The Akita is the largest of seven native Japanese dog breeds. The modern akita is actually a recreation of that breed, restored using a combination of many breeds. The original akitas were used for big game hunting and for guarding.
In 1932, Hachiko gained fame for the breed as the faithful dog that waited for his master at the train station every day for the rest of his life, unaware that the man had died at work.
In 1937, Helen Keller brought further fame to the breed when she selected one as her companion and brought it to America. It was the first akita in America.
