the Traditional Japanese akita Inu, is not what the AKC recognizes.. Which is sad, doesnt give credit to the origin of the breed for what they truly are. The Traditional Akitas only come in 3 colors Red and white, White, and Brindle. I had a traditional red and white female for 13.5 years. She was the best dog i ever owned, i wont get another breed of dog. Sticking with Traditional.
well there is colour like that in the Japanese ones but it is considered a fault, American Akitas have alot more tossa in them which is why the American Akita has a much bigger and more Mastiff like look.
if you have the american akita then sure your akita pretty much larger than his cause he maby have the japanese akita wich is the oreginal akita.,,, nice vid
omg i love it!! i have a 2 yr akita and she acts just like that!!! i love it when urs smells the plant then starts to play with it made me laugh!! i loved it
dont underestemate,theses are very difficult dogs to raise.mines nine and hes seen our counrty and been through alot of shit.we will always love him . its hard to explain the relationship between a man and an akita,i guess its best explained in the story of Hachiko.they are a very knowing dog, they can percieve things and have an instinct that will blow your mind.one of gods best creatures.....Ruuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeee.....!!!!
after I saw this video I made a promise that I will buy an Akita and treat it like it was my own son. This video is so emotional and warm. Thank you my friend. You gave me happiness.
cute little akita. I have one that looks almost identical to yours. But i have to say that your akita is not a Japanese Akita. The reason is because your dog, like mine, has a "mask" on the facial area. Thats how to tell between Japanese and American akitas.
im sure this video was posted to show how wonderful suni is not to cause a debate on the breed. QSilva japanese or american akita sunis lovely!! i also hava a japanese akita called misty they are a wonderful breed
By the way, I'm sorry, QSilva, that the comments section of your video has become such a political battleground. :o) Suni is really sweet and beautiful, regardless of any silly human breed politics.
@QSilva Many backyard breeders are breeding the two breeds not realizing that these two amazing dogs should be kept separate and respected as individuals. Although I disagree with a lot of show breed specifications since they can cause health issues and don't focus on working temperament (and physical ability to work, looking at working vs show basset hounds is sad); breed diversity and historical background are important to preserve! MAINLY for working dogs and their specific jobs + temperament
Is that American Akita? I know the title says Japanese Akita, but the coloring looks a lot like what you can see in American Akita's. I myself have an Akita. Anyways, beautiful girl you got there.
I love it when my friends would throw my other dog's ball for it... and he would just stare at them thinking "are you for real? you go get it -.-"
Would anyone else's akita grab their own food when they were hungry? Also, mine would NOT poop in the yard growing up. It would find a back corner and use that as a bathroom :)

