Akita Inu
(Japanese Akita) (Akita Inu) (Great
Japanese Dog) (Akita-ken)Note: There are two types of Akitas, the original Japanese Akita breed and now a separate designation for
American standard Akita's.
The weights and sizes are different and the American standard allows
for a black mask where as the original Japanese breed standard does not
allow a black mask. According to the FCI , in Japan and in many other
countries around the world the American Akita is considered a separate
breed from the Akita Inu (Japanese Akita). In the United States and
Canada, both the American Akita and the Akita Inu are considered a
single breed with differences in type rather than two separate breeds.
