ALL ABOUT JAPANESE AKITA INU (PART ONE)

This is my absolute favorite breed of dog. They are very loving and loyal to a fault. This breed is very intelligent e.g. problem solving intelligence. They are not for disengaged owners. I love this breed so much and there is not a day that goes by when I don’t miss my beloved Sakura. Thank you for this episode.

Favorite breed of dog is the Akita, I grew up with a Japanese American Akita mix and an American Akita. Very loyal, very protective, only barks when needed, playful “in private” while bold and confident and watching everything while out in public. If you train them early you’ll have one of the best dog experiences throughout their lifetime.

I always love hearing about Akita Inus. As cheesy as at is, I fell for the breed after watching a dog anime. The silver brindle in this actually looks like the main character.

A big thing to remember about the breed is that it's not for everyone. Their gorgeous Teddy Bear looks can be deceiving. They are still big powerful dogs that need an engaged and responsible owner to properly socialize, train and control while out in public. They can be wary of strangers, but do love to socialize with people after scrutinizing and forming their own judgment about you. My boy loves to go hang out at the brewpub and have his chosen people (especially the ladies) fawn all over him, take pictures, and generally boost his ego. Dog parks can be especially difficult because some (especially males) can be dog-aggressive; and off-leash experiences need to be closely monitored because they are strong-willed, fast to act and super aware of everything going on in their environment. You never really "own" a Japanese Akitainu, if you're lucky, they will allow you to serve them and in return they'll provide you with undying devotion and companionship like no other breed I've ever experienced.

We saw our first Japanese Akita with its characteristic red (yellow/orange) colour in our neighbourhood a few months ago. What a majestic dog breed it is!

I waited so long for this video. Akita inu are my favorite breed. Great video

Loved watching this video. I hope you will also do the other Japanese breeds!

Had Akitas for 41yrs. With children and grandchild s and cats.. no problem. And a show dog. Elegant and loving

A gift from Japan to the world! They are angels✨️

I had one that grew to be about 110lbs. Smart, protective, and loyal beyond words. When I was young, he would sleep on the floor in my room and wouldn't go to sleep until i did. Rip Thor.

Hachiiiii 😍😍😍😍😍. I love this dogumentary. Thanks for doing it. I love the Akita Inu! 💜💜💜💜

I love when you post videos like this ya heard, people who know the history of the breed, that was official no doubt 👊😎🍺

Excellent Zeke! Very knowledged and thorough in regards to the history of these 2 sister breeds. We recently obtained a Labrakita (Sire, Labrador Retriever cross American Akita)/ Shepweiler (Dam, German Shepherd cross Rottweiler (we're pretty sure). 1 noticeable trait is his aversion to new people. Once he knows they're cool, it's all good. But before that he's suspicious of anyone.

this is the Hachiko dog, really loved that movie…. great dog breed..

Great vids. Pls make dogumentary for shiba inu. Because they are cool.

This my first time ever seeing a Japanese Akita wonderful dog breed my dad had 5 American Akitas they where the most loyal dog breed ever but he always had to clean up dead possums in the yard lol.

Anyone who knows Hachiko from pictures will immediately recognize that he does not look like Akita Inu‘s of today. He looks more like a smaller American Akita. While the modern Akita Inu is much more Spitz like. Hugely interesting.

Beautiful breed!

yesss one of my favs

Rare to hear an Akita enthusiast say the breed was used for fighting. They were, but your average AKC breeder will swear “it hunted bears! See it even looks like a bear! Please believe me!”
