Akita
The Akita is a unique combination of dignity, courage, alertness, and devotion to its family. It is extraordinarily affectionate and loyal with family and friends, territorial about its property, and aloof with strangers. It is feline in its actions; it is not unusual for an Akita to clean its face after eating, to groom its kennel mate, and to be fussy in the house.

The Akita is a survivor. The breed exhibits hunting prowess, extraordinary strength and endurance, and the ability to survive on its own. The Akita thrives on the love and respect of its master. The individual Akita is happy being an only dog or one of two dogs in a household.

Akita’s are affectionate to their owners and are excellent watchdogs, although they do not bark unless something is amiss. Akita’s require moderate exercise, adjust well to apartment living as long as they receive daily walks, do not eat large quantities of food, and are long-lived. Something to think about before owning an Akita is that they shed twice a year, and the size and strength of the breed which, if not properly managed, can become a nightmare; and the predisposition to be aggressive to other dogs, so you may want to keep them away from dog parks and other areas where dogs can revert to their natural behavior of fighting for domination of the “pack”.
