About Akitas:

The Akita-Inu is a Breed of large dog originating in Japan, named for Akita Prefecture, where it is thought to have originated, while "Inu"- means "dog" in Japanese.
he breed stands 24 to 28 inches at the withers (60 to 71 cm). Females weigh anywhere from 70-100 pounds (30-45kg). Males are 75-120 pounds (35-55 kg). In Japan, Akitas come in only four colours: Red Fawn, Sesame (red fawn hairs with black tips), Brindle, and White. All except white must have whitish hair on the sides of the muzzle, on the cheeks, the neck, chest, body and tail.
Akita, in Japanese culture, is a symbol of faithfulness and loyalty, according to the story of Hachikō. When his owner died, Hachikō returned to the train station every day for the rest of his life to wait for him - for almost 10 years. A life-size statue of Hachikō still stands at Shibuya Station.

And, last but not least, it's the most wonderful breed ever!
