Price tag: anywhere between $1500 and $4500, depending on the dog’s breeder and pedigree

Probably the most famous Akita in history is Hachiko – the loyal dog from World War II that never stopped loving his master. It is certainly true that Akita dogs tend to be affectionate with members of the family, but they are rather aloof when it comes to strangers. Typically, the Akita is a hunting dog and can be temperamental at times.
