Brave,
bold and fiercely loyal the Japanese Akita is a great companion for
experienced dog owners. With a little patience and a lot of training an
Akita can be a valuable addition to your family, happily participating in
your day to day activities right by your side.
The
Akita is a working dog that can weigh anywhere between 70 to 130
pounds. Declared a national treasure in Japan the Akita dog is famous
around the world thanks to one canine named Hachiko.
Hachiko
was an Akita who greeted his master every day at the train station
after work. One day Hachiko’s master passed away while on the job and
his loyal dog waited for him relentlessly. He continued to return to
that spot and wait for his master every day until poor Hachiko died on
March 8, 1935.
