Akita Inu
The reason the Akita Inu supposedly exists in the U.S. is thanks to Helen Keller. In 1938 she was given two of them as gifts from the Japanese government. Just a year later, they were a standard edition to dog shows across the U.S. Akitas are known to be great family dogs, very kind and super intelligent. But, they can be very suspicious of others, and distrust many, if not all strangers other than their owners. It is very unlikely that they will be tricked into something they don’t want to do as they are extremely independent dogs. Although they are trainable, they will often ignore commands that they deem unfitting or unjust. Sounds like you’ve got another teenager on your hands!
