History: The Akita originated in Akita, Japan and was originally developed in the 19th century as a watchdog and hunting dog. It is believed that the Akita was brought to the United States by Helen Keller, who took a liking to the breed after visiting Japan. After World War II, the Akita's popularity began to grow, as American servicemen who were stationed in Japan brought more Akitas to the United States. Over time, the American Akita started to evolve into a stronger, more robust dog than the Japanese Akita. The breed was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1972.

Temperament: Akitas are alert, dignified, and courageous. They're fairly friendly and are very affectionate and loving with family members, but have a tendency to be hesitant around strangers. This breed has a variable temperament and requires experienced handling. Akitas can become aggressive and willful if not trained properly, so it's important to set boundaries and rules for an Akita during puppyhood. This breed isn't inherently good with children, but they can get along with them if carefully socialized. Because training an Akita can be somewhat difficult, they're not recommended for first-time dog owners. With the right owner, the Akita makes an outstanding pet and loyal guardian of the family.
