No, they shed alot and that means that they are bad for people that have allergies

They are loyal and loving friends to have around the house, i would know because some people i know have them:)

The area of Akita City is 905.67 square kilometers.

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.

Their right at the 700

Akita's come from Japan. But can be found living anywhere in the world.

Well this year, it got up to 110+ in NC. Everyone was at school and work during they day. My dog was fine, didnt get sick or anything, but when I got home, I brought her straight into the house.

The bite pressure of the Akita Inu (Odate styled) is 700 psi, equal to that of a lion.

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.

No, they are 2nd strongest. The strongest dog in the world is the Kurdish Shepard Dog.

No they are not, you can tell because the Akita tend to grow much bigger that the shiba inu. They are related to one another,but they are different.

Nutro dog food is really good for an akita because it keeps them healthy and helps them grow. Thanks ERIC

Akita's are very independent. They are difficult to train and are big dogs that can be imposing.

Labradors are very loyal and willing to please. They are easily trained and are very common.

It depends what you want from the dog which is better for you.

5 feet 6 inches

In Japan the city northeast of Akita is Hachinohe.

Yes they are,I have 3 akitas and they stay home all the time they just sleep and wait till you get home,in japan were akitas first came from they trained the dogs to watch kids when the parents were gone.

The average lifespan of Akita is around 10 to 13 years. Akita has a similar lifespan to other large size breeds such as German Shepherd and Golden Retriever. ... Large size dog breeds like Akita usually live shorter because of more genetic disorders and early aging. They aged more quickly than small size breeds.

Akitas are taller and heavier than Huskies.

Akitas are large, powerful dogs - but no - there are stronger dogs. They usually have a very strong and independent personality.
