I have an akita and it is sooooooooo sweet it depends on how you train the dog but yah it is very protective and akita is my name backwards which is really cool!
Esse ai não é um akita, é um grande cão japones, ou akita americano, ele é mistura de pastor alemão, com akita inu, seriam umja unica raça, mas não são por causa da briga entre os assiaticos e os americanos!

@MrAnimedude11 Akitas may be more prone to violence than some other breeds but if trained properly can be friendly. It's more to do with the person and the way their brought up. Bad trainers make bad dogs.
@MrAnimedude11 I had an Akita that died two years ago. We adapted him from a dog shelter when he was already 2 or 3. We never trained him, but he was most faithful, loyal, calm and smart dog I ever seen. When I was a student, he used to see me off at the corner which was 3 blocks away from our home, and he waited at the entrance of our garden when I came back from my school. When my mother got a heart attack on the street, he brought someone to help her so my mother was rescued.
@gammatnt Akita from Japan. Everyday, he waits in the train station until his owner comes back. One time, his owner never came back but he still waited everyday. Now he's dead and he has a statue in Japan.
I have an Akita, Kenji. He is by far the sweetest thing in the world. It's so cute because he doesn't know how to bark and just snorts or wines. I love him :))
@gammatnt He actually acts very well. He loves people and gets so excited when he meets new people. Sometimes he gets excited and tries jumping but we are working on that. The key to a friendly dog is just to bring him around people as much as possible. And that's what we do. We bring him for rides and everywhere we go.
my akita looks like the one at 3:20 except very very white ... ive had no problems with biting ive had him since 2 months n he has been great since! ... idk what these guys r talking about .. its a great family dog i had another one wich sadly died froma large bread health problem.... best dog ever strongll recomend getting one
I have a brindle akita, and he's the BEST dog. He lets my 2-year-old brother jump on him, play with him, and terrorize him. lol. He barks at whoever walks by my house, and is very energetic. He likes to jump though... He is brindle, and I just love him. If you're looking for a dog, Akitas are amazing.
@AdaptiveReasoning It always depends on the person owning the dog and how the dog was raised/treated. There is an Akita that lives near by me and the people never trained it and let it wander and has tried to attack me and has attacked my dog on my own property!
@GuardianAngelFanga There are two that need rescuing at the Capital Campaign for the Marion County Shelter. I tried to post the link here, but it wouldn't let me. Check them out on Facebook.
I own an Akita! He is so adorable! His name is Hunter because the breed is ment for bear hunting. Hunter is a big old wuss though. He is scared of my little vicious jack russle! He is only ten months. I hate how people think they're the worst dogs you can have. They're not at all. Hunter does she ALOT!! I love him(:
Story:His owner worked as a professor and everyday Hachi would wait for him on the train station till he came from work.one day his owner died while at work from a heart attack. Hachi waited for him in the station waiting,waiting, and waiting but his owner never returned,he's adopted but always ran away back to the station, waiting....for 9 yrs waiting.one night Hachi returns to the train station late at night and closes his eyes for the last time.
I think the white dog in the video look more like Korean Jindo, rather than Akida. In fact, Akida's ancestors are Korean Jindos which were brought to Japan from Korea hundreds years ago, and the Akida was created by mixture of Jindo and Japanese dogs. In general, Akida's body is boosty and it has black eyes as in the video (Especially the coloured ones), but the white dog seems to be Korean Jindo which has red eyes and very well balanced body shape unlike the other dogs in the video.
i want an Akita, and we're thinking about taking two dogs, since we arent always at home. i love extremely close to my school though(about three/ten minutes walk!) and i will walk them every day, about two hours. i was thinking about an Akita and a male Kai Ken Golden Retriever, so they're not alone, is it possible to take two? or will the Akita still become too teritorial? i will take both dogs on the same day at the same time at home
@dondondodo yes, they will be raised togehter, they also will be opposite sexes and i am not sure i want to breed them, maybe just once, and then let them both get infertilized ^^ thanks :)
I have an Akita mix .. raised her since she was 3 weeks old.. she's 11 now. Very sweet dog but is a protective dog... listens to me her momma. Had a heck of a time training her but it was worth it! Also is great with my kids.. and always was.
