Akitas are powerful, strong-willed dogs with a strong prey drive, which can lead them to chase and potentially attack smaller animals like rabbits. Their instinct to hunt may be triggered by the movement of a rabbit, making supervision essential when they are around such animals. Proper training and socialization can help mitigate aggressive tendencies, but caution is always advised when introducing Akitas to small pets. It's important for owners to assess their dog's temperament and behavior around other animals.
