The Shiba Inu, often nicknamed “Miniature Akita”, is a breed of dog very similar to the now popular Akita. Many people end up mixing up the two because they are very like in appearance: they both have sharp, triangular ears, a long, wide snout, furry coat and a curled tail. However, although both dogs originated from Japan, they are not in the same family and thus are not the same thing. Miniature Akitas is a misleading term, and many people end up believing that that is the actual name of the breed. Although they have similar characteristics, both breeds are ultimately very different from each other. Each one has its own unique characteristics.
Why are they termed Miniature Akitas? The most obvious answer is because that’s exactly what they appear as: smaller versions of the mighty Akita. While this may be true, there are other differences that make the Shiba Inu…

In a world where so long as you are connected to the internet, you can get whatever information you want, is it also true that it will be easier to find an Akita puppy to adopt or to buy?
The easy answer to this question is yes. The internet provides all sorts of new avenues where you can buy or adopt an Akita puppy.

One of the best paths to take is to Craigslist Akita puppies. However, it is always not safe to answer to Craislist ads, specifically, to Craigslist Akita ads as this service is free and you never know if the person who placed the Craigslist…

If you are thinking of buying or adopting an American Akita, one of the main things that you have to take note of is if you will be able to train this breed of dog.
Training this dog is an utmost concern because the innate discipline that you see in housebroken American Akitas is a behavior derived from months of strict training. Most people who are interested in buying American Akitas are attracted to the breed because this particular type of dog seems to have an air of elegance and royalty. While it is true that American Akitas are deeply loyal to their masters and the family where they consider to belong to, they are also at the same time, independent and leaders in their own mind set so someone with a weak training methodology may end up not training the dog at all.
The first and foremost tip in training…

The akita has enjoyed a rise in its popularity due to its innate abilities that make the dog perfectly suitable for guard dog work. It was originally bred in Japan for dog fights (which has long been banned) and hunting. Because of its proud stance and intelligent, independent, and loyal nature, the akita was regarded as a royal pet by the Japanese aristocracy during the breed’s early history. Currently, the breed enjoys its status as a national monument in Japan.
Akitas were first introduced to the United States in 1937 but were not popular until 1945 when American soldiers started bringing more of the breed back to the States. Helen Keller is often credited for bringing the first Akita to the US. She was said to be so taken with the story of Hachiko, a loyal akita who waited for his master, Dr. Elisaburo Ueno, at the train station everyday…