These people don't know much about Akita's but simple useless talk. Anything to put a video on YOUTUBE. Takes time and knowledge to understand an Akita like any other animal. Not because you read a book and watch few video it means your expert and you make your own video. I been around Akita's all my life and none of my Akita's or any other Akita I have come across has never gotten crazy with other animals or humans unless they need to protect themselves or there masters.
I've got an akita she's the sweetest little thing! she is territorial and aggressive to strangers but she is a cat in a dog body when it comes to me or my family. Shes a lapdog, she follows my mom everywhere!
i had one of these dogs for a day .. it attacked me .. i love all dogs and all animals but i would never never ever get ones of these again .. prob better kept as a working dog .. BUY SHIBA INU!
I wanted to get an Akita based on the movie Hachi and the true story behind it and his owner because of the loyalty towards its owner. My bf doesn't want me to get this dog cause he doesnt want me to get a dog that will become bigger than me when he gets older so we are getting the second best thing the Shiba inu! After reading all the facts about the Shiba from other owners I am officially in love with that breed and can't wait to get a Shiba! It is very similar to an Akita!
@ellojello818 Let me help you get your facts straight. Hachiko is a Akita Inu. In the movie they used a Shiba Inu puppy to show Hachiko as a puppy, but doesn't mean he IS a Shiba. I have known of Hachiko for years now(i did not learn of him from the movie). Would you put true history facts over a movie? Movies based off of events or books don't really have the right info?
No in real life he was an Akita! The statue that the movie was based on was an Akita dog in Japan! In the movie they used an Akita! Look it up! Shiba are smaller and looks more like a fox and act more like a cat while an Akita looks more like a wolf!
@Mary6leon Noooo it said during the behind the scenes the REAL hachi was NOT an akita, just in the movie he was but not in real life. You only think he was an akita because of the movie but in real life he wasnt...
@ellojello818 That's wrong dude. They just used shiba as baby Hachi but the rest of the movie they used Akita as in the real life. It's easy to look it up online.
My buddy has an Akita and it is one of the most well behaved dogs I've ever seen. It isn't fullbread, his grandfather was a German Shepherd. Its Dad was a German Shepherd/Akita mix and his Mom was full breed Akita. But it puts up with my little shit dog (puggle). I've never seen it get territorial.
Akitas are wonderful. Very intelligent, very protective and faithful. Must be the smartest dog that I have seen. Truly the perfect guard dog and family friend. Though a basic training is of course needed. In our case it was because the akita always saw himself as the alpha of all the canine world, was often quite aggressive towards other dogs especially to those he saw as competition. You truly should have to earn the right to be an owner of an akita.
We researched this breed before we bought ours 8 years ago. We thought that the information provided couldn't possibly be true-so we brought him home. Well, it was all true and after many-many-many training classes and a few "Growl" classes, he became a beloved member of our family. I can't imagine life without him. He is also the best watchdog/guard dog /alarm system-and all instinctively-no training needed there! When he goes,I hope to rescue Akitas-in his memory.
I have an old male labrador... i trained him and he thinks of me as the head of the pack. Will it be a good idea to bring a 2 month old female akita to my home?
I'd love to get an Akita along with my malamute. I once went to a ski resort up in the mountains and the owners had their tiger striped Akita wandering around the trials greeting people. He was a sweetheart !
@F50Italia Akitas tend not to do well with other dogs, when I was young I had one named Ben, he was the nicest dog in the world and was so gental with small kids.
@F50Italia I actually have a malamute and an akita living together. We got ourselves the malamute when the akita was 2 years old, so he was pretty much a father to the malamute and a very careful and caring one. To this day, which is about 7 years later they get along wonderfully.
Well, I know for sure when I saw this on TV Hachiko was mentioned. It was actually the focus dog for the akita topic. :P And it was where I first heard of Hachiko, so I don't know what's up with this video.
@cheechanchux they don't question that round Akita's tho -__-?? i have an Akita and i get TOLD that hes adorable and other cool stuff like name meanings and stuff so :p and never mention how they're with children because it is quite obvious as every time i see someone else with one there's a crowd of people (especially children) like aww but i don't see that with doberman and they tend to say ''is IT friendly?!'' which is pretty funny xD but dobermans are okay but nowhere as good as the Akita
this doggie is sooo sweet, if you're sweet to it. My friend has one and heard stories of her akita being aggressive if you play with them aggressively. hearing this, i've been gentle to them and her dog is just as gentle and sweet to me ;) such a beautiful, flush-y doggie :)
