Beschrijving
The Akita is a majestic, dignified companion with a truly unique presence. Their deep loyalty is often reserved for their inner circle, and they can be quite discerning, even aloof, with strangers. With their family, however, they reveal a playful, teddy-bear softness, often initiating games or leaning into a beloved lap. Their strong prey drive and independent spirit, remnants of their history as versatile hunters, mean they thrive with consistent, positive training and a confident hand. While not overly vocal, an Akita's gaze speaks volumes: intelligent, watchful, and utterly devoted. They make an impressive, protective, and deeply rewarding family member for those who understand and respect their proud nature.
