A house with a garden is best for keeping an Akita Inu. In this way, he can fulfill his urge to move and his instinct to be awake. Nevertheless, he can also be kept in a larger apartment, as long as you provide enough exercise and sporting activities. Therefore, the rule of thumb applies: the smaller the apartment, the longer you should be outside with the dog.
#1 The Akita Inu is a large, well-proportioned dog with a strong body, lots of substance and a robust constitution that exudes nobility, dignity and modesty.
The most famous male Akita is probably "Hachikō", who founded an urban legend in Japan in the 1920s because, even after the death of his owner, he waited in vain for his return every day at his train station in Shibuya, Tokyo. After Hachikō's death, a statue of the faithful dog was erected in front of that station, which remains a major tourist attraction today. In 2009, his story was also captured for western audiences with the film Hachiko - A Wonderful Friendship with Richard Gere.
