The Akita, hailing from Japan’s Akita County, stands as a symbol of the nation, with its weight ranging from 37.5-45kg. Recognized in two distinct types, Japanese and American, these large dogs initially served as protectors for royalty and nobility.

Despite their current role primarily as family dogs, Akitas retain their hunting and combative instincts. Their aggressive nature, especially towards other dogs and smaller animals, is notable, with male Akitas particularly demonstrating dominant behaviors.
