This is an example of the Akita's nature. In Japan, they are called "Kuma-inu" meaning "bear-hound." They are powerful and strong. Not to mention, they are loyal to their masters, wonderful dogs. They really are.
I had one Akita... he was very protective. In one occasion, a stray dog approached me and my akita tackled him but did not bite... He waited to hear from me. I called his name and he let it go. He wasn't a trained dog. Had it been my pinscher dog instead, a fight would have definitely started. These dogs are awesome. They have self-control unlike many other breeds.
I had the same thing happen to me with my Akita. She tackled the stray from behind and held him down till I said to let go. This gave me time to get the kids away from the possible danger. As soon as she let go the stray bolted straight out of my yard and she chased it out but didn't leave the yard. Its amazing what naturally comes to them. No greater dog for protection period!
I don't call them animals, they're kids, they do have a mind like a 4 years old. Akitas are not for everybody, they're fenomenaly powerful, they're very clean, they're willing to die to protect you, they don't bark, other than that, they're just dogs. My Marcel, died in my hands, he was 18 and he was my child.
This!.....is a excellent example of a American Akita! Bred specifically for hunting bear, boar and large deer. Good to see that prey drive is still very much intact!
Thanks for the comments everyone, sorry I've not replied to you all who asked questions, but typically on a mobile/tablet on here and can't reply to comments. Goku is still protecting the house and still attacks bears, wags his tail at dogs and is particularly interested in Meercat Manor and The Dog Whisperer TV shows (sometimes falls asleep watching them but fits it for as long as he can!)
Amazing Dog ! I have a Japanese Akita Inu who is 15 months old, named Ronin. They are so adorably beautiful, extremely loyal and smart creatures. To own one is just a dream come true. Wish you a happy life with your gorgeous boy. Cheers.
Love this breed, stubborn, proud, sometimes headstrong, but when the chips are down, they will protect their family.... sometimes more than what you consider your friends for.
My Akita loves watching Clint Eastwood movies ! We thought it was because of the horses, but its not, because he likes the Dirty Harry films too. Anything with Clint in it and he sits right in front of the TV and will not move !
His name is Goku Skellen. He was born with Osteochondritis dissecans. He should never have been able to walk due to the extreme pain as all four of his joints were the worst the surgeon had ever seen in over 20 years of specialist surgery. He is my Ambassador of triumph over adversity. Thank you Jay for capturing this moment, I remember it like yesterday. My special little man Goku x x x
I grew up with Malamutes, GSD's and Rottweilers. No dog is a dangerous dog, except for perhaps wolves and wolf hybrids, which aren't really domestic dogs at all. Some dogs have more energy and more drive, and require a structured house, but there aren't any special skills involved. Any family can properly socialize and properly raise any dog if they bother to put in the time.
My dads Akita would retrieve the newspaper from the drive way or grab beers out the fridge for my dad . But only for him .lol my dad would joke around and say he needed to see my ID . I always told my self I would have several on my property
This is one of the coolest akita videos I've ever seen!! My akita Coco likes the dog shows. I have this movie. I'm going to play it for her and see what she does. And yes, akitas are bear hunters.
There's nothing that winds me up more than those who say Akitas are dangerous dogs. Mine is 3 years old now, the biggest softest teddy bear you have ever come across, loves every dog, human, child, couldnt hurt a fly. He's had jack russels clamp onto his cheeks and not even reacted because there isnt an aggresive bone in him, he's had plenty of little dogs attack him and just nudges them off, with his size and power he could disable them within seconds but he doesnt. They're what you make them!
Here in the UK he is an Akita but to clarify in answer to your question yes. He is from what are more commonly known as 'American Akita' breeding lines.
That is SO FUNNY! My akita did the SAME THING! Hated bears!!! DNA is amazing :) (actually, your dog is much quieter than mine would have been, perhaps being an American Akita, he was noisier than his well-mannered UK counterpart) ;)
Yes. Akita inu was used to be goes mountain hike with Samurai for companionship and protection as well. 変なチンピラに英語で喋ろとかかいてありましたが、そいつは例のアジア人です。気にしないでね。血統付き秋田犬ファミリーの話だから当然日本語はもっと見ることになるけどソイツは場違いだから謝罪して二度とここへは来ないで！と伝えてあります。😊
As an akita owner i can happily say the narrow minded people are what give the breed a bad name they were used for gaurding and in japan were often used as babysitters if you train them well they will never hurt anyone and yes they were ised to hunt bears but also every dog comes from a wolf. Still find this video cool
Funny. Have to share. My boy watches tv..if I pause sometimes enters room..thinks strange person in house barks at tv.. Fab dogs..Love my Akitas. Love this one too. Gave me a good laugh...lol
the movie is white fang. But it is a testament of it fearlessness. Akita are the Japanese bear dog, they were used to track, hunt and hold the bear until the hunter could arrive. They are strong and beautiful creatures.
I have a Peregrine Falcon that flew across the room and hit my TV with her feet trying to catch some partridges on the screen. She and the TV were fine, no harm done.
@slybuster it's also worth noting that in the UK, dangerous dogs are not labelled by their breed, but by characteristics, and based on their behaviour which is decided by the court.
Akita Inu's has a special tense against Bear's i do not know why but everytime i see an Akita Inu watching a bear they get their figthing instincts up.
Pretty amazing really. Akita would stand upright to appear bigger to larger animals when hunting like Bear and Bore. My Akita Stands up when she thinks she's in Danger
Cont. - This particular lineage is the Tosa/Mastiff as they are considerably larger than the Japanese Akita which is larger than a GSD. You do see GSD/Akita mix but they don't look right and are smaller. Goku is an amazing character but I researched 9 months on the breed prior to purchase as they are not pets. They are pack animals that require respect and personalities vary massively. Can be very dog/stranger aggressive, extremely protective and should never be off a lead.
I think perhaps they can, of course they respond more to the sound, probably have trouble making out what they see on the screen, the sound definitely means something to them though.
"There's a bear in your house, master! Let me at it! I have to defend you!"
HOLD ME BACK BRO, HOLD ME BACK
Logic hahahaha
no tbh akitas were bred to fight bears
Was looking for this comment 🤣

