The Akita is considered a national monument in it's native homeland of Japan
where it is revered as a symbol of health, happiness and longevity. At one time the
exclusive property of Japanese nobility, this breed was used to hunt large game including
Wild Boar and Deer. Akitas have since found their way into the hearts and homes of people
world-wide, and have proven to excel as police dogs, guard dogs, guide dogs, and - most
importantly - family pets. Akitas are extremely intelligent, large, energetic, very
territorial and highly devoted to their owners. Akitas are loyal family dogs and
fearless guardians of the home that excel in obedience work. These highly intelligent,
affectionate dogs make excellent companions. Their dense, double coat requires regular,
thorough brushing, and these large dogs need plenty of outdoor exercise. Training at an
early age is recommended. |