Akita Inu are smaller and have leaner faces. Great japaneses are now called american akitas (I think) those are mixes of akita Inus and other breeds. These dogs are the most loyal companions!!!
"Great Japanese dogs" and "Japanese Akitas" have just as much other breeds in them. After WWII, the Japanese breeders wanted to change their Akita to become more like what they thought the ancient Akita from many centuries ago might have looked like. They started out with dogs that wrere just like "Great japanese Dogs", and through selective breeding they achieved a different type.
Wrong. There were 30 pure Japanese Akita Inu registered in Japan after the war. Those 30 pure dogs are what gave us the Japanese Akita Inu we have today, they did not both start out as the same dogs.
lovethatbenny: In old Japanese photographs from the early 20th century you can see plenty of dogs with black masks and pinto coats. The stock that the American Akita originally came from was brought from Japan by Helen Keller. The American type was bred separately and developed in a different direction (even more stocky, with shorter legs). But in America akitas weren't further mixed with other breeds - they just favoured a different type.
Yes, that is true. Around that time most Akita did have those coat colours, because they had to mix them with German Shepherds to avoid having their dogs taken for fur, so most already looked like that before the Americans started importing. But there were just 30 pure original Japanese Akita that had been registered before the war left that had been hidden. These gave us the Japanese Akita we have today, not selective breeding from the one type.
It wasn't until the 1970's that the majority of Akitas in Japan started to look like the breed standard today. Japanese breeders after WWII were for a long time in disagreement about how the Akita should look. Please read the history section of the Akita Inu page in Wikipedia - en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Akita_Inu - and this article, which also features some photographs of Akitas from the post-war period: home(dot)online(dot)no/~kintos/britt/eng_tre(dot)htm
I have extensively read on the subject for a few years. Wikipedia is hardly a reliable source I'm afraid! I have also spoken to many breeders about it. I think there is a lot of disagreement on the origins of Akita, even to the point that some breeders say opposite things to others. Whatever the origins, the two are seperate breeds and deserve to be treated as such. I like the European type, they have slightly less oriental faces than the Asian strains and I like dogs with big, expressive eyes!
You can dismiss Wikipedia as "hardly reliable", but if you look at the other article I referred to, you can see that it was written by Britt Nyberg, who is very positive about the separation of the breeds, and breeds the Japanese type herself - she has no reason to somehow favour the "American" type. Many people lack knowledge about the history of the Akitas, but the breeding lines in post-WWII Japan were actually meticulously documented - *because* they were working at "cleaning up" the breed.
I don't doubt that the breed had to be recontructed, my point is simply that there *were* original type Akita left after the war, be it a very small number.
lovethatbenny (continued): In Europe, Akitas looked like today's Japanese type, because they continued to bring dogs from Japan into their breeding. But they didn't eliminate black masks, pinto coats, etc. The European akitas fall between the chairs today, because their body type is different from the American Akita, but their colours are often not allowed in the Japanese standard. I had an akita like that in the 1990's when the breed split in two - "Japanese" body, "American" colours. :o)
Also, most Europian countries consider the two seperate breeds, and the Japanese Akita is judged by the same standard they use in Japan. Pinto and black masks are not allowed.
It was some time since the breed split, so people have adjusted to it now. Some breeders who like "American" colours have brought American Akitas into their breeding lines to adjust more to the American standard. But people didn't agree about it at all in the 1990's. For example, my dog's breeder left the Akita Club of Germany in protest because of it. I personally like the old "European" type the most, but sadly it's now not very suitable to either standard, so maybe it will slowly disappear.
You are very lucky to have such a beautiful friend! What a sweetheart! Next year, we will be getting an Akita and a Shiba...I CAN'T WAIT!!! I LOVE DOGS, THEY RULE!!! Take good care of that precious sweetie!
Sorry to dissapoint you guys..that is not a Japanese Akita...it has the wrong color,black mask,wrong proportions...saying that is a Japanese Akita is like calling a German Shepard a Collie.
Sorry to disappoint you, RyuukoGo, but German Shepherds and Collies didn't become separate breeds only about 15 years ago, so it's not the same thing at all. :o)
Japanese breeders decided to "purify" their Akitas and "recreate" a breed that would be like they thought it was before it was mixed with Mastiffs and Ovcharkas several centuries ago, when it was used as a fighting dog. Before the 1990's, American, European and Japanese Akitas were all the same breed.
japanese my ass.the only japanese in this dog is its origin. stop f****ing around with this beautiful breed...you made it like yourselves.the only thing that matters to you is size. thats why you messed up this breed
I'm going to jump right in here with all the discussion about American vs. Japanese Akita. I do not think that this dog is called "great japanese dog" anywhere. I "believe" it's always been Akita Inu from the very start in Japan. And then when the breed was brought to America " originally by Helen Keller", by the way, some changes occured to the breed standard and that's when I really lose track of what happened. At least that's how I understand it. And if it's an Akita, it's tail WILL curl.
Touchy, touchy. I HAVE an Akita, so I DO know a little. Who the hell are you anyway. The displayer of this video is Qsilva, I thought. By the way, a "donut" is something you eat. Buy a dictionary.
Cute puppy! Definitely an American Akita or could be a mix of the Japanese and American Akitas (pinto coats aren't allowed in the Japanese Akita standard but it's fine in the American Akita standard). Japanese Akitas come in brindle (tora or tiger), white or red/white coats. FYI, among the very few countries that do not recognize Japanese Akitas as a separate breed from American Akitas are the US and Canada; the rest of the world, including Japan, says they're two distinct breeds.
hi.. nice dog.. i have japanese akita... its the american which has a black mask on the face.. and much bigger due to interbreedin.. with other larger dogs..
akita is ment to be white... and this will be alot of money... nice dog yours :)
Thanks a lot for the kind comments, aren't Akitas the best dogs in the world ? Its funny but that ring around her nose has now virtually disappeared. I'm hoping to add a more recent vid of her as she is now 4 years old and a real character.
The Japanese Akita is smaller due to interbreeding of smaller specimens of Akitas, a breed that existed until the 90's and had the same standard in all the world.
The "original" Akita that was "reconstructed" in the Japanese type vanished a long time ago. In ancient times, it was crossbred with other breeds, because people used it as a hunting and guarding dog, and preferred a stronger dog. All Japanese Akitas today have Mastiff blood in them, too--it just doesn't show. That's genetics for you!
As far as I know its all about the classification of the dogs. I think certain organizations want to seperate the smaller Akita Inu from the larger Akitas.So they try and introduce a different name. As far as I am concerned mines a Japanese Akita.
That seperation happened years ago! The FCI split them about 7 years ago now after the Japanese Kennel Club complained because they do not consider these dogs to be "true Akitas"
The American and Canadian KC are now the only Kennel Clubs that have not gone with the rest of the dog world and split the breeds.
the Traditional Japanese akita Inu, is not what the AKC recognizes.. Which is sad, doesnt give credit to the origin of the breed for what they truly are. The Traditional Akitas only come in 3 colors Red and white, White, and Brindle. I had a traditional red and white female for 13.5 years. She was the best dog i ever owned, i wont get another breed of dog. Sticking with Traditional.

