Simple answer, yes. If it were stronger, bigger, and/or faster than the German Shepherd and got a good bite into the jugular, it could win in a fight.
you can't. i have a 120 lb akita she is very aggressive towards other animals even males. its there nature to protect
No dog is a great fighting dog. All dog fighting is a disgusting display.
The answer to your question, is yes. I have 3 akitas. They make wonderful dogs, If you have ever hears of aggressive akita stories, do not listen. They are not like that. They are a great family pet, I would not even call my dogs pets they are more like family. We wash our dogs once a month but you do not have to you could probly do it once every 3 or 2 months.
I've been searching for the answer a long time. Our Kiki lived 14 yrs, 7 months and a day. Best pet we ever had.
From what I've read up on they average from 130 to 160pounds but I've seen some get 200pounds but my guess is that they're older overweight akitas.
The lock jaw myth started with the pitbull breed. Expert scientific studies prove that the jaws of Pit Bulls are no different than any other breed of dog. There is no evidence that any kind of locking mechanism exists in the American Pit Bull Terrier or any other related dog breed.
The akita can outrun an adult lion...... I don't know about the preceding point but it seems highly unlikely, my Akita can outrun any human (obviously!) but compared to other dogs is probably one of the slower breeds; heavy muscle and bone does not a fast dog make. My friend owns a deer hound and a lurcher and my sister owns a mini-spitz, all 3 make my Akita look very slow indeed.
They get upto 24.5-28in (62-71cm) tall and weigh about 110 lbs (50kg).
10 to 11 years
They can live up to 10 - 12 years. Akitas are very smart and should not be left alone for along time. Akitas came from Japan into the US by Helen Keller.
no because akita is areally strong dog and they are fighting dogs. people think that pit bull is really strong but they are not. akita have a wolf blood too. i have an akita and belive me they are more strong than you imagin. sorry for me bad English.
nah dude pits are stronger there also very closey related to grey wolfs and are faster even on this site i saw they said akitas aren't used as fight dogs as much as pitbulls and that pits were found to be more efficent fighters and also don't fight these dogs its not cool
Since Akita dogs are a breed and not a species, they do not have their own scientific name.
I have a year akita/husky that is a year old and two monthes and weighs in at 75 pounds. And the vets say she could be heavier but she is healthy.. maybe a little skinny but not too much at all... She is a good dog with ALL dogs and ALL kids. She is the most beautiful thing i have laid my eyes on!.. except she can clear an 11 ft. fence without touching it.. and she likes to perch like a bird on the fences.
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

i have an akita and he is a very tame and calm dog..i dont think that they are dangerous depending on the way the owner treats the dog but my answer to you question is No they are not dangerous! Hope this helps you out!} === Akitas are Strong because they are bred to hunt and carry stuff in the ancient world of Japan. There are Japanese Akitas and American AKitas. American Akitas have gray, and black color. And Japanese akitas have red/white, white , and black.
