The Akita originated from Japan in its mountainous northern regions. These are large breed of dog, actually the largest of the Spitz-type breeds wherein females weigh between 65 - 110 lbs and the males are around 85 - 130 lbs.
The Akita dogs are considered to be Japan's national dog and a natural monument. Back in the days they were highly prized and revered and only owned by nobility and aristocracy. Today, they are very good as a guard dog, although they do not do well if left alone for an extended period as they will become bored and destructive.
