Temperament & Personality

The Akita Inu dog

The Akita Inu dog breed has a personality and temperament that is alert, faithful, and protective of its family.  While the Akita is not a watch dog, they are excellent guard dogs. Due to its dominant nature, the Akita does not interact well with other dogs.
 

The Akita is a Japanese breed. In his native country the Akita has been declared a "national treasure." An Akita in a home is believed to be a symbol of good health, prosperity and good fortune. Helen Keller brought the first Akita to the United States in 1937. The breed did not come again to American shores until after WW2 when returning GIs brought Akitas to America. They are a wonderful, magnificent breed but certainly not a dog for everyone.
