The American Akita is muscular, double-coated dogs of ancient Japanese
lineage
famous for her dignity, courage, and loyalty. In her native
land, she's venerated as family protectors and symbols of good health,
happiness, and long life. Akitas are burly, heavy-boned spitz-type dogs
of imposing stature.
Standing 24 to 28 inches at the shoulder, Akitas have a dense coat that
comes in several colors, including white. The head is broad and massive,
and is balanced in the rear by a full, curled-over tail. The erect ears
and dark, shining eyes contribute to an expression of alertness, a
hallmark of the breed. Akitas are quiet, fastidious dogs. Wary of
strangers and often intolerant of other animals,
Akitas will gladly share their silly, affectionate side with family
and friends.
They thrive on human companionship. The large, independent-thinking
Akita is hardwired for protecting those they love.
