About the Akita or Akita Inu The Akita or Akita Inu is a breed of large Japanese dog, named for Akita Prefecture, where it is thought to have originated. "Inu" means "dog" in Japanese, although in practice this animal is nearly always referred as "Akita-ken," Akitas dogs come in three colours: white, brindle, and red and white (called red). In the U.S., however, some breeders still mix the original Japanese type with the heavier American type, which is larger, shorter in fur, and allows more colors. This is not the same Akita as the Japanese Akita. In fact, these two types are nowadays different breeds. The original Akita Inu is now simply called Akita, the American type is called American Akita or Great Japanese Dog (GJD). The Akita's ancestors were dogs used by matagi for hunting. A DNA analysis finds that the Akita is one of the most primitive breeds of dog. The Akita is also known for his fierce loyalty. Some of the health problems you can find in Akitas are Canine herpesvirus, gastric dilatation volvulus, a sort of bloat, and a few others. You can find healt problems to look for in any area of Akita information. Advertise your site or business here.. Akita Websites We've found the most useful websites regarding Akita.
