That napping cat on Hachiko's statue :)
If you want get a Akita just remember. First you wille be disappointed, becouse Akitas are stubborn like cats, they can ignore you. But after that you will discover special bond betwen Akita and you. I grew up with dogs, sometimes we had 2-3 dogs in my family home. I allways have contact with dogs in my childhood, but that what is connecting me with my akita is somethig different its hard to describe that. Its special bond betwen me and my akita.
Basically, large Shiba Inus
@@sca2511 larger, more stubborn, can be aggressive, and way more protective
I now have my second Akita, this time a female dog who is eight years old now. I was never disappointed with her or the male dog I had before her. I must admit that this dog is much easier to handle, can walk of leach and is not agressive towards other dogs like the male dog I owned before, besides some she dislikes, as these dogs dislike her as well. Socializing is very important to this breed.
Makes sense, im actually a cat person but for some reason im attracted to this dog lol
So what would you say are differences between the akita and the shiba
I love my Akita. We named him Hiro. He's currently seven months old. Akita's can be very stubborn in the beginning, but little by little you'll see how well they learn and how smart they are. They are also very protective of those they consider their family.
I just picked up my Japanese Akita puppy and she is the sweetest thing ever! So calm gentle and affectionate. She also does well with my current Shiba Inu but he's still adjusting. Can't wait to watch her grow and become fully integrated into the family!
GacktSe7en My SHIBA puppy turned 1 on August 6, 2018. The day before we had a b-day party for him with all my relatives lol! 😂
Yes it was MY idea
Cute! I am a 4 years old akita,Hachi. 🐾🐕
I'm so proud of your dog.
@@hachischannel5272 is it from the name hachika
@@hachischannel5272 how long should i train an akita a day because im getting one
I have an Akita and am glad they finally get some recognition
Yup me too
im getting an akita in a week im so happy
They were always recognized by many people, even in Japan cuz it's one of the most famous dog breeds in Japan.
@@wawawiwa___ im getting one tomorrow :) how is yours doing..male/female how much does he/she way etc etc?
Akitas are just such amazing dogs
0:16 the cat absolute mad lad
He be like : Yo I’m sleeping with ma grandpa’s friends statue ya’ll.
i want to adopt it
I have a very well bred 8 year old Japanese Akita Inu whose parents came from a well known breeder in Japan. I got her as a 3 month old puppy. Unfortunately, she developed Sebaceous Adenitis which is increasingly showing up in this breed. She is one of the best dogs I've ever had...intelligent, affectionate, intuitive, never has destroyed anything. But, this is a very high maintenance, shedding, somewhat fragile dog. Get pet insurance. She has a labrador companion and is never alone. She also gets at least two long walks a day which is why she is so calm inside. Research and being honest about your ability to give this breed what it needs is paramount!
My Japanese Akita, she’s protective toward family members, territorial and loyal dog she also can be stubborn.
Yes indeed. Queen Lisa R's Akita is basically your aforementioned description and Shadow IS Not Dog Park Qualified and or appropriate.
Why do everyone says the same ?
Best dogs in my opinion, I currently have two and would love to have more! Highly recommended these dogs, you'll never have a bond with any animal like you will with an akita.
Do they like playing with their owner?
@@konstantinosxatzigiannhs3749 non stop, mine are always ready to play however they are also. Great dogs because if you feel like just relaxing they will be perfectly happy laying there cuddling you as well!
How long do you leave him alone at home ??
Can i ask a question? Im planning on gettinf an Akita inu (2 months old) are they active? Like if i take them outside 3-4 times a day to play catch or just run with them will they get lazy?? And also after like 2-3 years of being with u and being loyal to u can u go out for a walk without a leash and will they follow u?
Mary Hagopian
They need 1 walk a day for about a hour
We have a wonderful Akita Family member. Please remember that a correct wholesome diet is extremely important to their health and longevity. Giving them toxic rubbish snacks such as crisps, potato chips etc. will give them all sorts of health problems.
