The Akita is one of Seven Breeds designated as a National Monument in his native country of Japan. Bred as a versatile hunting dog in the rugged mountains of Northern Japan, the breed is a wonderful combination of dignity with good nature, alert courage and docility.
The Akita is named for the province of Akita in northern Japan, where they are believed to have originated. The Akita's known existence goes back to the 1600s, when the breed guarded Japanese royalty and was used for hunting fowl and large game (including bears).

This breed is not to be trifled with. They might look cute and cuddly but don’t let that fool you.
What is the difference between American Akita's and Japanese Akita Inu? Are they both good guard dogs?
@@adviksandhu1943 the Akitas on this video are all American Akitas, by the way :)
Advik Sandhu Does this help?... ruclips.net/video/lS379RMDxxQ/видео.html
@Stephania Pierce I wrote a longer reply to Advik explaining him some differences between the two, but for some reason it's not showing up. Then I added that second comment
@@luis1993santos I think I kind of got it. American Akita's are a little more bigger than Japanese ones. I kinda like the sturdy look of the American. Thanks for your efforts though. I do not know much on which one has better temperment and all that so which one do you think I should try getting?
I had an Akita for 16 years, got her when she was 6 weeks old, she was an excellent dog ,couldn't ask for better
Had an Akita for 13 years. Even though she was the run of the litter she was the best buddy I’ve ever had. She took down someone who broke in the house. Best dog breed around. In my opinion.
Disengaged dog owner that’s a lot better way to put it
I had an amazing Akita who changed my life and now I have my second Akita who is also incredibly loyal, extremely smart and she’s well-socialized and fine with other dogs. We go on so many adventures together. I love akitas, I hope I can always have one.
Finally your well educated take on the American Akita 😎. Proud owner here and you are absolutely right this breed is real unique and different they have that oriental mystic and power. They can be a good dog for a first time dog owner IF like you said give attention and focus on the dog having 2 males is only for advanced trainers with American Akita experience. 2 females in a home is almost impossible.
I would be a first time owner, but I've studied dogs for years and take decisive, but deeply mediated decisions. Would you expand on what a first time owner would need to do? I work in tech and will very busy in early stage tech company soon, but I love being active, what could make me be the best possible fit for an American Akita? I also don't live in a home with a yard, but fairly spacious apt.
@@jessemwakajumba9582 you can have an Akita in a large apartment granted you take your dog on a a daily walk 30 minutes a day and if possible 40 minutes on the weekends the reason reason it's possible Akitas are cat like very clean and easy to potty train and house break.. Socializtion is important having visitors of all ages to get your new Akita used to kids and people. Their guard dog instincts have Nell down methodically that past 25 years but socialization and some training is a must. As far as dog to dog aggression there are no guarantees socialization will work in the dog's lifetime they just don't put up with rough play or annoying dog's. These Japanese breeds of all sizes bark only on occasion and they don't growl typically and since their tails are curled you have to keep an eye on your Akita at all times to watch for the few signals they might give should they retaliate on another dog.
@@jessemwakajumba9582 Akitas need exercise. No yard is a very serious deficiency. I have had 3 and have a nice yard. They ran the fence line and wore a path exercising themselves. I would find a house with a yard. Dump the apt. It's not good for you or an Akita. An Akita is worth it
My first dog is an akita. I have a male and long coat female. Love them so much! Yes, you will have to be mentally prepared and understand the breed. They are great!
My first dog was a 77kg American Akita called Keiko and lived until he was 11 as he got cancer. What an amazing dog he was. Total protector, amazing with other dogs, babies, children and people alike. Great with my female Japanese Akita and Staffordshire bull terrier. Such an emotional goofy dog. I loved him very much, he worshipped me… I miss him so much.
Best guard dog, child friendly, we loved our girl. Dakota she was the best with our girls frowning up.
I meant she was the best with our girls when they were growing up.
How old were your kids? And did the guarding instincts kick in naturally? My kids are 6 and 4
Thank you so much!!
So love you channel and all your information!!!
Great video!! missed one thing. They're great climbers. Most fences won't hold them and very smart opening latches.
