First developed in 19th-century Japan as a fighting dog, this breed later gained popularity among American breeders and became known as the American Akita. Dignified yet strong-willed, it can be dominant toward other dogs. Without firm guidance from an experienced owner, the American Akita may develop stubborn or aggressive tendencies.