DrMARDOC my dog won’t eat any snacks he only eats his food I feed him mostly on a raw diet. You can leave any food at all near him he won’t touch it he’s very fussy indeed
@alex. I’m a Doctor and I have Japanese Doctor and Veterinary friends in Tokyo. I’ll tell you the deepest secrets Japanese are usually too embarrassed to say out loud. #1. Every day, many times gently hold your Akita and gently look at their eyes and tell them out loud; “ I love you! I promise to love you forever and ever. I will never ever leave you. I will give you a Happy life!” Akita are super smart and psychic. They can read your mind! The other most important thing is don’t leave them alone. Make them part of your indoor life too. Let them sleep with you and your kinds. Guaranteed 100% everybody will sleep deeper and happier! Next, bring them to work with you! Yes. My Handsome Boy comes with us to our clinic everyday. Patients love him! He greets them and hugs them, and the patients just melt! He is the ultimate therapy dog
DrMARDOC aww that’s beautiful I’m with my dog all the time he sleeps with us too he’s my best friend but he is also very protective towards me and my home
I agree but most Rich ppl hv no time to look after their pets. If we love n involve them in our daily activities ...they wouldxact like Hachiko😍
Dogs are not psychic.
FBI pfft you’re just telling us that cause it’s true.... freaking fbi think they can pull the wool over our eyes
I got my boy from a rescue centre he was 4 yrs old. I couldnt agree more with what you say. I suffer with mental health issues and he has been a total saviour. I must have an exception to the breed because he has never shown any aggression what so ever in the 5 yrs hes been with me. He doesnt leaave my side while im in a depressive episode but when im good he does his own thing. He has a strong love for cats and when im at a friends house who has 6 cats I have never needed to worry about how he will respond to them. He is happy to cuddle them and lick them clean. Hhe is ever so gentle around children and is often the first to be by their side when they take a tumble with a whine and a lick as if to say 'dont worry I'm here to help'. I also have a Schipperke and he is so protective of her in a silent and non aggressive way it's almost unbelievable without seeing him in action. I just wish I had found him earlier in his life because he would of made a great pat dog.
I would say that while they're super cute, intelligent and calm, they can also be unruly and stubborn, because of that they're not really a "first timer" pet, especially if no adults are gonna supervise the education and training of the dog. I can actually speak from experience in my family, my brother in law adopted a beautiful female Akita, she was lovable and sweet as any dog can be but grew way too protective of my sister, wary of strangers and finally aggressive to anyone that could pose to her as a danger to her family and territory... in fear that she could eventually harm the other dogs on the house or the young children she was sent to the countryside, my sister cried buckets but Yukiko, as was her name, needed a proper education and a proper trainer.
Akitas need a dominant owner.. "nice" / "passive" people who are pushovers when it comes to discipline will be seen as subordinates that need to be protected / controlled. It's easily one of the hardest breeds to train and they usually have very dominant characteristics. God help the person who gets an alpha male Akita.
I owned a alpha male Akita before. I don't consider myself to be a very dominant person, but I never had any issues with my dog nor with people visiting me. Strange dogs were a different matter sometimes I have to admit. Every dog needs to be trained by consistent owners. Tiny cute looking dogs like the Maltezer or chihuahua can become little terrorists in your household because their owners underestimate their character and let them get away with dominant behaviour you would never accept from a large breed. @@retiredshitposter1062
@@tossanavandenbroeke8396 I agree. All matter of upbringing and socialization.
I own a puppy since week 8, he is now 12 weeks. I socialize him a lot, handfeed some foods and never shown any food agression so far. They are stuboorn and bark back when they don't want to comply but tou have to be firm with them. You can't be lazy on discipline with an akita.
Joe when they’re about 10 months or a year, that is the toughest period, when they’re in puberty, they will test you but you must stay firm and consistent. Once that passes and they’re mature , they are the best dogs ever. Wouldn’t want any other breed. Akita is my first dog but as they say “once an akita, always an akita” :-)
Akitas are loyal, affective, protective of their family, extremely funny and intelligent dogs. They can sometimes be somewhat stubborn and have a very strong mind of their own, strong personality but are lovely wonderful dogs, easy to love and make you laugh. My akita is now 1 year old and I must say it has been a wonderful experience to see it grow and be around him. My biggest best friend, a very loyal one!
