The Akita is a large Japanese dog—tall, brave, loyal, confident, and alert.
It is smart and obedient, cooperating well in training and learning quickly. Very loyal but somewhat independent, it needs a firm owner.
Its coat is dense and needs regular brushing and bathing; it is energetic and needs lots of exercise and space, so it suits experienced owners and families used to large dogs.