Agreed on that "First Time Dog Owner" stuff. You hear it in almost every breed interview...Sorry but I'm not trynna have a pug or a korgi. I want a DOG DOG not a pupper pupper.
yeah I agree...for some reason ive just never liked small / tiny dog breeds...they just come across as a bit of an annoyance...since they tend to be more more noisy and honestly...they cant do the working jobs such as protection and guarding a large dog breed can...plus the akita is one of the quietest dog breeds in the world so theres the added bonus
I get not wanting a small dog or a dog that's a completely different type than what you actually like, but there are plenty of dogs that are large and good for first-time owners. Some that come to mind are Labs, Goldens, Huskys, Boxer, Great Dane and the Bernese Mountain Dog. Now, I agree most people could probably handle a more difficult breed as a first time owner if they are prepared to study hard and put in the work, but if you feel you'd be just as happy with a similar but easier breed that's just a safer bet, IMO.
@John Smith Lol, labs are the most likely to push you over though. They have no sense of where their bodies start and end when they get riled up. But in all seriousness, yes, a Lab or a Golden would be a fairly safe bet. What's your favorite large breed for an inexperienced owner (apart from the ones already mentioned)?
@@emmamemma4162 see what I mean? Lol You come with a list of "easy first time" dogs and someone always comes around and says "not for first timers" the only dog in that list you gave that I haven't heard that cursed phrase are labs and goldens 😂
And unfortunately, much like our dogs, our lives are finite. So when one dog can already be a financial and social decision that alters so much of your lifestyle for 8-15 years...It doesn't really leave a whole lot of time to climb the "dog experience" ladder and it's honestly weird to think of dogs in that way. So people should just research, prepare as much as possible, and get the dog they want to be companions with cause life is too short
Yessss Akitas...finally I have a female and they really are what people say they are...they are guard dogs...and dont like strangers and love family...although mine isnt very touchy touchy..they dont like dogs at all...and they are very stubborn LOL I swear they will do the opposite of everything you tell them to do...also in the 9 months shes been with me ...I heard her serious bark like 3 times..honestly if she didnt go to the fence I dont think anyone would know I have dog in my backyard lol...but I must say when she does..its loud af and shocks me ..and this akita is my 3rd dog (technically) and they really are more cat like than dog at times..they are NOT your regular dog honestly you can tell they have that primitive side to them where they go for anything that moves in the backyard ...but I love em but they would take a first time dog owner by surprise...they dont have the same mentality as most other dog breeds and finally ill just say I LOVE the bone structure of the Akitas in america ..the Akitas where I live somehow just lack that thickness in bone structure but overall its a great dog but surely for a first time dog owner they are much better large dog breeds than an akita (especially if you have children) but if you get one you will love him / her
Very true blowing leaves on my walks are a nightmare 😂
Hello ... I am being offered a three year old american akita ... Do you think its too dangerous to take in as a adult ?
@@joshuacantu4352 Well im no Akita expert ...my female is my first one but they generally dont like strangers....I think you need to be around him a while to really see how his personality is and certainly if you have children introduce them carefully ...if after a few days around the akita you seem to trust the akita and the akita trusts you then you would know whats best ...hopefully someone more educated on akitas can answer your question bro...try reddit in the akita thread that should be extra helpful!
I was blessed to grow up in an Akita breeding family. I grew up around these graceful beasts, and am seriously thinking about getting one for my own family now.
First time dog owner here and i was nearly put off by all the negative talk. But i knew what i was up for and prepared to put the time in. I had a personal trainer at my home the next day to give me tips. We did puppy school for 8mths. I also take him to day care once a wk to socialise. He is the most adorable affectionate friendly dog. Everyone comments on how well behaved and obedient he is when they visit. I wish i got one much sooner
They are so CUTE! I end up saying this watching all your videos. The last one with the dark face looks like a teddy bear that's smiling. Beautiful footage
Appreciate your explanation for people considering getting this breed.
Thank you for your video and sharing your opinion.
This is my favorite Akita Breed educational video I have seen.
We own 2 Akita’s and I agree with everything you have said.
Especially about the there genetic health issues.
Again Thank you and keep on posting your videos!! 👏🏾👏🏾
this is the best dog channel on youtube, i really appreciate your work bro as i'm so passioned with dogs and especially large breed dogs livestock/guard.... i have watched almost all your videos, at the moment im living in london which is quite hard to own such a dog as i dont have enough space/time for.. i hope one day i will move back to my country side in Romania where i was born. there i have a very large front garden and a huge back garden and i will take with me either an american akita, a central asian shepherd or a cane corso... i like pretty much most large breeds but these are top also turkish kangal
Zeke, you have an amazing voice! The first part of the vid was kind of dry cuz I know you were just reading it off a paper. But when you when off script and just talked socially, it was great. I'm considering an Akita. Thanks for the info.
