Akita dogs are Japanese breed. In its native country Akita means national treasure. It’s a symbol of prosperity, good health and good fortune. Hellen Keller was said to have brought the first Akita to America. She showed deep interest in the breed and presented the first two Akitas to the US.
Akitas can weigh over 100 pounds. They have great body strength and are aggressive. Akitas are family oriented. They can get along well with other dogs but prefers to be the “only dog”. They must be trained to obey personally by their owners instead of being sent to dog schools. They easily get bored and prefers to be on one-on-one with their masters.
Some Akitas enjoy bringing things around their mouth including YOU. They may take your wrist and lead you to where they want to be or to a food that they want to eat. Since they love carrying things using their mouth, you can train them on getting the newspaper or the mail from the box and hand it to you. They enjoy and love these types of jobs.
They don’t like to be teased or annoyed. It can resort to biting. Thus, children should be kept away from them for the safety of their lives.