@cheechanchux shut up fool. you don't know hachi for sure thats why you can say that dobermans are better. do some research asshole and find out how loyal and loving these akita's are... .!.
Am i right if i i say here thats japanese akita is really true akita and comprare to american akita it's absolutly diffrent dog and character? I think the american could be more agressive sometimes and in some cases more dangerous, japanese akita is real true akita like Hachiko, am i right or wrong?
@involverrrrr I think there are two different types, Japanese Inu Akita, and The American Akita and im sure both of them , in some cases i have seen Inu Akitas are less agressive then american akitas, but i believe its all how u raise a akita. I think Akitas are very intelligent, and with the right training i never see them being a problem. Kids jump up and down on my akita, thats because when i was training him,i jumped and rolled around with her.Both are Akitas just different in looks and area
@involverrrrr A lot of American Akitas have mastiff blood in them, that gave them a little more aggression, as well as more of a sturdy broad build. American Akitas also carry colors unlike Japanese Akitas due to that mastiff blood. (black or brindle) Both American and Japanese have the loyal instinct like Hachiko, so which ever you have will be just as loyal. :] Yay learning from youtube! Akitas are beautiful and amazing dogs, I'm lucky to get to grow up with these guys.
Yeah, remember that this is general information on them and that each is different. We had two Akita's and they were the friendliest, loving dogs not just to us, but everyone and every other animal. They weren't that territorial at all either and enjoyed other animal company. In fact I don't remember them EVER being aggressive or angry... ever. Once you find what motivates them, they are trainable at an amazing rate.
I do not like how negative they put down the breed. I know lots of people with Akita's and they are very well-behaved, social to other dogs and very fixated on ranks. With the right treatment, the right training and the right state of mind of the OWNER they are a wonderfull breed.
@cvn16 I agree, but I thik the idea is to avoid from any impulsive people thinking the dog is a great breed all around, don't do any research, and end up giving the dog up to the shelter. However I think people like that arent very smart :p
@cvn16 I agree they CAN be sociable but if you want a social dog as far as strangers (humans and other animals) go it's not a safe bet. I'm an owner of my second Akita
@Greeneyez2475 It seems like American Akitas are a little bit more difficult than asian or european Akitas, maybe cause of some mix between race. Akita are very cute and sociable. I have a shiba and shiba are more lonesome than akitas ^^
@NappsDhaKidd YES!! Akitas are so sweet. Mine loved the cat he was raised with, all the other cats he lived with and the birth of my son--he turned into an angel dog, Leeroy was 8 yrs old, and loved him so much. He never hurt anyone his 13 yrs alive, they are the best dogs. I do recommend a boy, in my opinion. And the only thing is they are crazy as young dogs, kinda hard to train, but its no big deal to me. They are so loving and kind to a loving kind owner(s).
@NappsDhaKidd I know you already got an answer, but my dog sometimes gets jealous about my cat.
But in general my dog won't hurt my cat because the dog knows that he will hurt the owners feelings and his trust. So these dogs won't hurt the cat just because it's a family-dog.
Akita went into near extinction during WW2, because mainly because food shortage. Akita is a big dog, eat a lot, so having Akita was considered as not supportive to Japan's war, and anti-Japan. And as told in the video, dogs were culled to get fur. The only dog allowed at that time was German Shepperd which were used for military dogs. But anyway, some kept Akita even that time so we have them now.
I love Akita, because my first dog was Akita dog. This dog is very good for my fimily. However, My akita attacked my uncle when he touched me. Yes, Dog protected me. But it was very dangerous.
I have 2 Akita's in a Condo and they just do fine. My female is miss meet and greet. My male aloof. I love them both. I do agree about the shedding and I do agree that they are not a dog for most people. You need to put a lot of time into each of them and you need to socialized them and you must be alpha in your pack they will read you better then you can read yourself.
@gyrules American Akitas aren't half breeds or mutts. American Akitas and Akita Inus are all from Akita gene stock. We just favored breeding Akitas with traits that we liked, and the Japanese favored other traits. They're derived from the same breed with no other breeds mixed in. Kinda like how all humans are humans, but you can see different traits between people in different regions.
@ybz17 If you want one because you saw a movie, don't take an akita, akita is a very cute dog but he requires a good training, akita is not just a teddy bear. Many of them were abandonned since the movie :s

