About Akitas
The Royal Kennel Club describes the Akita as a "strong, courageous dog of Japanese origin" and the largest breed in its Utility group. It was developed in Japan for hunting bear, deer and wild boar, and the Akita as we see it today was developed in America, "becoming stronger in bone and substance".

Are there Akita puppies for sale in Derbyshire?
No. Rescues rehome Akitas for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In Derbyshire today, Akitas are listed by Chesterfield Animal Rescue (at Dronfield) and Ashbourne Animal Welfare (at Ashbourne). Chesterfield Animal Rescue asks £450 for an adult dog and Ashbourne Animal Welfare £275 for an adult dog.
Can I get a free Akita to a good home in Derbyshire, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing Akitas in Derbyshire today, the published fees run from £275 at Ashbourne Animal Welfare to £450 at Chesterfield Animal Rescue. Every one of those is under £500.
