The large, curled tail, balancing the broad head, is also characteristic of the breed.
Males are 26 to 28 inches at the withers; bitches are 24 to 26 inches.
Disqualification - dogs under 25 inches; bitches under 23 inches.
The Akita is a large, powerful dog. The dog has a distinctive double coat with medium length guard hairs and a soft dense undercoat, which is shed once or twice a year. Any color is acceptable.
The Akitas temperament is alert and responsive. Rarely is hyperactivity a problem. Some Akitas can become very lethargic in hot weather. Though highly intelligent, the Akita’s independent nature provides a challenge to most trainers. Most Akitas show aggressive tendencies toward other dogs.
By nature the Akita is a guard dog with an aloof attitude towards strangers. Although most Akitas are very tolerant of children, the size and strength of this breed make it a potential danger. The Akita is usually docile and quiet, needing only a moderate amount of exercise. Fiercely loyal, the Akita prefers human company to that of other animals and is not happy when separated from his family
