Description
Dog Breed: Akita (medium coat). Adoption Update: This dog is currently on a temporary 2-week hold due to a sick puppy in the kennel area. Please check back in 2 weeks. Meet this beautiful 5-year-old spayed female Akita! This sweet girl is as loyal as they come and truly loves being by your side. She appears to be potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows her basic commands. Sheâs very treat-motivated (training will be a breeze!) and seems to get along well with other dogs. Calm, affectionate, and devoted, sheâs happiest sticking close to her person. Bonus: she loves the snow and would thrive with someone who enjoys chilly adventures just as much as cozy companionship. ? Loyal ⢠Loving ⢠Well-mannered ⢠Snow lover.

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.
