5. Akita Inu

Akita Inu is a large and beautiful dog that originally breed in Japan. They are two kinds of Akitas in the world – Japanese and American. Japanese Akita appears only in five different color variations including pure white, fawn, red, sesame and brindle. But the American Akitas comes in all dog colors.

This large breed weighs between 34-54 kg and reach up to a height of 26 inches. They are extremely faithful to the family. This protective breed is suspicious of strangers. The owners demand to give proper training to Akitas from early ages. Akitas love to involve in activities and to play with toys. Akita Inus are also good with children.

The Akita is a large breed of dog originating from the mountainous northern regions of Japan. There are two separate varieties of Akita: a Japanese strain, commonly called “Akita Ken” in Japan, “Akita Inu”, or “Japanese Akita”; and an American strain, known as the “Akita” or “American Akita”. The Japanese strain called the Akita Inu comes in a narrow palette of colors, with all other colors considered atypical of the breed, while the American strain known simply as the akita comes in all dog colors. The Akita has a short double-coat similar to that of many other northern spitz breeds such as the Siberian Husky, but long-coated dogs can be found in many litters due to a recessive gene.

The Akita is a powerful, independent and dominant breed, commonly aloof with strangers but affectionate with family members. As a breed, Akitas are generally hardy, but they have been known to suffer from various genetic conditions and be sensitive to certain drugs.
