 Powerful, solid and muscular, the Akita is the largest of the Japanese Spitz-type breeds. With a well-proportioned and distinctive look, this dog has a flat, heavy head and a strong, short muzzle. The Akita breed is known as a strong swimmer thanks to its webbed feet. These bold dogs are very intelligent, independent and dignified in nature. The Akita was originally bred to fight and hunt bears and is often said to have a temperament “like a bear.” This stunningly beautiful dog needs a physically fit natural leader who is experienced with Working Dogs.
