The Akita (秋田犬, Akita-inu, Japanese pronunciation: [akʲita.inɯ]) is a historic dog breed of large size originating from the mountains of northern Japan. The two separate varieties of Akita are a pure Japanese strain, commonly called Akita Inu (inu meaning dog in Japanese), and a mixed American strain, commonly larger.[2] The Akita has a short double coat similar to that of many other northern spitz breeds.
