If you have never owned a dog, this shouldn’t be your first choice. They are not so easy to train because they are very independent and tend to be dominant. When they are well trained, they are great guardians and get along great with children. They are intelligent, brave and faithful. The most famous story of Akita’s loyalty is the one about Hachiko and his Akita, who waited for his owner every day for nine years, after his master’s death.