We just adopted a 1 year old Akita Inu from the shelter and he is very very goofy. We are picking him up tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous about how he will do since he's been an "outside dog" for his whole life. I feel like we're dealing with a very very very big puppy. Any advice would be great!
I hope it's going well for you and the dog I've owned Akitas for many years now
You shouldn't have much problems just make sure if you have another dog it's opposite sex they do have same sex aggression if you're on Facebook join Akita world they will help answer any questions you may have.
Your Akita will slow down at about 3 years old and be very mellow most times.
Akitas are clean and housebreaking is very easy they don't like to go in the house they think it's disgusting lol 😂
Michael Weber omg that’s why my dog loves being out in the garden so much even in the rain!!! 😂😂
Hey, just thought I would update you guys on how (Koda) is doing. He had a few accidents in the beginning but I think that was on my part, I didn't realize he needed to go. Our other dog goes to the door when he needs it. Koda has been getting along great with our other dog. They are very attached and play a lot. Koda is also very patient with our toddler and protective of her when we have friends come over (not aggressive but stays between my daughter and anyone he doesnt know. We learned that we are Koda's 3rd family but he's really made a lot of progress and we're excited to have him with us. Thank you for this information, I will be joining the page!
@@eggwife6425 ty for updating!
Thank you for this update and I hope things are still going well.The first male Akita I owned was very patient with young children as well and got along great with the male terrier my father owned and protected this dog when it was attacked by another dog. @@eggwife6425
So much truth in this video! 👍
It is difficult to describe the full nature of the akita. The nature of the Akita is largely formed from the stimuli that the Akita experiences, all it starts with the breeder and continues with the owner.
Did anyone else get introduced to this breed through the 80s anime Silver Fang/Ginga Nagareboshi Gin?
Yes!!! That’s how I fell in love with Akitas lol
I grew up with Akitas my whole life. They are amazing and loyal and fluffy loving dogs. If you ever have an Akita you are very privileged to find a fuzzy family member for the rest of their life.
Descending from regional hunting dogs, the Japanese Akitainu was initially restored and preserved by dedicated breeders in the Akitainu Hozonkai (Akita Dog Preservation Society; AKIHO). The breed is known for its striking appearance and its physical and mental agility.
We have the American Akita and what a Princess she is, worst is she knows it. A very loyal and protective friend,boisterous when she wants just trying to be the alpha. Does need exercise and lots of grooming but not washing as this damages her inner protection. Love them and they will love u 100 times more.
tbh most of the people know only of Shiba Inus not Akitas.
We have One in our family, we are really happy, it was A long jorney, we were thinking(me and my wife) for about two years, and at last we have a new member of our family - Brukne. We are learning together, because these dogs are really clever, loyal and fore sure stuborn. It is second month, so we are very fresh owners
I was wandering in how difficult it is to get a Japanese akita in America because I really love the Japanese akitas color and personality
mr.spoon full of apples good luck finding one
3:22 is a meme moment, oh god.
Here's some disclaimer: like Shiba, Akita are very stubborn and sometimes ignore your command and is not mend for beginners.
Such a gorgeous dog! 😍😍🐕 🐕
When i see hachi's picture, my heart aches for him.
I had a Japanese Akita Inu for 14 years, she was never friendly lol even with people she grew up with like my childhood friends.
more than month ago I bought this dog. Now she's 4 months old. I really love her:) Oh btw her name is Daiya🐕
A slicker brush may be used during grooming sessions during normal times. However, the Japanese Akitainu blows its undercoat twice a year. Profusely. So expect tufts of hair everywhere during that time. A bath, followed by cold forced air dryer and a comb out will help expedite the natural process of blowing coat. Nails should be kept trimmed using clippers or a nail grinder. Regular teeth brushing and maintaining ear cleanliness are essential not just for appearance but for health. To maintain healthy and luxurious coats, gentle brushing every few days is recommended (depending on activities); for long coats, more frequent brushing will help to avoid matting.
2:08 emptying their anal glands?
Is there some sort of disease preventing the dog breed from pooping correctly?
no i just think he’s saying relieving themselves or peeing in a fancy way
Anal glands has nothing to do with pooping, and it's not a roundabout way of saying something else.
