All About Akita Dogs PLR

The Akita dog originated in the mountainous regions of northern Japan and is considered among the semi-large breed of dogs. Interestingly, there are two strains of the Akita breed – the Japanese strain and the American strain. The Japanese strain comes in limited colors while the American breed covers practically all dog colors. 

The Akita breed features a double-coat which is common among spitz breeds such as the Siberian Husky. They are an independent and powerful set of dogs who are not too inclined with strangers but more comfortable and affectionate towards their immediate family. In the US, the two strains are considered as one breed while in other countries, they are considered separate. 

A lot of people first learned about Akita dogs after hearing the story of Hachiko, a loyal dog who waited for around nine years for his owner to return home after he traveled to work – this was before World War II. His owner died of a cerebral hemorrhage while at work so the dog returned to the station where they met up every day until he later died.
