The Akita. No, it's not a Husky! Akita's are smaller, stockier, much quieter and more reserved. They make amazing companions due to their fierce loyalty to their owners. When you win over the heart of an Akita, you'll see their relaxed, docile side, making them a loveable character, full of energy and fun! Their bark sounds like someone has ordered a rumble of thunder but don't let that put you off! Give them time and you'll see their sweet nature!