Absolutely beautiful dogs we had one and foreal once you had one you'll never forget it. Very unique
Another great video bro🔥🔥🇨🇦keep your the great work you’re doing. When is that Rottie video video come?
I've had 2 American Akitas. They CAN be socialized to the point of non aggression with other dogs. I did so with both of mine. It takes loads of time and training but it's worth it. My last Akita, Khan, would all but ignore other dogs, but he hated coyotes. That was fine with me. He also loved cats...even those he didn't "know" . He was never an aggressive dog. He did protect my wife once. Some guy got in her face while Khan was with her at work at started yelling at her. Khan slammed him to the floor and just stood over him. The man got up slowly and quietly left. I was very proud of Khan.
Anyone with time , love , and patience, much patience, can make an Akita a wonderful companion. They are often said to be stubborn but they aren't. They're just very intelligent and if they see no good reason to do something, they won't do it. When I train my dogs, I use normal language just as I do with my kids. I talk to them like I would anybody. In my experience they respond very well to this. NEVER yell at an Akita. After some time, I could tell Khan to "go plant his ass" and he'd go sit his butt on the couch with his front legs on the floor, almost sitting like a human. It was funny.
Khan has been gone now for 15 yrs. He was the finest dog I've ever owned. I still think about him every day. I'm just now to the point of considering getting another Akita. I will never own another breed even though I know there are excellent dogs out there. The video is correct. Learn the breed in depth before you get one. These dogs are a challenge and will be discouraging for most first time owners due to their intelligence and their extreme power. If you can persevere, you'll be greatly rewarded.
Their tails
Are so unique
The way they lay
And rest on there backs
And the way they wag
Their tails also
Interesting
Great video
Thanks
Japanese Akita are one of the best looking dogs I’ve seen!!!
I agree but there were no Japanse akitas in this video these are American akitas
My favorite dog on looks alone is the Japanese Akita 😍
@Liam Van Ginkel I’m aware
@@vanessagonzalez7862 they are not suitable to average people.
@@dirozx shut up lol
Great information. I love their look. Beautiful dogs.
The term "disengaged owner" should become a common industry term. It better describes the situation for someone that may want to own a certain breed. Glad you mentioned the difference between the American and the Japanese Akita because it varies quite a bit. I saw Vladimir Putin receive an Akita puppy as a gift a while back and I have seen the dog as it has grown and it is not a good looking example of the breed. This is one breed that America has apparently done a good job with. These are fantastic dogs that are natural guardians and many times they are the epitome of the term "aloof". They definitely become a member of the family and they will protect that family really well. Great review.
You should do a breed review on the Tibetan mastiff, it’s my favorite dog breed and I would love to see you cover it!
My sister has an Akita and she is one of the most sweet dogs I have ever met. They also have a pit bull and they actually get along really well, but they were raised as puppies together. Nami(the Akita) is the more behaved one and was easier to train from what she said, but they are both very affectionate.
Nice video,nice breed 🔥🥰
nice one! akita is a wonderful breed
Beautiful breed. Never owned one. Thank you
Awesome channel 👍🤙
Zeke, once you're able to travel again can you check out the Laizhou Hong (Chinese Red Dog)? I think it's related to the CQD you did a video of a year or so ago.
Try this breakdown, Zeke: My•us•theen•ya or My•us•theen•knee•ya Gravis ...it helped me when in nurse tech school. People can you have it too.
It's like you knew I was doing Akita research today
Bloat is a very big issue with this breed as well. I have not seen a lot of PRA in the breed, but autoimmune issues are there so ekg which can cause blindness such as vkh. A lot of thyroid issues too. I do think this breed is not a good choice for many first time dog owners...
My friend's female Akita took on 2 German Shepherds and kicked their asses. Didn't suffer a scratch
❤❤ huge thanks for considering my comment❤
I'm a dog groomer and an Akita owner. I get customers asking me all the time how I like owning them because they're really interested. I say the same thing but say if they're a disengaged dog owner there's no point in getting one because if you can't control it it's just going to end badly. I also have to turn some away because these people are disengaged and they didn't know what they were doing. It's sad because this breed is so wonderful and great to have but they aren't for the faint.
I agree with that, I wish people would actually do the research. My first dog was American akita, I did months of research when I decided to get that breed. They say they're not good for first time owners but I did good on raising him. He likes kids, he likes to say hi to some people mostly woman, but he does like his space. I did mess up on the animals though, so I dont take him off leash.
