FAQs

Can Japanese Akita Inu be good family dogs?

Japanese Akita Inu can be good family dogs due to their loyalty and affection towards family members, including children. However, they are large, strong, and dominant dogs that require experienced owners for proper training and socialisation. They tend to be territorial and aloof with strangers and may show aggression towards other dogs, so careful management is essential, especially in multi-pet households.

Can you own an Akita in the UK?

Yes, you can own an Akita in the UK. It is advisable to purchase from a reputable breeder who meets Kennel Club Assured breeder standards to ensure health and ethical breeding. Adoption from rescue centres is also an option. Owning an Akita requires commitment to their ongoing care, which can average at least £105 per month, covering food, vaccinations, neutering, grooming, and more.

What is the difference between Japanese Akita and Akita Inu?

The terms Japanese Akita and Akita Inu often refer to the same breed, with 'Akita Inu' meaning 'Akita dog' in Japanese. The distinction is commonly made in Western countries to differentiate the traditional Japanese Akita Inu, which has a reserved temperament and finer features, from the American Akita—a larger and more robust variation developed in the US. The Japanese Akita Inu is considered a national monument of Japan.

Why is an Akita so expensive?

Akitas are expensive due to their rarity and strict pure breeding standards, especially for the Japanese Akita Inu. Breeding costs include extensive health tests and responsible care. Additionally, the lifetime costs of feeding, healthcare, grooming, and training add to the expense, and because they require experienced owners, demand is more limited, raising their value.
