In my whole life… my Japanese Akita is the nicest person that I have ever known. He wakes me up every morning with his cold wet nose on the tip of mine followed by a giant lick across my face. Then he goes over to my wife’s side and repeats. I am a physician and my Akita is our clinic therapy “dog”. I cannot imagine any dog being so wanted, needed, appreciated as our Thor. Our Blessed Venerable Tibetan Rinpoche has stated repeatedly; “ Thor is not a dog!”. So, we love and treasure him just like our child. BTW he had saved the lives of three humans.
You should see mine. He is really fluffy. They were also used as fighting dogs. They were killed in WWII for their coats in jackets to keep warm. They were brought back from distinction. My Akita is not friendly at all to any dogs or people.
My Akita (American), Buddy, was a very handsome fawn with white stockings and a black mask and muzzle. HIs face was mostly expressionless. He was quiet, loyal, fierce, intelligent, and very strong and liked to hunt. I didn't have to teach him to hunt, he was naturally good at quietly stalking, using cover and concealment. He would actually bob and peek from behind a concealed position, a scary smart predator. He was very aloof, but always there. Not a cuddler, but he always wanted to be near. I never allowed him to attack anything, unfortunately, he managed to find and dispatch a possum and a crow while unsupervised. I have no idea how he caught a crow. He brought both carcasses to me. At his fittest adult weight he was 115 lbs. He had genetic problems, he came from a lousy breeder. If I didn't buy him they would have killed him. He died from an autoimmune disease at 7 years old. He suddenly began to bleed plasma through his skin and had multiple organ failure. I loved him, he was a great dog, but I won't go through that again with this breed. For full disclosure, I didn't know what I was doing with regard to purchasing a pedigree dog. He was a beautiful dog but at close inspection he had obvious issues. My vet was angry about the problems he had and advised me to return him, he knew it was a tragedy in the making. And the dog was AKC registered. I knew it would be a death sentence to return him so I kept him, I was already in love with him at first sight. There is not enough oversight in American breeding practices and there are too many unscrupulous breeders, breeders that are only in it for the money. It was a long time ago and I just wanted a pet dog. Since then, I've only rescued mutts and a tri color beagle.
Own a Japanese Akita, she is the perfect low energy protection & family dog. But it took a year before she learned to tolerate/befriend the other dogs in the house.
I have an American Akita that is a great protector and companion and good apartment dog. She is very chill and quiet in the house and only high energy when it’s cold and snowy outside. She is not cuddly but likes to be in the same room with me. She’s super smart and very entertaining with ways she tries to get what she wants. Very stubborn. She learns fast but then gets bored and stops listening😂🤦🏻♀️
@m z I've never owned a Japanese one... As a breed the Akita suits my personality but when people ask me about them I tell them to stay away if they're looking for a pet... My last one was so territorial he was wolf like
@m z such a strong willed breed... I do love them you get that cold love from them that no other breed can bring... I hope your boy is well.. I do really love the Akita as a breed... Stoic is the perfect word to describe them. Hope you and yours are doin well pal 🙏
@@stoicsavage509 So what dog would i have to be familiar with enough to own an akita? From what you’ve said, Ima stay my ass away lol. But I’ve been around pitbulls (owned different kinds) and been around likes of Rottweilers
So my wife has allergies and I want a dog that can protect...I haven't seen any videos specifically about hypoallergenic guard dogs besides schnauzers, could u consider doing a vid about options for people with allergies
Basically, dogs with curly or wiry hair like schnauzers and poodles, and hairless or low-hair breeds like hairless chihuahuas, Chinese crested, and the xoloitzcuintli are the best hypoallergenic dogs.
Because the different lines (hunting line, fighting line, guarding line) of akita were bred together after world war 2 in order to save the breed from extinction. The devastation of Japan led to many dogs being culled, and the various breeds underwent changes due to changes in breeding lines.
That's not true. If you actually listen to what the breeder states in the first minute, that's not his goal. He recognises it as a dog capable of hunting and protection
Why "japanese Akita Inu"? Akita inu should be enough because the "Inu" implies that it's the Japanese breed . This is why almost everyone is calling this breed Akita inu Japanese Akita inu is like saying Akita inu dog
If you're not gonna breed it to be exactly what they were bred to be then why even breed then? Don't water down the breed just cause it isn't necessary
He states multiple time it's capacity as a guard dog and the necessity for socialisation, unless you want a dangerous uncontrolled dog through poor leadership
@@JebediahThePaladin few people I see work their Akitas in PP or guard work. They just hope that instincts kick in despite very few breeders utilizing them as intended
Needs to be more working line dog breeders man. What is a dog without it's intended breed purpose? There's breeds for just looks bred for just looks idk call me hater but working dogs click with me😂🤷🏿♂️

I have never seen one with the fluffy hair that the brindle has. Beautiful breed, would love to have one.

