The Akita Inu is a large and powerful dog breed with a noble and intimidating presence. He was initially used for guarding royalty and nobility in feudal Japan. The Akita also tracked and hunted wild boar, black bear, and sometimes deer. He is a fearless and loyal guardian of his family. The Akita does not back down from challenges and does not frighten easily. Yet, when properly trained and socialized, he is also an affectionate, respectful, and amusing dog that makes them the cutest dog ever.
We want to share with you our obsession with these cuties. Here are 65+ Akita Inus that are cute as can be.
