Akita Inu/ Akita

I settled for 3 a day. The Akita is a Japanese dog breed of large size. Originating from the mountains of northern Japan, the Akita has a short double coat similar to that of many other northern spitz breeds. Historically, they were used by samurai for guarding, fighting and the hunting of bears.
