Great Japanese Dog Breed Description The American Akita is a dog breed from Japan. Note that in 2006 the FCI-designation Great Japanese Dog was officially changed to American Akita. Akitas are most striking and impressive creatures with an attitude of nobility and an appearance of strength and power. Their most noticeable physical characteristic is a large, bear-like head with erect, triangular ears set at a slight angle following the arch of the neck. The Akita today is a unique combination of dignity, courage, alertness, and devotion to its family. It is extraordinarily affectionate and loyal with family and friends, territorial about its property, and aloof with strangers. It is feline in its actions; it is not unusual for an Akita to clean its face after eating, to preen its kennel mate, and to be fastidious in the house. [Much more on this breed can be learned at the wonderful Wikipedia.]
