History

Akita - one of the oldest breeds of domesticated dogs. It is a large spitz-type dog originated in Japan. After World War II, the U.S. military brought home many dogs of Dewa lines. Thanks to intelligence and ability to adapt to different conditions, these dogs have won the hearts of breeders in the U.S. As a result, the popularity of this line increased, and the number of their breeders increased. Akita is probably best known worldwide from the true story of “Hachiko”.The Akita Club of America was founded in 1956, and in October 1972 the breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club.
