Frequently Asked Questions
About
Akita
Puppies
What's it like owning a Akita?
As a Japanese breed, Akitas are intelligent, independent, and protective of those they love. They were originally bred to hunt wild animals, and they’re still known for possessing a strong prey drive. Despite their protectiveness, Akitas love people and want nothing more than to be treated as a valued member of the family. Full-grown, they typically weigh 70-130 pounds and stand 24-28 inches tall.
Are Akitas friendly with strangers and kids?
Akitas are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Akitas prefer to be the only pet in the household, but they typically get along well with other animals of the opposite gender when raised together. Otherwise, they see other pets and strangers as dangerous and aren’t afraid to defend their territory. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.
How much exercise does a Akita need?
Akitas are high-energy dogs that require plenty of physical and mental stimulation. They enjoy long walks, playtime with the family, and other fun activities that keep them engaged. Akitas are naturally energetic, so they love large, enclosed spaces where they can run and play. Overall, their exercise needs are high.
How much brushing and bathing does a Akita need?
Akitas have a double coat of coarse, short hair and an undercoat that’s soft and dense. They may have red, white, or streaked coats that shed twice a year - once in the spring and fall. In between, brushing them once a week will keep them fresh and fly. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
Where do Akitas do best — city or country?
Akitas are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Akitas prefer to be the only pet in the household, but they typically get along well with other animals of the opposite gender when raised together. They also need plenty of exercise and playtime, so the more space they have to roam, the better. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
