The Akita is known for being feisty, so you should be wary of one when you first see it, and ask the owner for permission before approaching it.

However, they are very affectionate towards their family. An Akita will protect his/her family in a dangerous situation, and would probably go after a fire breathing dragon if that was the case.

If you are introduced to an Akita, take some time and let it learn that you are not a threat. Akitas are independent by nature, so do not try to force a relationship.

Is there a type of dog called a American akita?

Yes, although they are frequently simply called Akitas. Since roughly around WWII there has been some split between the American (and, more generally, Western) strains of the Akita breed and the Japanese strains; bred to different standards and in some cases extracted from different starting bloodlines, the strains developed in quite different directions until you get what there is today--two very distinct types of dogs that at one time were the same breed, but are now increasingly coming to be considered two distinct breeds.

The American Akita is generally larger and has more variation in color than its Japanese cousin. Temperaments also differ significantly, although both breeds are very large and powerful dogs with some tendency toward aloofness. Most people strongly prefer one type over the other. Most of the Akita breeders I am familiar with produce the American type, which is more common in North America and much of Europe. They say that the American type is generally somewhat more affectionate and has fewer near-feral traits, whereas the Japanese type tends to act more like the much smaller Shiba, but I've never met a Japanese type dog in person and thus truly don't know.

In the United States the two are still registered as the same breed, although mixing them is discouraged. The American type is what is shown in AKC shows, and although nothing is directly preventing a Japanese-type dog from competing, it would be unlikely to place highly against the American standard. My understanding is that both types are fairly frequently seen in Europe, and the FCI has started to register the two breeds as separate breeds--the American Akita and the Akita Inu.
