The Akita originates from Japan, where the breed was apparently developed by a Samurai. This breed has over three hundred years of history, having been developed around the mid 1600s. The breed is now known as a national monument and a national treasure in Japan. The Akita was registered with the American Kennel Club in 1972.
This site is dedicated to my dogs, Ms. Chester and Ms. Chloe, who are very much interested in making sure their friends are well informed.
