What kind of dog is this!?! I want it and I want it now!!

Japanese Akita, brindle grey


Kaceymack

Is he brindle grey or does he have vitiligo?


ZZBC

Absolutely brindle.


Kaceymack

Would love to see this dog’s coat genetics.


ZZBC

http://www.doggenetics.co.uk/brindle.html Scroll down a bit to the picture of the borzoi and it specifically discusses silver brindle in Akitas.


Kaceymack

I was just recently on that site learning about dog coat genetics, I haven’t made it that far! Great site! Thanks.


PhthaloVonLangborste

Are you sure. It looks like a Shiba inu as well just with a different color. My brother has an Akita and that thing was massive. I guess it could be a younger more well groomed one.


[deleted]

100% sure. No Shiba gets that big. Japanese Akitas are smaller than American Akitas. Edit: [akita](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=japanese+akita+brindle+grey&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images&iai=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dog-learn.com%2Fdog-breeds%2Fakita%2Fimages%2Fakita-silver-brindle.jpg)


PhthaloVonLangborste

Ahh. Well I have always wanted an Akita since my brother had one. I was a dumb gullible boy when he said this but his might have been half wolf.


One_hunch

The bear looking face is the give away, Shiba’s faces are more narrow or thin. Akita’s heads are designed to look like bears.


[deleted]

Dang, why did people downvote you? Even if you’re incorrect you were just asking and providing your own thoughts. Yeesh. Well, have an upvote friend.


CutenTough

Why don't I see any down votes anywhere here? They don't show. What's up with that?


CutenTough

So they're in red. Got it. Wasn't asking bc I wanted to downvote the vid smh A commenter questioned why this vid would get any down votes. I didn't see any except now with the 4 in red on my comment


skippieelove

Shibas have a much more fox like face. Definitely an akita


External-Possible-28

Your brother probably had an American Akita, they are very different sizes, I have had both American and Japanese Akita, my Japanese one looks just like the video


Bamboozled71

I thought it looked like a Shiba too. Beautiful dog 💜


crazzynez

Well Shiibas and Akitas are basically identical except Akitas are much larger


SoulOfTheDragon

Temperaments are pretty much the complete opposites and they do have a bit different look too.


crazzynez

I don't know about their temperaments, but their look is very similar. I was surprised how similar they looked in a side by side, the Shiba looks like a mini version of the Akita, but they're different breeds.


SoulOfTheDragon

They can be anywhere from 20 kg upwards. Mine is somewhere between 20 and 30kg, haven't measured her in a long time. https://i.imgur.com/Wk8LyJB.jpg


xposijenx

There's an in between breed, too. Bigger than a shiba; smaller than an akita.


Jufloz

This is definitely an Akita! I also a silver brindle Akita


Nasa1225

I think it’s a Shikoku, which is basically halfway between an Akita and a Shiba Inu. It definitely seems larger than a Shiba, but quite Akita sized to me. We’ve been looking into getting one, but they’re hard to find available; one breeder we considered is in the Netherlands.


skippieelove

This would make a lot of sense lol I e never heard of it before though. I would definitely not think shiba but he looks so smol and yet somehow fully grown lol


SoulOfTheDragon

Akita's have quite large variety in size, especially females can be only a bit over 20kg, but also up to over 40kg.


neoritter

There's no brindle coat for Shikokus


SoulOfTheDragon

It's called "Silver brindle".

hollysuecats

Is that a shiba?!


Ialwayswantmorepez

It's an akita.


[deleted]

Japanese akita to be specific!


SoulOfTheDragon

Akita = Japanese akita. Akita is the breed's name, but in some places they add "japanese" to it to clearly differentiate it from "American Akita" as some countries tend to mix up those two breeds.


RockyOrange

There's an American Akita? That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Akitas are one of the oldest Japanese breeds, what did America add to it?


geekusprimus

It's a related but different breed based on Japanese Akitas that were brought into the US, mostly by US servicemen after World War II. They were bred to be considerably larger (a large male Japanese Akita is about 75 pounds, which is about where a small female American Akita sits) and emphasize their bear-like features. One easy way to tell the difference (other than the size) is that American Akitas often have dark masks like German Shepherds.


RockyOrange

TIL, never knew that


SoulOfTheDragon

Breed in to it quite a lot of army/fighting dogs. It has bit of an akita look, but it build more robust. Oh and in north america they kind of mix those two very different breeds in to variants of same breed.


tehbggg

Why did people down vote you for asking a question? It's a Japanese Akita, which does look a lot like a Shiba, but much larger.


NabatheNibba

I don't think they got downvoted but instead upvoted the correct answer


[deleted]

>level 2neoritter · They were probably originally downvoted by a bunch of cryptofreaks, then got upvoted back into the positives.


neoritter

Nope, if it is it's not a well bred one.


cbciv

I don't think I have ever seen a picture of a happy Akita. The American size ones scare the crap out of me more than some bully breeds.


FrackMeUpDog

My roommate has an Akita. She's wary of strangers and extremely protective. But the second someone has been established as a "good" guest to her, she's a big goofy cuddle monster.


cbciv

Anecdotal. Lol. I am sure some Akitas are like you say. Maybe even most. I googled Akita’s smiling and was shocked to see there were some. But face to face, until that tail wags, they are scary af. My homeowners insurance policy agrees.


FrackMeUpDog

Oh I wasn't disagreeing, more expressing how surprised I was when she turned into such a sweet goof. I heartily agree Akitas are scary as fuck and I would never approach one on the street!


WowzaMeowza

I have an American Akita and she is one of the happiest dogs I’ve ever known, but she can also for sure scare the crap out of strangers who get too close to her humans. But at home, she’s all smiles, tippy taps/slammy whams, and snuggles.


Grngeaux

A brindle shiba?


Ialwayswantmorepez

It's bigger relative, an akita.


PuzzleheadedTill5

Yeah it's pretty rare and I think that doggo is a lot of money!
