Akita

The Akita is a Japanese breed of dog known for its dignity, courage, and loyalty. In their native land, they’re venerated as family protectors and symbols of good health, happiness, and long life. They are burly, heavy-boned spitz-type dogs of imposing stature standing 24 to 28 inches at the shoulder with a dense coat that comes in several colors including white. The head is broad and massive balanced in the rear by a full curled over tail. They have erect ears and dark shining eyes that contribute to an expression of alertness; a hallmark of the breed. Akitas are quiet fastidious dogs wary of strangers and intolerant of other animals but well socialized from birth with people and other dogs
