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!
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!)
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!
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.
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。😊
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.
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!
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 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.
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
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) ;)
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
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 !
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
To the person who said there are no bears in Japan (where the breed originates). Yes, there are certainly no bears in Japan. That's why the Japanese Black Bear is called the Japanese Black Bear, it's clearly french. Now if the breed was bred to fight bears I have no idea, but don't stay stuff like that without knowing because, there are in fact, bears in Japan.
No problem at all. A lot of people tend to forget Japan has a huge diverse range of species within it's boundaries, some of which is found nowhere else. They just think of Tokyo and tend to forget that 1) there are more countrysides than cities and 2) plenty of animals find it completely livable in urban environments anyway. Have a nice day.
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.
"There's a bear in your house, master! Let me at it! I have to defend you!"

HOLD ME BACK BRO, HOLD ME BACK

no tbh akitas were bred to fight bears
Was looking for this comment 🤣
He's a beautiful dog.
thats brave dog, you can tell he would not back off if bear attacks you

Akitas we’re originally bred to hunt boars and bears in ancient Japan, so it’s not surprising. 😍
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
"Come out of that screen, bear!! I'll show you what's what!!" LOL this was so adorable, thank you for sharing!

a really beautiful American Akita, they inherited that from the Japanese Akita Inu, their ancestors!
Dogs..beautiful animals,so funny,so dedicated and loyal,so innocent!The best friend a man can have indeed!!!
it's in sheer instinct akita's were bred in Japan to help there masters hunt bears
It's amazing to see the instant instinctive recognition here.
"must protec my hoomans" 😠 bless him, he's the goodest boy 😍 hope he's well 💗

They are so good with kids too.
Aside for their shedding, they are perfect family pets.

I can almost hear him saying LET ME AT HIM COME ON. How cute C:
Until he mauls your expensive TV lol xD

Goku and your comment make me cry.
I had an akita named Heidi. I miss her so much.

fascinating. it's in his dna.

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

If you Ever camp in the northern wilderness or something, you take this good boi with you!

Akita is a actually a bear fighting dog
They were bred to fight bears
Beautiful Akita.
An Akita dog does not dislike a bear.
It fights in order to protect man.
For an owner...
That's great your Akita wants to defend. One of many reasons why I want one.
any big dog can be dangerous. but aren't Akitas also particularly famous for being loyal and protective too?... x'D Akitas are awesome...
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 !
All three of my Akitas had the same reaction to the Bear!
Love your dog
家族を守ろうとする姿に感動して涙が出る(´；ω；｀)
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
This is what they were bred for! Attacking TVs :P Just kidding! Great vid!! :) And lovely dog!
Maybe he wants to be like Gin the bear-hound.
Wow! What a trip!
What a beautiful dog!!!I love akita!!
