The Akita Inu came from Japan just like the Shiba Inu.
Author Rumiko Takahashi stated in an interview that Inuyasha is an akita inu.
An Akita Inu ('inu' meaning dog) is a breed of dog named after the Akita prefecture in Japan from which it is thought to have originated. The Akita is one of the oldest breeds of dog aware to man. Traditionally it was used for hunting animals.
Yes, but it is sometimes reffered to as an Akita. A Shiba Inu is a different breed. See the related links for more information.
Akita is the name of a city in Japan where the dog breed Akita Inu is believed to have originated from.
A Shiba Inu is the smallest of the five Breeds native to Japan with the Akita Inu being the largest.
There are many Akita Inus in the United States, but they are mostly in the colder states.
i know of 3 breeds. shiba inu, akita inu (aka akita) and Japanese chin. chow chow is either Japanese or Chinese but I'm not sure
best dog is the japanese akita because it is purebred and really protective.The american akita is also protective buy it is not purebred and looks a little like a bulldog so I prefer an akita inu
The Japanese proper name is Akita (a prefecture name), also applied to a dog breed, the Akita Inu.
The Akita will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. It is moderately active indoors and will do best with a large yard. The Akita needs moderate but regular exercise to stay in shape. It should be taken for long daily walks.
the Japanese akita inu was created in world war 2, the story is there was a Japanese mother with 3 kids in world war 2 and she had to leave her home to go find her and her kids food and water but she couldent leave them alone, so she bred her 2 dogs toghether and made the Japanese akita inu to protect her kids. there also known as the babysitter dogs. after that mothers all around the world leave there kids in the safe hands of the Japanese akita inu. in japan when someone is sick or having a baby there family and friends give them a statue of the Japanese akita inu for a symble of good luck and loyalty. the Japanese akita inu is a, loyal, corageus, very very smart, great with kids, protective dog, they are made for babysitting children and protecting there family even if it means his or her life. he will die for you. hatchi was a Japanese akita inu too. as the Americans ruined the Japanese akits inu by breeding them with something else and making the American akita. the American akitas story is, these Americans were jelouse of how stong and loyal the Japanese akita inus were, so they took one and bred it with a whole bunch of diffarend dogs to try to out bid the Japanese akits inu. so the dogs they have now are American akits and they are so diffarent, they, are bigger (not better at all), stronger, more diffarent. the American akita is not good with clildren. needs a strong leader. needs to know who is the alpha. the American akita is now made for killing brear and big game. and dog fighting too. if you have children of any age i highly recomend the Japanese akita inu.
