The Akita Inu is a large breed dog that is suited for outside or inside living. In addition to being a large dog, usually weighing between 75 and 110 pounds, the Akita also has a very, distinguishable shape. The head is quite large and the tail long but curled up over the back or side. When you see this particular breed, you would likely be impressed by both power and grace. Due to the history of this breed, coupled by its sheer strength, it is imperative that the Akita Inu be properly trained and socialized. For example, when first bred back in the early 17th century, this breed was used for hunting, later followed by dog fighting.