Japanese Akita are a very loyal dog breed.
Including intelligent.
FACTS 👌 I've had Kimpachi for almost 11 years

Bro that shimofuri Akita is gorgeous!! Literally Gin from Ginga Nagareboshi Gin in the flesh!!

I wish he would’ve compared the temperament/personality of the American v Japanese Akita
Ive had 3 American Akitas and I can tell you from experience they are absolute bastards 😬
@m z I've never owned a Japanese one... As a breed the Akita suits my personality but when people ask me about them I tell them to stay away if they're looking for a pet... My last one was so territorial he was wolf like

@m z thanks! I sort of thought that but wanted an opinion from someone familiar with both
@@stoicsavage509 So what dog would i have to be familiar with enough to own an akita? From what you’ve said, Ima stay my ass away lol. But I’ve been around pitbulls (owned different kinds) and been around likes of Rottweilers
apart from said norms and said temper, the japan dog remains one of the most beautiful 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Such beautiful pooches...
I like the American Akita and the Japanese Akita
I use a kick scooter for walks with my Akio. His natural stride is like race walking for me
Beautiful Dogs & I heard that story also!
That grey brindle? Akita is soo pretty.
nice looking animal. Don't find the overly aggressive which is a good thing in Suburbia
Take a hit every time he says "typically"
it’s took my akita inu 1 year before he started barking
People are the scariest thing out there. That's the 1st thing I want scared away. All 🐻 welcome ;)
Are Akitas easy to house break?
Yes. They're very clean and are large, meaning bigger bladder + better control
Hello, good video and can u do BANDOG
My dog
So my wife has allergies and I want a dog that can protect...I haven't seen any videos specifically about hypoallergenic guard dogs besides schnauzers, could u consider doing a vid about options for people with allergies
In his top guard dog video he included a giant schnauzer, they are hypoallergenic!
Basically, dogs with curly or wiry hair like schnauzers and poodles, and hairless or low-hair breeds like hairless chihuahuas, Chinese crested, and the xoloitzcuintli are the best hypoallergenic dogs.
How come the real hachiko photo looks different than the now Japanese Akita inu
Because the different lines (hunting line, fighting line, guarding line) of akita were bred together after world war 2 in order to save the breed from extinction. The devastation of Japan led to many dogs being culled, and the various breeds underwent changes due to changes in breeding lines.
Are there any test for this disease?
Where is the video about the “American” Akita? I only see Akita Inu
❤️❤️❤️
He basically breeds for looks and not the working abilities of the dogs, that are working dogs!✅
That's not true. If you actually listen to what the breeder states in the first minute, that's not his goal. He recognises it as a dog capable of hunting and protection
Working dog top choice: GSD or Australia cattle dog
House guard, best friend, loyal, plus can beat the pitbull just for lunch, top choice: Akita
The American pitbull terrier should be for the US what the Akita Inu is for Japan
Hail "Dalmationz" $ "AKITAZ" ;0)~ xoxoxo Thomases Promises in the Redlands Akita's and Dalmations.
Japanese alita is more authentic. American akita is is mixed with tosa.
Why "japanese Akita Inu"? Akita inu should be enough because the "Inu" implies that it's the Japanese breed . This is why almost everyone is calling this breed Akita inu
Japanese Akita inu is like saying Akita inu dog
I don't know, but I call it the same as you :-)
Akita Inu or American Akita.
The Inu implies ancestry!
If you're not gonna breed it to be exactly what they were bred to be then why even breed then?
Don't water down the breed just cause it isn't necessary
Because money. A real shame for sure and the down slide of a lot of breeds
I agree. Does anyone even work their Akita anymore.
@@oceaser6977 the only major work the breed gets as far as I'm aware is personal protection and guard work
He states multiple time it's capacity as a guard dog and the necessity for socialisation, unless you want a dangerous uncontrolled dog through poor leadership
@@JebediahThePaladin few people I see work their Akitas in PP or guard work.
They just hope that instincts kick in despite very few breeders utilizing them as intended

Needs to be more working line dog breeders man. What is a dog without it's intended breed purpose? There's breeds for just looks bred for just looks idk call me hater but working dogs click with me😂🤷🏿♂️
The opportunity to chase bears and wild boars with dogs is pretty limited, and most owners aren't up to the physical end of that, anyhow.
It's about seeing dogs as a family member or a slave for your benefit. Yes you are a hater.
american akita was bred for looks. Massive unhealthy and sometimes very obesse.
