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 England?
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 England today, Akitas are listed by Chesterfield Animal Rescue (at Dronfield), Doris Banham Dog Rescue (at Cottam) and Rescue Remedies (at Smallfield), and 14 other rescues. Chesterfield Animal Rescue asks £450 for an adult dog and Doris Banham Dog Rescue £250. For Rescue Remedies, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free Akita to a good home in England, 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 England today, the published fees run from £250 at Doris Banham Dog Rescue to £450 at Chesterfield Animal Rescue. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 10, see the rescue's own page.