Korean akitas are better
woww
@@azuki2757 they are the dogs of the samurais
Akitas we’re originally bred to hunt boars and bears in ancient Japan, so it’s not surprising. 😍
thats brave dog, you can tell he would not back off if bear attacks you
I met my relatives I haven't seen in 15-16 yrs and they have an Akita. Oh my God, he was such a sweet, fluffy bear! So so soft!
Perfect akita instinct, gorgeous dog
Dogs..beautiful animals,so funny,so dedicated and loyal,so innocent!The best friend a man can have indeed!!!

a really beautiful American Akita, they inherited that from the Japanese Akita Inu, their ancestors!
"must protec my hoomans" 😠 bless him, he's the goodest boy 😍 hope he's well 💗

I can almost hear him saying LET ME AT HIM COME ON. How cute C:
Until he mauls your expensive TV lol xD
They are so good with kids too.
Aside for their shedding, they are perfect family pets.

Goku and your comment make me cry.
I had an akita named Heidi. I miss her so much.
"Get out of my way human, can't you see I want to kick this bear's ass?"
And not a single bark. Akita's are the best.
This type of dog is just incredible.

if you didnt know akita use to hunt bears goes back to there DNA
Yes. And used to be the samurai’s companions Dog as hiking on the mountains. 🐶
As an akita owner I'm stuck on that perfect tail
"Agárrenme, agárrenme!" que lo mato". XD

Beautiful Akita.
i have a 7 month old akita and he does that all the time
Very lovely video!!! Thanks! 🐕🐕🐕💚
That's great your Akita wants to defend. One of many reasons why I want one.
fascinating. it's in his dna.
any big dog can be dangerous. but aren't Akitas also particularly famous for being loyal and protective too?... x'D Akitas are awesome...
BEAUTIFUL DOG! BEAUTIFUL BABY!

wtf does this even mean? Dogs and wolves are as close in relationship as a cat and a lion.
Adam Wright yes no one really knows that
@@stevesteve1729 no. Cats didn’t come from lions. Cats came from felis silveritis or their ancestors
An Akita dog does not dislike a bear.
It fights in order to protect man.
For an owner...

Love your dog
If you Ever camp in the northern wilderness or something, you take this good boi with you!
mine (Japaneses Akita) does that when my car windshield wiper goes off :))lool
i was always told that dogs cannot see the images on a screen.. i guess that wasnt true
Akita is a actually a bear fighting dog
Love your dog he is beautiful . I have a male german shep was thinking about getting a Akita also.
depends on the dog, my golden does not pay much attention my husky will watch whats on the tv.
akita is cool & strong dog.
This is stunning

実に愛情深く勇敢な犬だ
あと後ろ足がとくにかわいいっすねー＞＜
後ろ足に力強さを感じる～勇ましい！！
Looks like a half-breed between Akita and Tosa
American Akitas were bred with tosa Inus as well along with mastiffs German sheps and many more with the Akita inu
beautiful dog.
Beautiful Akita, strong warrior and sweet bear,,, 🐕😘😘My Akita name is Kaila🐕😘
Maybe he wants to be like Gin the bear-hound.
I heard somewhere that a few akitas can take down a bear
They were bred to fight bears
Akita Inu's has a special tense against Bear's i do not know why but everytime i see an Akita Inu watching a bear they get their figthing instincts up.
this could be a perfect add for a tv promotion
true akita through and through. LOVE IT!
ほぼ吠えないのが秋田らしい。日本の血が入っている犬は、自分の仕事を黙ってする傾向があるよね。そのせいで危険な犬種だと思われる事も多いけど。
なんにせよ、狩猟と家族の保護と言う自分の仕事を全うしようとした彼はとても偉くてとても良い子。アメリカン・アキタは実物を見た事がないけど、彼はすごく綺麗だね。
akita dog is bear hunting dog
まるで「俺と戦わせろ！」と、うなっているようですね。
Wow! What a trip!
'HOLD ME BACK" type stuff 🤣
Pretty amazing really. Akita would stand upright to appear bigger to larger animals when hunting like Bear and Bore. My Akita Stands up when she thinks she's in Danger

Haha love your dog, i want to get one just like him! X3
