Caring for a Japanese Akitainu

Health

Generally a healthy breed; hip dysplasia and some autoimmune skin conditions (similar to those seen in the American Akita) can occur.

Nutrition

A quality diet in measured portions; standard weight management applies.

Grooming

The dense double coat sheds heavily during seasonal blowouts and needs regular brushing during those periods.

Training

Independent and reserved with strangers — early socialization and an experienced handler matter given the breed's guarding instincts.

About the breed

One of Japan's six native spitz breeds, closely related to the American Akita but distinguished by a smaller frame and stricter color standard.

Dignified, alert, and somewhat aloof, the Japanese Akitainu is a serious guardian breed with genuine independence.
