The Akita is one of Seven Breeds designated as a National Monument in his native country of Japan. Bred as a versatile hunting dog in the rugged mountains of Northern Japan, the breed is a wonderful combination of dignity with good nature, alert courage and docility.

The Akita is named for the province of Akita in northern Japan, where they are believed to have originated. The Akita's known existence goes back to the 1600s, when the breed guarded Japanese royalty and was used for hunting fowl and large game (including bears).

Had an Akita for 13 years. Even though she was the run of the litter she was the best buddy I’ve ever had. She took down someone who broke in the house. Best dog breed around. In my opinion.

My first dog was a 77kg American Akita called Keiko and lived until he was 11 as he got cancer. What an amazing dog he was. Total protector, amazing with other dogs, babies, children and people alike. Great with my female Japanese Akita and Staffordshire bull terrier. Such an emotional goofy dog. I loved him very much, he worshipped me… I miss him so much.

This breed is not to be trifled with. They might look cute and cuddly but don’t let that fool you.

I had an amazing Akita who changed my life and now I have my second Akita who is also incredibly loyal, extremely smart and she’s well-socialized and fine with other dogs. We go on so many adventures together. I love akitas, I hope I can always have one.

Disengaged dog owner that’s a lot better way to put it

My first dog is an akita. I have a male and long coat female. Love them so much! Yes, you will have to be mentally prepared and understand the breed. They are great!

I've had 2 American Akitas. They CAN be socialized to the point of non aggression with other dogs. I did so with both of mine. It takes loads of time and training but it's worth it. My last Akita, Khan, would all but ignore other dogs, but he hated coyotes. That was fine with me. He also loved cats...even those he didn't "know" . He was never an aggressive dog. He did protect my wife once. Some guy got in her face while Khan was with her at work at started yelling at her. Khan slammed him to the floor and just stood over him. The man got up slowly and quietly left. I was very proud of Khan.
Anyone with time, love, and patience, much patience, can make an Akita a wonderful companion. They are often said to be stubborn but they aren't. They're just very intelligent and if they see no good reason to do something, they won't do it. When I train my dogs, I use normal language just as I do with my kids. I talk to them like I would anybody. In my experience they respond very well to this. NEVER yell at an Akita. After some time, I could tell Khan to "go plant his ass" and he'd go sit his butt on the couch with his front legs on the floor, almost sitting like a human. It was funny.
Khan has been gone now for 15 yrs. He was the finest dog I've ever owned. I still think about him every day. I'm just now to the point of considering getting another Akita. I will never own another breed even though I know there are excellent dogs out there. The video is correct. Learn the breed in depth before you get one. These dogs are a challenge and will be discouraging for most first time owners due to their intelligence and their extreme power. If you can persevere, you'll be greatly rewarded.

First time dog owner here and i was nearly put off by all the negative talk. But i knew what i was up for and prepared to put the time in. I had a personal trainer at my home the next day to give me tips. We did puppy school for 8mths. I also take him to day care once a wk to socialise. He is the most adorable affectionate friendly dog. Everyone comments on how well behaved and obedient he is when they visit. I wish i got one much sooner

[chanocmacias]

Finally your well educated take on the American Akita 😎. Proud owner here and you are absolutely right this breed is real unique and different they have that oriental mystic and power. They can be a good dog for a first time dog owner IF like you said give attention and focus on the dog having 2 males is only for advanced trainers with American Akita experience. 2 females in a home is almost impossible.

Best guard dog, child friendly, we loved our girl. Dakota she was the best with our girls frowning up.

[mrpankau]

I was blessed to grow up in an Akita breeding family. I grew up around these graceful beasts, and am seriously thinking about getting one for my own family now.

[justinjeffries]

Agreed on that "First Time Dog Owner" stuff. You hear it in almost every breed interview...Sorry but I'm not trynna have a pug or a korgi. I want a DOG DOG not a pupper pupper.

[Supernova-lcyf]

Yessss Akitas...finally I have a female and they really are what people say they are...they are guard dogs...and dont like strangers and love family...although mine isnt very touchy touchy..they dont like dogs at all...and they are very stubborn LOL I swear they will do the opposite of everything you tell them to do...also in the 9 months shes been with me ...I heard her serious bark like 3 times..honestly if she didnt go to the fence I dont think anyone would know I have dog in my backyard lol...but I must say when she does..its loud af and shocks me ..and this akita is my 3rd dog (technically) and they really are more cat like than dog at times..they are NOT your regular dog honestly you can tell they have that primitive side to them where they go for anything that moves in the backyard ...but I love em but they would take a first time dog owner by surprise...they dont have the same mentality as most other dog breeds and finally ill just say I LOVE the bone structure of the Akitas in america ..the Akitas where I live somehow just lack that thickness in bone structure but overall its a great dog but surely for a first time dog owner they are much better large dog breeds than an akita (especially if you have children) but if you get one you will love him / her

My friend's female Akita took on 2 German Shepherds and kicked their asses. Didn't suffer a scratch

[PowersportsAT]

Japanese Akita are one of the best looking dogs I’ve seen!!!

[LilitheAmara]

My sister has an Akita and she is one of the most sweet dogs I have ever met. They also have a pit bull and they actually get along really well, but they were raised as puppies together. Nami(the Akita) is the more behaved one and was easier to train from what she said, but they are both very affectionate.

[markleben]

My akitas dog sosmart used to clean his toys in the toy box he did not want anybody watching him so smart sleeping baby barks deep sleep

[c.jbowen]

I love my 17 month old Akita. He is very protective of me, and weary of strangers. Great family protection dog. Needs more socializing though.

[erikmurray]

Absolutely beautiful dogs we had one and foreal once you had one you'll never forget it. Very unique

[reddwing]

Their tails
Are so unique
The way they lay
And rest on there backs
And the way they wag
Their tails also
Interesting

Great video
