also known as the Akita Inu or Akita Ken, is a large and powerful breed that originated in the mountainous regions of northern Japan. It is one of Japan’s oldest native breeds, with a history dating back hundreds of years. Originally, Akitas were developed for hunting large game, such as bears, boars, and deer. Over time, they also gained popularity as loyal and protective companions.
The Akita breed’s true fame began in the early 20th century when Hachiko, an Akita dog, captured the hearts of the Japanese people for his unwavering loyalty to his deceased owner. Hachiko’s story spread worldwide and cemented the Akita’s reputation for devotion and fidelity.
Akitas are large, muscular dogs with a strong and noble presence. They have a thick double coat that comes in various colors, including white, brindle, red, and sesame. Akitas have a broad head, erect triangular ears, and dark, almond-shaped eyes that radiate intelligence.
