We own an Akita Male, he is 2 1/2 years old, and very laid back. This breed is very very loyal to it's owners, and very protective. Just lately, we have had friends over and our male friend was playing with our Akita, when after about 15 minutes he decided to attack him and left him with serious bites. Do not under estimate this breed, they will turn on you at any time, even though you might think they are very passive and social. It doesn't matter how much you train them, this is their tempermant. Our breeder who sold us ours, didn't tell us the most of the bad sides of this breed, and only wanted the check and get us out the door. So because of this incident, we have decided to put him down. So when choosing a family pet, please be careful when choosing this breed.

We have had our Akita for 6 years now and we now need to find her a good home with no other pets. She has been wonderful with family members and any human she comes in contact with. She is very calm and mellow. I knew this breed could be agressive but I always thought if she were raised right and around other animals she would be fine. When she turned 3 she started to go after other dogs. There was NO warning, she did not even act as if she noticed the other dog just one swift movement and the ...- Read Guest's review (272 words)

I have just got myself a Japanese akita with my boyfriend. I begged him not to get her as I read up on them on the internet but my boyfriend decided to go against me and get her anyway. I have now had her for a month and she is the most adorable dog I have ever had, She is caring and has been very easy to train already, I had her sitting, giving me her paw and lying down in about 30 minutes. She is brilliant around kids she gets very excited when the kids in my local area come to see her or even ...- Read laurensarah's review (252 words)

I have read that Akita's can be high energy, food possessive, aggressive dogs. Well, obviously no one ever bothered to tell my Akita (Female) that! She has to be the most laid back dog I've ever owned, and I have had experience of numerous breeds. I've taken her to ringcraft to ensure she was well socialised, and ironically, the owners of an extremely lively Newfoundland were surprised to see how laid back she was. Aren't Akita's meant to be high energy dogs? I think they are meant to be goo ...- Read Dog Scouts's review (475 words and 1 comment)

I agree. Akita's need careful handling, but this applies to all dogs - they are animals after all, and owners should be aware of their capabilities. Having said this, I have had my Akita for nine years. He is a big, strong handsome boy. I've had no problems with him around children or other dogs in general. He lives alongside a Rottweiler, Staff/Lurcher, and a German Shepherd. He is the alpha male, and he has clashed with the Staff/Lurcher when the Rottweiler has been in season. At all other tim ...- Read Boycie's review (214 words)

These are large, impressive dogs that require a lot of exercise! The Japanese Akita were used as fighting dogs, and the American Akita, who is much larger and 'bear-like' than the Japanese Akita arrived by breeding the original Japanese Akita with a lot of large guard dogs in the USA.
Therefore, the Akita is in general an aggressive breed, but with the right upbringing, can become a well loved and loyal member of the family.
It is VITAL that you seek out a responsible, kennel club regi ...- Read Topaz's review (374 words)
