Tbf if anything I think an Akita would be a mixer and not a straight in catch dog, they used the original dogs to hunt bears in Japan but the American dogs are a releative modern creation.
My Dad's last Akita was a lovely natured dog tbh but the first one he got in 94 was a danger to other male dogs.
Mine so far has been so-so, he's showed a few bad signs when he's bumped in to dogs, best to just keep him on the lead.
In a way I regret getting the big fur ball, should have just got a lurcher.
