The Akita dog speaks of nobility without uttering a word. This is a breed whose dignity and attitude shows in their stance and the confident curl of their tail. They demand respect from those with whom they share their lives, and are famously loyal to those they love. If you are at all interested in this faithful yet demanding breed, I encourage you warmly to read on and learn. They have gotten into my heart and become a part of me more than I ever could have imagined, and I don't even have the honor of calling one mine yet.

Although I have been researching Akitas for just about four years now, I have been drawn irreversibly into their world. The friends I've made in the Akita world are friends I feel I will be able to count on for a very long time. They are a breed as special, as confident, and as outspoken as their Akitas. And as honest. I knew I wanted a special dog, and an unusual dog; one who would be affectionate, but also happy to be on his own. The more I learned about this breed, the more I realized no other breed would do. I was attracted to the Akita initially for its undeniable beauty, and as I read, more and more for its noble spirit and that undefinable quality that makes an Akita. This is a breed that demands great attention and consistent training to start early and continue through his life. He can be stubborn, independent, and aloof, but for all that, the tales I've heard of the love shared between this gallant breed and the people with whom they share their lives only make me more determined to own one. And hopefully more.
