Lil Akita
Pup
Large, powerful and alert,
the Akita is a working breed that originated in Japan. Dignified
and courageous, the Akita today is popular in the show ring and
also participates in performance and therapy work. The
breed’s thick double coat can be any color including white,
brindle or pinto. An Akita trademark is the plush tail that curls
over his back.
A Look
Back
One of seven breeds designated as a national monument in its native
Japan, the Akita has been used as a versatile hunting dog there for
many years. There is even a spiritual significance attached to the
breed – when a child is born in Japan, the family will
receive an Akita statue signifying health, happiness, and long
life. The Akita first arrived in the United States when Helen
Keller brought one over in 1937.
Right Breed for
You?
Although known to be a quiet dog (they are known as the "Silent
Hunter" in Japan), the Akita has strong guarding instincts and will
sound the alarm if an intruder breaks into their house. Akita
temperament can range from calm to bouncy and aggressive, so the
breed should always be supervised around small children and other
animals. Akitas like to be "pack leader," so obedience training is
also necessary for a harmonious household. The breed will groom
itself like a cat, but daily brushing is still necessary, as is
daily exercise.
