The Akita: A Complete And Comprehensive Beginners Guide To: Buying, Owning, Health, Grooming, Training, Obedience, Understanding And Caring For Your Akita

The Akita is a large breed of working dog that originates from the mountainous regions of Japan. The breed was originally developed to hunt large prey, such as bears, wild boar and deer. The breed is split into two variant strains: the Japanese strain and the American strain. The Japanese strain is commonly known as 'Akita Inu' ('Inu' meaning 'dog' in Japanese) and the 'Great Japanese dog.' The Japanese strain has a narrow range of coat colorations which are red, fawn, sesame, brindle and pure white. The American strain of Akita comes in a much wider range of colorations - it can basically have any color that is normally found on dogs. The Akita will commonly have a short double coat, in a similar fashion to the Siberian Husky. However it is not uncommon for a Akita to have a long coat due to a recessive gene. The Akita is an independent, powerful and domineering breed. They are commonly aloof with strangers but highly affectionate towards their family unit. As a breed they are generally very hardy and energetic. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet.
