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 London?
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 and around London today, Akitas are listed by National Animal Welfare Trust Hertfordshire (at Watford, about 15 miles away) and Rescue Remedies (at Smallfield, about 23 miles away). National Animal Welfare Trust Hertfordshire asks £250 for a dog. For Rescue Remedies, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free Akita to a good home in London, 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 and around London today, National Animal Welfare Trust Hertfordshire publishes its fee: it asks £250 for a dog. Every one of those is under £500. For the other rescue, see the rescue's own page.
