Akitas are working Cani (meaning they were trained to work with and help humans hunt o pull) so they require alot of exercise as they are genetically strong, they grow quite big and can be tricky to train! Other than that they are a great dog :)
they are very protective of their owners they are in the same catagory as pitbulls in the sense that people us and breed them to fight now. so they can be mean but with a little tlc (tender Amore and care) they are great Cani to own. trust me i have one.us
