Smaller than the American Akita, the Japanese Akita Inu is believed to have descended from northern Japanese hunting dogs. Originally considered a variant of the Akita, it was officially recognized as a distinct breed in the 1990s. This breed is naturally territorial and protective, requiring early training and socialization to ensure balanced behavior.
