Akita Inu
The Akita Inu stands 24 to 28 inches at the withers (60 to 71 cm). Females weigh anywhere from 70-110 pounds. Males are 85-130 pounds. Akitas come in three colors: white, brindle, and pinto (white with another color). In the U.S., however, some breeders still mix the original Japanese type with the heavier American type, which is larger, shorter in fur, and allows more colors.
This is not the same Akita as the Japanese Akita. In fact, these two types are nowadays different breeds. The original Akita Inu is now simply called Akita, the American type is called American Akita or Great Japanese Dog.
