Akita (dog)
The is a large breed of dog originating from the mountainous northern regions of Japan. There are two separate varieties of Akita: a ''Japanese'' strain, commonly called "Akita Ken" in Japan, "Akita Inu" ("inu" means "dog" in Japanese), "Japanese Akita"; and an ''American'' strain, known as the "Akita" or "American Akita".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=おすすめ酵素ドリンク比較ランキング )〕 The Japanese strain comes in a narrow palette of colors, with all other colors considered atypical of the breed, while the American strain comes in all dog colors.〔 The Akita has a short double coat, similar to that of many other northern spitz breeds such as the Siberian Husky, but long coated dogs can be found in many litters due to a recessive gene.
The Akita is a powerful, independent and dominant breed, commonly aloof with strangers but affectionate with family members. As a breed, Akitas are generally hardy, but they have been known to suffer from various genetic conditions and be sensitive to certain drugs.
In most countries, the American strain of Akita is now considered a separate breed. In the United States and Canada, however, the two strains are considered a single breed with differences in type. For a while, the American strain of Akita was known in some countries as the "Great Japanese Dog". Both forms of Akita are probably best known worldwide from the true story of Hachikō, a loyal Akita who lived in Japan before World War II.
==Breed name and related issues: American Akita, Akita or Akita Inu==
There is debate among fanciers whether there are two separate breeds of Akita. To date, only the American Kennel Club, and the Canadian Kennel Clubconsider American and Japanese Akitas to be two varieties of the same breed, allowing free breeding between the two. The Federation Cynologique Internationale, The Kennel Club,〔 〕 the Australian National Kennel Council, the New Zealand Kennel Club,〔 〕〔 〕 and the Japan Kennel Club consider Japanese and American Akitas as separate breeds.〔 Some countries refer to the American Akita as simply the "Akita" and not the American Akita. The issue is especially controversial in Japan. For the FCI's 84 countries, the breed split formally occurred June 1999, when the FCI decided that the American type would be called the Great Japanese Dog,〔 later renamed the American Akita in January 2006.〔
