Happy International Akita Day!
A day to honour the breed as a whole as well we remember Hachiko, a famous Akita who passed on March 8, 1935. Hachiko is remembered for his loyalty, as he would wait for his owner at the train station every day.
Although they are typically seen as not very good with other dogs, Akita's are known to do quite well in the family affection, loyalty and courage sectors of life. They have a double coat so they do require regular grooming, but on the plus side there shouldn't be much drool in your life with one of them around!
