alright sound thanks

**adrenalinjunkie** · 05-01-2011, 16:06

Sounds like you want one in the next 5 minutes

All the links posted are for American Akitas, not Japanese, American Akitas are much bigger and have masks or patches of colour, But Japanese Akitas look more like giant Shiba Inu and are very rare in Ireland.

edit: Here is a kennel that have the Japanese type in Northern Ireland

Theres not a Japanese Akita in Ireland anymore, its either the American or the Akita Inu.

Maybe the Op can have a look at all the links and let us know which one they are looking for.

haha True, its funny that the IKC put the Akita Inu(Japanese Akita) with all the spitz Nordic breeds into group 5 and the American Akita(Great Japanese Dog) into Group 2 along with all the Mastiff and bull breeds. Maybe its because he has some Tossa in the mix.

Nope they didnt, all the Akitas are in group 5. I show, and all the Akitas are in Group 5.

Chris_Heilong · 05-01-2011, 21:59

Well here is a grab of FormNO1 from the IKC website for when registering a litter, It has American Akita in group 2 and Akita Inu in group 5.

Sorry, but thats obviously a mis print. Trust me i know, all Akitas are in Group 5. I own and show rotties, and the Akita isnt in Group 2.

Heres a schedule for a show next month, see where Akitas are in Group 5,
