Pets and Animals Shop > Dog Art by Maggie Ross > Working Dogs > Akita

The Akita character is the result of centuries of breeding in Japan. Japanese history, both verbal and written, describe the Akita as one of the oldest of the native dogs.

Centuries ago the breed was owned only by the Shogun, the imperial leaders of the country.

The Akita was developed in the Akita prefecture: the northernmost region of the island of Honshu. Bred to hunt, guard, and herd, this swift, agile, unswervingly tenacious dog tracked large game and held it at bay until the royal hunters arrived to make the kill.

The Akita's quarry included elk, antelope, boar, and the 800-pound Yezo bear.

The man who lives next door to me owns a beautiful Akita named Geo - and if anyone new ventures onto our street, Geo's bark is satisfyingly comforting. . .for the homeowners!
