Now let us come to the other breed of Akita which is the American Akita. The American Akita began to part ways with the Japanese Akita post the Second World War. After being brought to America by Hellen Keller, this breed started gaining a significant amount of popularity that resulted in them being bred in a good amount all over America. However, after many stages of cross breeding, the American Akita took the shape of a more bear-like dog than the small framed Akita Inu. And not so surprisingly, the Americans started preferring that more and that is how we have reached the current appearance of the American Akita.

American Akitas are therefore bigger than the Japanese Akita Inu and exhibit a more bear-like appearance. They are aloof around strangers and always on guard. Thanks to their big body, they work not only good at domestic dogs but extremely well as guard dogs as well. American Akitas mostly come in sable colors that have pinto patterns on them. They have a black face which is known as the black mask that covers their entire face, nose and even ears. A short double coat is common keeping in mind their origin which is from the mountains. They are very healthy dogs and rarely fall sick. However the India tropical weather might not be that good for them and will probably lead to dehydration and overheating of your Akita. This goes for both the breeds of the Akitas.
