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".
