General History : Most of the native dogs of Japan are of the classic northern type. They have square bodies, wedge-shaped heads, small upright ears, short, thick stand-off coats, and the tail is curled up over the back.
The Akita is large, powerful, alert, with much substance and heavy bone. They have a deep muzzle, small eyes and erect ears, and a large curled tail.
They are known for their fierce love, loyalty and obedience to their owner.
Developed in 1630 by a Samurai the Akita was produced to be an excellent fighter and guardian.
No wonder if you found these dogs to be detached.. They are highly
active and Alert.
Their temperaments are always calm and considerate, with great dignity.
Akitas were originally developed as fighting dogs, as popular in the Far East as they were in Europe
