The Akita Inu is a Japanese breed very old and belongs to the family of Asian Spitz has a very solid build in balance with the body, the muzzle broad and full and small ears compared to the head. Has a particularly dense hair on the neck which is big, muscular and with the loose skin. The tail of the AK Inu is very particular: it is very thick and curly on the back.
The Akita can be very aggressive towards strangers or other dogs but remains faithful to its master. Consider that in Japan the mothers let their children play with these dogs since the early years of life.
The life expectancy of a specimen of Akita is around 10 years. They can live peacefully in an apartment but have to do much exercise.
The training of an Akita Inu is very confusing because it tends to get bored and do his own thing, but with much patience and a daily exercise even a few minutes you could have good results.

Akita Inu is an endogenic experiment of japanese conquerers in Korea ,and it was made by mixing the strongest members of the same family of JINDO wolf . JINDO is the Korean wolf which has the characteristics of an AKITA INU , and they are only males ( Akita ) Jindo are only females , and are white . The AKITA INU is red colour only , and the other Akita are black and white spots colour , but they are comercial. Though , all the AKITA bread has the same particularities , due to the endogeny ( brother and sister/mother mixing ) : the AKITA bread become deft and blind at 6-8 month , and this is the cause an AKITA is very difficult to be trained . Due to this mutation , caused by endogeny , Akita gain an extrasensorial feeling – telepathy – and the RED colour dog , AND ONLY RED , it is called “Samurai’s dog “. It is a calm dog, almost stupid at the first glance , but very agressive , a killer , and it was used in fights between samurai’s wars. The dog ( RED) has the ability to prevent any agression against his master or him, and attack with anticipation . This fact was proved, but not yet understood . AKITA INU has only one master in life , then he becomes a wild beast , or he commit suicide , refusing food , until he die. This is the most cruel and painfull way to die , and AKITA INU is doing this, despite all the theory about the dog reflexes ( Pavlov) . This means that AKITA INU have a self conscience , very rare in the animal reign . He is able to commit suicide , and this is astounding . Thinking about that , no other dog could fit the Bushido , the Saamurai’s very hard and cruel Way.
AKITA INU is priceless , like the KATANA sword itself , and it is a symbol of Japanes culture . The training of an AKITA INU involves only love and affection , is not a retrival dog or entertainement …Is a life companion , always ready for the ultimate sacrifice for his master . AKITA INU is not a dog, is a person , very complicate , like you are very close friend with a Grizzly bear. If you will have the ocassion to touch or caress an AKITA INU , you will never forget the harsh of his fur and the strenght of his body. He is like a solid rock , snifing and keeping his head up, like the blind people do. If you will even touch an AKITA INU , it will be unforgetable , like you were caressing an adult lion outside the cage. I have more , but I’ll stop here . AKITA INU is not a dog , it is a letal weapon , pittbuls are pussies in fron of him . Remember what I have told you , I’ve had a
white JINDO female , and she was exactly like wolves. Savage and hunting all the time . Everytime when I talked to her ,she licked my face with her ears on the back , but she kill everything what moves around us , with no mercy . This is JINDO , the genitors of AKITA INU >
