Akita — a hunting dog of Japan. The dog has received the name under the name of a province Akita located in northern part of island Honshu. Most likely, these dogs have been delivered from the Asian continent. It is very ancient breed, bone remains of a dog of Inostrantseva, that is primitive dogs, are found out in Japan more than for two thousand years B.C. Some cynologists assume that akita has occurred from northern husky to which blood of a mastiff have been flowed. Certainly, not a modern mastiff, and ancient dogs of type of the Tibetan mastiff .
Akita in Japan very much appreciated at hunting for large animals, basically deer and bears, therefore a great attention turned on working qualities of dogs, very much appreciated their large growth, force and dexterity. For preservation and development of the hunting and pedigree qualities akita in Japan in VI century Clubs of fans of these dogs have been based and instructions in which it was specified how it is necessary to contain, plant, train and use them are made. In XV century breeding books in which registered a nickname, an origin, окрас and other data on a dog have been founded. Hence, akita has the most ancient family tree, however with penetration into Japan from Europe these breeding books have ceased to conduct civilisations and have renewed only in 1928 when the society on conducting breeding work with akita again has been based.
To dog breeders of America and Europe akita it became known rather recently. Americans have brought it To the USA after the Second World War, and from America it has got to other countries, for example in Europe it has appeared only in 1963 at the International exhibition in Hanover (Germany). In 1964 FCI officially recognised this breed and has confirmed its standard.
Akita — a large dog (height dogs 64 — 70 sm, a bough — 58 — 64 sm, weight 38 — 50 kg). The dog of dense addition, with a little extended format of the case, the counterbalanced behaviour, easily gives in to the training, constrained, proud, with independent customs and one likes to run about. Colour there can be any, but meets grey, pepper salt or pale-yellow with a black mask is more often. There can be white marks standing, the breast, a stomach and a tail tip, but on a head white should not be. A head heavy, a skull volume with a wide forehead in the middle of which there passes well expressed groove. Transition from a forehead to a muzzle is expressed, cheeks brawny, a muzzle a straight line, not long, slightly pointed. Ears small, triangular, standing, wide at the basis. Eyes dark, in centuries of a direct cut. The tail in a ring, is sometimes twirled by a spiral, will throw for a back or is pressed to a hip.
Akita was used at hunting for large animals that was promoted by its boldness and fearlessness earlier, now the range of its hunting application has extended; besides, it can be the good watchman and the companion at walks. To contain it it is better in the street.
