The Japanese Akita, known as the Akita Inu, is one of seven breeds designated as a national treasure in their native Japan. The Akita first arrived in the United States when Helen Keller brought one over in 1937. The story of Hachiko, one of the most faithful dogs ever, made the breed world famous and they became an international symbol of loyalty.
Akitas are intelligent, courageous and loyal dogs who are very affectionate with their family. Although they don’t like strangers, they will share their funny, affectionate side with their humans. Independent, intelligent and powerful, Akitas need to be properly trained and socialized from an early age.
