5 New Akita Puppies for sale in Pudsey, West Yorkshire

The two separate varieties of Akita are a pure Japanese strain, called Akita Inu or Akita-ken, and a larger mixed strain, commonly referred to as the American Akita. The Akita is known for being an intelligent, bright, yet reserved and possessive dog. However, they should not be fearful or aggressive, but an Akita should be dignified, courageous and affectionate. He defends his family without hesitation, which in short means that he is an excellent guard dog. Today, the Akita has become a popular dog breed in the UK and elsewhere in the world, and for good reason, because when well socialised, he makes a wonderful companion and family dog. The breed originated in Japan, where it has always been highly regarded not only for its dignified, proud appearance, but also for its loyalty and devotion to its owners.

Hi Not a happy post to be having to write but unfortunately I’ve had to come to the decision as a family to rehome our boy. Absolutely no fault to him but he and my older dog just don’t get along. He will not back down to the older dog which is resulting in confrontation and it’s not nice to see. I think max would be more settled in a house with no other dogs. We have had
