| Colour In Japan, Akitas come in only four colours: Red Fawn, Sesame (red fawn hairs with black tips), Brindle, and White. All except white must have whitish hair on the sides of the muzzle, on the cheeks, the neck, chest, body and tail. The Pinto color, found in America, is not accepted as a Japanese Akita color, but only as an American Akita color. |
|||||
| Grooming Very little grooming is required with the Akita, as they are an extremely clean dog and almost odourless. |
|||||
| History The Akita's ancestors were dogs used for hunting. These dogs, usually called Matagi Inu, were not as large as modern Akita dogs. Many of these dogs were used as guard dogs. They were also used in the sport of hunting bears. |
|||||
| Positives Akitas are a large breed, not a giant breed. They are excellent house dogs. They require only a moderate amount of exercise. Akitas are known to be very quiet dogs, only barking "when there is something to bark about". One of the most famous things about Akitas is that they make people feel calm and relaxed so an Akita is an ideal dog if you have stress problems |
|||||
| Negatives Left unattended in the backyard or in a kennel, they tend to develop "personality" problems and become very destructive to the yard, which is due to boredom. They are highly pack oriented, thus isolating them from the pack (i.e., the owner) causes them great stress. |
