Description
Dog Breed: Akita (medium coat). Hi there, the name's Tokyo! I am a fun loving ball of fur and full of energy type of gal. Looking for a companion who loves the snow?! Well that's me to a tee! I love zooming and rolling around in the snow, its my passion. That's where my thick beautiful coat helps me out. But it also causes me to be a big time shedder. For those of you who don't know too much about my breed, I am a solid 93.2 lbs. Although I am super friendly and loving, I may not be the greatest with other dogs and possibly cats. So for now, I should probably be the only pet in the household. But I am also a very clean dog and only like the best treats. The best advice I can give you right now is to come down to London Animal Care Centre and meet me. I'll be here! -Tokyo

Overview:
The Akita is a majestic and powerful breed originating from the mountainous regions of Japan, initially bred for hunting large game like bears and wild boar. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their substantial size, typically weighing between 70-130 pounds, and their dense double coat, which comes in various colors including red, fawn, sesame, white, and brindle. They possess a distinctive curled tail and a broad, triangular head with small, erect ears. In terms of temperament, Akitas are known for being loyal, courageous, and often described as "cat-like" in their independence and fastidiousness. While deeply devoted to their families, they can be reserved and even wary of strangers, requiring early socialization to ensure a well-adjusted adult. Due to their strong prey drive and independent nature, they are generally not recommended for first-time dog owners and thrive with experienced handlers. They can be good family dogs for those who understand their need for personal space and consistent training, but their size and sometimes aloof nature make them less suitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Health-wise, the breed can be prone to conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and autoimmune disorders like Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
