The Akita is designated a national monument in Japan. The breed originated in the snowy mountainous region of Japan, dating back as far as 500 B.C. It was used for large game hunting and guarding property. Originally, ownership of Akitas was restricted to royalty, and the breed was seldom allowed out of the country. The first Akita in the United States came as a gift to Helen Keller.

Mutts in Junior Showmanship? That’s what the AKC 18-month pilot program is allowing come this summer. And a lot of people are not happy. “We’re supposed to be ambassadors for promoting purebred dogs,” says one exhibitor. “Showing in AKC should be a goal not a given,” says another, and “Preserving purebred dogs is what separates the AKC from 4-H and other registries.” Many question why no survey of JS exhibitors or judges was ever distributed. Some even see it as a money-grab by the AKC, basically soaking mutt owners for what entry fees they can get before the hapless exhibitors, likely at a disadvantage, give up and go home.