@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 if people would just do that it would make it so much easier to say yes they're wonderful. My boy only likes small dogs and he's a little iffy with some people but women tend to be all right. Other than that he's great.
@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843
Well said. I have two, as you can see on my channel. The female has been easier to socialize than my male, but he is getting better.
@@Godssillyestgoose
My male is still a pup. 6 months old and a slim mid 80 lbs range. Gonna be a big boy. Sometimes he decides he doesn't like a particular dog. I'm still learning dog body language so I haven't pinned down the reasons yet that he decides to go off. Most dogs he ignores. Maybe 1 in 10 he shows interest in playing with. 1 in 15 he wants to kill. The rest he is aloof around.
In japan they used to fight these dogs and was always winning that's why they started to breed a dog to get some respect back and after years of breeding they breed the tosa, which matched the akita and actually started to dominate..
No tosa fights are totally different they don't let the dogs bite each other the fight is like sumo wrestling
@@tobi-dn9th lol look at some tosa fights lol and they bite each other real good , you've got to be dumb as crap to think they fight but don't bite lol at least you've made me and all my mates laugh..the only difference from our rules and there rules is it's timed and it has to be quiet no growls or barks ect , totally silent if a dog barks it's disqualified
Please do old-fashioned/original open-face/long-nose Chow Chows!!
I love thaws dogs. Have lived with them for years and years. The two I have now are so rad. They really are difficult at times. But they are so fun. They move around like cats. And mine are huge and powerful. Like owners say. I can’t ever own anouther dog breed. So Loyal and beautiful.
Please do one soon on the Blue Heeler!! Thanks!!
i have an akita thats 14 years old I've had her since she was 10 weeks old she is trained to be a service dog a search and rescue dod a tracker and family dog the oldest akita that liv3d in england died at 17 years old i also use emulsfing ointment on all skin conditions it costs around 3.99 it looks like vaseline and is used for Rashes burns and scars applied three times a day will get rid of all skin conditions and is also used in the british military as i was a dog handler medic and signalman in the british army and i first hand experience in training dogs and i know that the akita makes a great all round working dog if you have the patients to train it
This dudes voice is awesome
Can you do a video on the Asawakh dog?
Good info
I love my Akita :)
Can u plz do beagle breed review I would love to see that cuz I am a true dog lover
I love my 17 month old Akita. He is very protective of me, and weary of strangers. Great family protection dog. Needs more socializing though.
These are my first dogs and you need to know what your doing when your getting these dogs. You must be committed when getting these breed's. You won't really be able to get anyone to look after them as they won't be able to unless they know the breed or they know dogs in general. If your someone that's around alot then you'll get on fine but they don't really like being left alone. They're very strong dogs. Even my cross breed has immense strength and he's half the size of the big man.
I love this breed so much. They are so beautiful and such a good fit for my life. Some things I don’t care for so much but none of us are perfect right 🤣
My stepdad had an Akita when we joined our families. She went from just him and her to a full family and was so happy about it. She was all of our protector, I miss Tomo often, Tomodachi was her name, which is Japanese for friend.
Every time I talk about a breed he makes a video on it😂😂
Can’t decide between an American Akita or Rottweiler. Both are my favorite breeds
If you want a rotti get a German rot not American.
Same position I’m in.
It depends. I’d recommend a rottie if you want to do sports training. My Akita is obedient,Loyal,good with kids, good with dogs, protects the house, but the only thing is that he is too lazy for sports.
Want to know about loyalty from this breed, look up the story of Hachiko the Akita. AMazing!
I’ve never owned a dog myself but my parents, while growing up always had German Shepherds and Akita’s. I’m more predisposed to getting a Akita but would be open to a less aggressive dog even though Akita’s are typically not aggressive.
Nice boss
Can you do the Shar pei?
I so want to get one...
Really underrated breed!
Yes not a first time dog owner breed for sure. They look beautiful and that’s what people look at. Many don’t do research and search for a dog that fits their lifestyle, or what i like to say: do you fit your dogs lifestyle??
Do a video on a Shibu Inu next
My akitas dog sosmart used to clean his toys in the toy box he did not want anybody watching him so smart sleeping baby barks deep sleep
I have a ten year old American akita all you said is spot on a have had a walis pit in 1990 then a mastiff this is by far most dangerous one of the free its mostly on there turms please think hard before getting one most people should not own one...great vid thanks
Sounds like your dog owns you
Why is that
@@waynepower766 You said most things are on the dogs terms. That's not how a dog/human relationship works and a dog should know that from the start. Letting a dog think things are on his terms is setting the dog up for failure and possible danger.