There are anal glands and they sometimes need to be emptied.
They are the most stubborn dogs 🥺🥺
They seem to have some character traits that are similar to shar pei. Both great breeds if you put the work in.
I’ve owned a Shar Pei - Border Collie mix! He was great.. He died 2 months ago, he was 13.
Lian Derey sorry for your loss 😢
"Matagi" means hunter, their main role has always been bear hunting dog, not a fighting dog.
OMG! I have a japanese white Akita Inu since 2016! His name is Senshin (it means "stage 5" or "advanced") and his birthday is October 22nd, 2016 :)
Beautiful dog.
Akita Inu to the moon
Just accepted into AKC FSS!
Beautiful dog's.
I got an american akita, surprised by the differences between the two variations. My dogs very muscular and weighs 90 pounds being only 2 years old! Gotta say the Japanese variation looks a lot cuter and fluffier.
Mind blown!!!!!!! I didn’t know their was an Akita Inu. I thought their were only Shiba Inu’s.

If anyone has an Akita or has had one could someone tell me info that I need to know to take care of an akita. Me and my family are currently thinking about getting an Akita and we would love to get some advice on how to properly take care of it so He/she can feel calm and comfortable in our house.
Thank you in advance!
Boi If you Dont Shut da f up be prepared for the akita’s fur....shits gonna go everywhere
playboihachi aight, that’s info I will keep in mind. Thanks!
They need positive motivation. They don't train like other dogs, the hate drill and won't cooperate. Get this book, that has everything in it, all the care, upbringing, training etc www.amazon.com/Akita-Comprehensive-Owners-Barbara-Andrews/dp/1593782985
I have a pure bred red brindle Akita inu. Silver and red brindle akitas are somewhat rare
But this breed is so Amazing, so Greetings to everyone=)
getting a Akita for my son
Akitas are basically samurais in dog form.
I just wached hachi today! Its so sad…
I heav one akita inu
Basically Akita Inu’s are just bigger Shiba inu’s
They look nicer than shiba's imo
They have thick fur right, and are from the cold northern part of Japan. So, not a good idea for warm climates.
Best video for akita so far
I have an Akita inu and he is a year and a few months old. He’s not very friendly to visitors and other dogs. How can I train him to be better??
I'm looking for the same thing
Invest time fir your pets, ask a trainer to educate n walk your own dogs. Most rich ppl in Indonesia never look after their pets but ask assistant to bring up their pets.
Iarshinta sudjana our family takes care of him, we play with him and walk him everyday he is very well behaved around family. Just around visitors he starts to bark
Irene AvOcAdO Start introducing him to many types of people. Old, young, maybe even random passer-buyers as you walk your dog daily. Keep a close eye on your dog's body language. Your dog may not speak but it’s body can be easily read as long as long as you are attentive to it when it is interacting with others. Try clicker training your dog and reward him for his good behavior. If he’s not behaving right, don’t scold him but quickly take him out of the interaction as continuing to let him misbehave will only let him think that it is okay.
XLADEDAX thank you so much, I will definitely try that out, we scold him when he does something wrong maybe that’s something we should change. Again, thanks for the reply!
I have akita inu puppy i hope i can soon get another one soo i can have big family
Thanks for sharing it seems my puppy is Akita waiting for the DNA result 🙏
Let us know about the results!
@@AnimalWised I will can’t wait . Thanks 🙏
The forst seconds is a Akita.
And the owner is a russian UA-camr HiMan. The name of this Akita is Luna ❤
Hi can someone answer this for me.
Can i leave my akita outside or does it have to be inside. I want it to be an outside dog.
I will give it alot of attention no matter what but a little nurvous about keeping it outside
as long as there is a shelter, access to water, and fed twice a day, ant dog can be an outside dog. personally my dogs are family to me and for that reason aloud to be inside. with me. Most dogs prefer being close to there people.
@@ericjustad1364 wow thanks bro!
3:23 what a derpy face!
So is this breed different than the shiba inu?
Yes
Thank you. I’ll have to do more research on this beautiful breed💜
Bigger, stronger, much higher proclivity for aggression, more acute guarding instincts. It's a super charged Shiba in every way.
