Akita
Akitas were originally bred to hunt and guard. Akitas are loyal and protective dogs. Akitas are dominant and independent dogs, and require confident and experienced handling. Akitas have a reputation for being less tolerant towards other animals. This is especially true of dogs that compete with them.
They are a breed which requires careful management due to their territorial nature and possible aggression towards strangers. Akitas have attacked humans and other animals on several occasions over the years. This highlights the importance of responsible ownership and training.
