About Akitas
Akitas were bred in Japan's mountainous Akita Prefecture to hunt large game and guard the home, and that same quiet, dignified confidence still defines the breed today. Hachiko, the Akita famous for waiting at a Tokyo train station for his owner every day for nearly a decade after his death, made that loyalty famous worldwide. An Akita bonds hard to one person or family, stays watchful around strangers, and rarely barks without reason, traits that make a serious, independent companion rather than an eager to please lap dog. Owners often describe the breed as cat-like: aloof with outsiders, openly affectionate at home, and quietly convinced they're in charge.