Cute puppy! Definitely an American Akita or could be a mix of the Japanese and American Akitas (pinto coats aren't allowed in the Japanese Akita standard but it's fine in the American Akita standard). Japanese Akitas come in brindle (tora or tiger), white or red/white coats. FYI, among the very few countries that do not recognize Japanese Akitas as a separate breed from American Akitas are the US and Canada; the rest of the world, including Japan, says they're two distinct breeds.

Thanks a lot for the kind comments, aren't Akitas the best dogs in the world ? Its funny but that ring around her nose has now virtually disappeared. I'm hoping to add a more recent vid of her as she is now 4 years old and a real character.

The Japanese Akita is smaller due to interbreeding of smaller specimens of Akitas, a breed that existed until the 90's and had the same standard in all the world.
The "original" Akita that was "reconstructed" in the Japanese type vanished a long time ago. In ancient times, it was crossbred with other breeds, because people used it as a hunting and guarding dog, and preferred a stronger dog. All Japanese Akitas today have Mastiff blood in them, too--it just doesn't show. That's genetics for you!

I keep hearing that, is there really some such thing as a Japanese akita and an American akita?

As far as I know its all about the classification of the dogs. I think certain organizations want to seperate the smaller Akita Inu from the larger Akitas.So they try and introduce a different name. As far as I am concerned mines a Japanese Akita.

That seperation happened years ago! The FCI split them about 7 years ago now after the Japanese Kennel Club complained because they do not consider these dogs to be "true Akitas"
The American and Canadian KC are now the only Kennel Clubs that have not gone with the rest of the dog world and split the breeds.

Read the Akita split reports before posting comments like this. There Is a reasons why JKC split the akita's.
And by the way the AKC does not have the authority to split the breed It is up to the ACA!! (akita club of america)
