I would expect nothing less from Japan but a superior dog. Just like Toyota's make the best cars and trucks Japan also makes the best protective dog

Io ho un Akita femmina di 9anni, non è un cane appiccicoso, ma ti dimostra sempre affetto!!!!Con le persone è buonissima, con alcuni cani un po' meno!! È una razza dominante ma bellissima!!!!

Hachiko was not cremated. His intestines are the only part of him that is buried in Aoyama cemetery near Professor Ueno. His cranium, lungs & heart placed in jars in a museum. And his body was stuffed & is in a museum as well. Don’t know why they disected this wonderful being after waiting for a Ueno for 9 years. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I dont like this dog. Im currently taking care of one and the stubbornness is pain in the ass. A lot of attitude, not very cooperative. Like an egocentric friend... I dont like it!