I mean like cuddle s stuff like that my dog does what a say but they are not like Velcro dogs they guard the come check your ok then go back to work I am a dog trainer 4 years military dogs 12 years police dogs now I train blind dogs so if you wish to meet we can film see who's dog wins like the vid I was pointing out they are not for most people get a life and stop trying to be clever . If you look on any akita web page you will see same thing so do people lower down on her ..to many fools get akitas and they end up in shelters I have no crayons or colouring books to teach you good day and good bye
Make a video on samoyed
I like both the Japanese and the American Akitas
Can you do a APPDA/ PSA Video
Please do a SHAR PEI Breed review.. :-)
my suggestion is if your a first time dog owner of a breed that is not considered for " first time dog owners" is to take the puppy to training class where it would be properly socialized and trained. dogs can be over 10 to 12 years of companionship that you have to invest in food and cover medical cost, so to purchase a dog because it's suitable for "first time dog owners" and than get that experience to move on to the akita you actually want, i think would be a mistake for most people. now you got to cover the potential medical cost of two dogs.
Yo . Good video . Would love to send a vid / pic in of my Akita . Dawa the snow lion
Tibetan Mastiff breed review??
Is it possible to have an male Akita with a bunch of female ?
i wishd id had some day 7 akitas 5 studs and 2 females
I have an American Akita. Very loyal and beautiful dog. I love him very much. But we do have to be very diligent with him.
Why don't you make a video on japanese akita??
Can u do Dobermans
Please document Indian hound breeds if possible, there is hardly any video documentation of Indian breeds like Caravan Hound/Mudhol Hound/Pashmi, Chippiparai/Kanni, Rampur Hound and Rajapalayam Hound. All these breeds are officially recognised by the Kennel Club Of India but hardly any video dpcumentation.
Finally my dog gets some recognition 🙏🏽
The Akita is one of the most beautiful dog's in the world
I WISHD ID HAD 3 AKITAS
My Akita male was the most complete dog I’ve ever owned and trained! I would own another if I can find the right breeding.
I WISHD ID HAD 7 AKITAS
Please do CHOW CHOW!!!
I own an Akita, I have videos of him on my channel.
Bro do a review on golden retriver
Such a beautiful dog
My first dog is an akita 👌🏾
I have a Japanese Akita Inu.
Akitas, both American and Japanese, are VERY primitive and wolfy in their behavior. The Japanese type is more primitive and somewhat less prone to aggression, while the opposite can be said for the American Akita, generally speaking.
They are notoriously and unapologetically ALPHA in their demeanor AND extraordinarily independent-minded. This makes for a dog that is self-serving and very serious with and suspicious of anyone outside their inner circle. It's only once they accept someone AND their "master" invites someone onto the domain that they put their guard down and become loving and goofy. Their instincts have not been diluted like most other breeds but rather accentuated, breeding only the most courageous, dominant, and stand-offish specimens, for hundreds of years.
The Akita is a hunting dog, a guarding dog, and a fighting dog all in one, and as such, they have a relentless spirit and RAZOR sharp instincts.
Chow chow please
I have a 4 week old litter. Let me know if interested. Born 1/22/22
Can we get a chow video? 😬
Im looking to buy a female pup Akita. My female is about 12yrs old
Yes! I love this breed. Is the woman I this video still breeding?
There is a longer video on this breed where the woman talks about it
Luis Del Pozo yes, I’ve seen that video, but I can’t find a website or anything with her name on it that’s still in operation
Akitas a great. Not really friendly tho on average
Hello!
Dogo Argentino plz
You did not mention that there are 2 coat varieties. The long coat is beautiful but considered a fault by the ACA (Akita Club of America) They are said to have a “softer” temperament although that is not always the case. As in any Akita, proper training and socializing is necessary. I owned a long coat who had a phenomenal temperament and was 100% non reactive even when faced with aggressive loose dogs. She was my service dog and passed therapy dog tests. She lived peacefully with Pekingese of both sexes, this is an exception to the rule of same sex aggression in the breed. Zeke, one VERY important thing you did not mention is that a large percentage of Akitas suffer from hypothyroidism which usually manifests at maturity although it could be later. Breeding stock should be tested. Hypothyroidism can cause aggression among other problems so I suggest testing annually
So true, if you’re disengaged and don’t put in the work, don’t get an Akita. No other breed like them.