No in real life he was an Akita! The statue that the movie was based on was an Akita dog in Japan! In the movie they used an Akita! Look it up! Shiba are smaller and looks more like a fox and act more like a cat while an Akita looks more like a wolf!

@ellojello818 That's wrong dude. They just used shiba as baby Hachi but the rest of the movie they used Akita as in the real life. It's easy to look it up online.

My buddy has an Akita and it is one of the most well behaved dogs I've ever seen. It isn't fullbread, his grandfather was a German Shepherd. Its Dad was a German Shepherd/Akita mix and his Mom was full breed Akita. But it puts up with my little shit dog (puggle). I've never seen it get territorial.

Akitas are wonderful. Very intelligent, very protective and faithful. Must be the smartest dog that I have seen. Truly the perfect guard dog and family friend. Though a basic training is of course needed. In our case it was because the akita always saw himself as the alpha of all the canine world, was often quite aggressive towards other dogs especially to those he saw as competition. You truly should have to earn the right to be an owner of an akita.

We researched this breed before we bought ours 8 years ago. We thought that the information provided couldn't possibly be true-so we brought him home. Well, it was all true and after many-many-many training classes and a few "Growl" classes, he became a beloved member of our family. I can't imagine life without him. He is also the best watchdog/guard dog /alarm system-and all instinctively-no training needed there! When he goes,I hope to rescue Akitas-in his memory.

@F50Italia I actually have a malamute and an akita living together. We got ourselves the malamute when the akita was 2 years old, so he was pretty much a father to the malamute and a very careful and caring one. To this day, which is about 7 years later they get along wonderfully.

Am i right if i i say here thats japanese akita is really true akita and comprare to american akita it's absolutly diffrent dog and character? I think the american could be more agressive sometimes and in some cases more dangerous, japanese akita is real true akita like Hachiko, am i right or wrong?
involverrrrr 2 months ago
@involverrrrr I think there are two different types, Japanese Inu Akita, and The American Akita and im sure both of them , in some cases i have seen Inu Akitas are less agressive then american akitas, but i believe its all how u raise a akita. I think Akitas are very intelligent, and with the right training i never see them being a problem. Kids jump up and down on my akita, thats because when i was training him,i jumped and rolled around with her.Both are Akitas just different in looks and area
hookerhifive 2 months ago
@involverrrrr A lot of American Akitas have mastiff blood in them, that gave them a little more aggression, as well as more of a sturdy broad build. American Akitas also carry colors unlike Japanese Akitas due to that mastiff blood. (black or brindle) Both American and Japanese have the loyal instinct like Hachiko, so which ever you have will be just as loyal. :] Yay learning from youtube! Akitas are beautiful and amazing dogs, I'm lucky to get to grow up with these guys.

Yeah, remember that this is general information on them and that each is different. We had two Akita's and they were the friendliest, loving dogs not just to us, but everyone and every other animal. They weren't that territorial at all either and enjoyed other animal company. In fact I don't remember them EVER being aggressive or angry... ever. Once you find what motivates them, they are trainable at an amazing rate.

I do not like how negative they put down the breed. I know lots of people with Akita's and they are very well-behaved, social to other dogs and very fixated on ranks. With the right treatment, the right training and the right state of mind of the OWNER they are a wonderfull breed.
cvn16 2 months ago 32
@cvn16 I agree, but I thik the idea is to avoid from any impulsive people thinking the dog is a great breed all around, don't do any research, and end up giving the dog up to the shelter. However I think people like that arent very smart :p

@NappsDhaKidd YES!! Akitas are so sweet. Mine loved the cat he was raised with, all the other cats he lived with and the birth of my son--he turned into an angel dog, Leeroy was 8 yrs old, and loved him so much. He never hurt anyone his 13 yrs alive, they are the best dogs. I do recommend a boy, in my opinion. And the only thing is they are crazy as young dogs, kinda hard to train, but its no big deal to me. They are so loving and kind to a loving kind owner(s).

@NappsDhaKidd I know you already got an answer, but my dog sometimes gets jealous about my cat.
But in general my dog won't hurt my cat because the dog knows that he will hurt the owners feelings and his trust. So these dogs won't hurt the cat just because it's a family-dog.

Akita went into near extinction during WW2, because mainly because food shortage. Akita is a big dog, eat a lot, so having Akita was considered as not supportive to Japan's war, and anti-Japan. And as told in the video, dogs were culled to get fur. The only dog allowed at that time was German Shepperd which were used for military dogs. But anyway, some kept Akita even that time so we have them now.

I do agree about the shedding and I do agree that they are not a dog for most people. You need to put a lot of time into each of them and you need to socialized them and you must be alpha in your pack they will read you better then you can read yourself.

gyrules 2 months ago
@gyrules American Akitas aren't half breeds or mutts. American Akitas and Akita Inus are all from Akita gene stock. We just favored breeding Akitas with traits that we liked, and the Japanese favored other traits. They're derived from the same breed with no other breeds mixed in. Kinda like how all humans are humans, but you can see different traits between people in different regions.