Akita Inu doesn't require regular baths. That's a load of crap. They clean themselves and don't smell. My akita only had a bath twice in 8 years and that was only because she had been rolling in something nasty.
Akita inu Fans like
I have a 10 month shiba
I fostered 2 Akita's they were very calm doggies but I think thats because they were 6 years old?
Are you going to review the Shiba Inu as well? 😕
In order to be partner with Akitainu, you should be the boss. Proper education, which means teaching him who is at the higher hierarchy is very important,
like wolf clan.
If education fails, it would be danger for your family, but once succeeds, it will show its loyalty to you and your family.
Be careful of their bite, it crushes beef bone easily. They're powerful enough to pull away kid.
It’s “akita ken” not “akita inu” btw. Its a different way to read the kanji “inu” to describe particular breeds in Japan.
Can an Akita Ken be named Ken for fun?
You're wrong on this. The kanji is read as Inu and not the conjugate -ken. ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A7%8B%E7%94%B0%E7%8A%AC
I WISHD ID HAD 3 AKTIAS
My parents had an Akita and Siberian Husky...don't know how they did it haha
He my world jason
if had this kind of pet i would definitly name it WANPO
Any meaning?
How to upgrade your shiba inu to an akita inu?
So sweet *_*
3:19 is it just me but do akita inus look like foxes with their tail uncurled?
RIP To all those who got the fake Akita the American Akita which is a German shepherd English mastiff mix ahahahaha
Beautiful looking dogs but the one that lives in our town is as vicious as hell, wouldn't trust it, don't know if it is the breed or the owner.
I have owned a Shiba inu for 10 years. He's my best friend my wife and I separated and she owns him now(sad). Both dogs are strong willed. I am sure an japanse inu is like my Kobe only bigger. I really want this akita but they are expensive time will tell .If you want a big dog in a small dog body go with a Shiba.
Akitas are just shibas xl edition
Hanako from Inuyashiki😀🐾
do the owner not know how to use a dog leash
My Akita is very active he tears up my fence and gets out my yard does anyone else have this issue he also hates my cat and sons dog and has been around both since we bought him from the store he was 4 months old when we got him
@@jakejeakings7413 it doesn’t make me a irresponsible owner and for you to even type that comment shows how ignorant you are to behavior studies and you must not know about the Japanese Akita breed because he is not human aggressive at all but he is little animal aggressive however do you own one ? Because if you don’t I don’t even know why you replied also you didn’t even reply to the comment so it’s obvious you typed for attention LMAO he said me a Force Recon Marine with combat tours is irresponsible you’re funny Ma’am

My akita is crazy and all he does is bark at everything now and he's just getting worse I don't know how to control it.
How old is he? My akita used to bark at every car and every person who went past my house but he stopped when he hit 7 months; he started to mature and also got used to hearing loud noises. It takes time but make sure you reassure them and NEVER tell them off for barking - that is their job, they are doing the only thing they know which is guarding and protecting you! They are just learning what is and isn't dangerous and you have to be extremely patient and say, "it's ok" for 7-8-9 months maybe, until they learn.
These dogs act more like pre teens than dogs
Akita or shibe?
Why not both?
@@etienne2805 Budget. If i had a way to adopt both, i would.
@@nazywajmniev Japanese Akitas are EXPENSIVEe but are more family friendly than Shibas. Shibas are cats in dogs' bodies.

"Akita-Ken" , "Shiba-Ken" , Only non-Japanese use "Inu" in the titles.
This site does not realy know the breed.

I wanted a dog to take out and play with, to let of lead on the beach, play catch, My local dogs trust, uk, only showed me an 8 month old Akita bitch, I was a first time owner, I knew very little about dogs, She was gourgages If I had know I would not have taken her on, Their own web site says, should not be given to 1st time owners, . If you take on an Akita , unless you are able to train them from a very young age , you will always walk them on your own. Mine is great with people, children, but not with other dogs, She will defend aggressively against off lead attacking small yappy things, but she never attacks. After a year + she is the best, she is 2 years in 10 days, Just a thought ,
Big doge
